If your team had just finished in the bottom half of the Premier League, you could surely only dream of recruiting a manager with extensive Champions League experience.
Well, that's the theory. In practice, plenty of Everton fans have found a way to make a Premier League winning coach look like a dud, in much the same way that spoilt children might complain that their parents have bought them the wrong colour iPad for Christmas.
Manuel Pellegrini has reportedly begun discussions with the newly-monied club, who - let's not forget - have just finished 11th in the Premier League.
That's the same Pellegrini who managed the Villarreal team that denied Everton their best shot at Champions League football in 2005/06.
The same Pellegrini who led Real Madrid to 31 league wins in 38 league games (more than any Premier League winner ever) and took Malaga within a minute of a Champions League semi-final.
The same Pellegrini who (and this is a big one) won the Premier League in 2014!
That's not enough for some, though, as a quick scrawl of Twitter shows.
