Yet, Paul Merson doesn't see it this way. No, Merson reckons Simeone might be interested in the job, because it would give him the chance to work in the Premier League, because "everybody wants to be in the Premier League now."
"This is where it has taken Simeone now," Merson said on Sky Sports show The Debate, on Tuesday night.
"People are saying he might be a bit big for the club, but he's been around a long time. Atletico Madrid are not the team they were and they are falling behind a bit. He’ll look at the Premier League and think, 'right, I'm not going to be manager of Liverpool, Man City or Arsenal, maybe Chelsea' and all of a sudden, Everton are the next best thing. Even with where they are, they are the next biggest club with money and big wages, then he's in the Premier League."As far as Merson is concerned, the Premier League is the best league in the bloody world, and them foreign types would bite your hand off to manage here, Jeff. The former Arsenal player is basing this on the fact that some Spanish games kick-off early, which means they're now copying the Premier League and trying to "get the market." If Simeone does become Everton manager (he won't), expect a Merson rant about the club not giving the job to Tim Sherwood instead. You can watch Merson here:
