Following the news that Everton have sacked Roberto Martinez, speculation has linked departing Ajax coach Frank de Boer with the role.
That's of interest to Rob McDonald, who has lived in the Netherlands for 35 years, winning the Eredivisie with PSV as a player, and is now a headhunter placing Dutch coaches in roles at home and abroad.
Perhaps surprisingly given his admiration for the capabilities of Dutch coaches, he feels De Boer is not necessarily an obvious fit for Everton despite the strength of his CV…
"I'm really not sure if Everton is right for him," McDonald tells Sky Sports. "They'd have to give him some money. He'd need at least four or five players to do what he wants to do."
The appetite for change at Goodison Park is huge, but whether 'what De Boer wants to do' would differ enough from what fans have witnessed under Martinez is unclear.
"One criticism that he has had in the past couple of years is that it's too much sideways and not enough forwards," adds McDonald.
"It's a bit similar to what we've seen from Louis van Gaal at Manchester United. Frank would look to come in and play - I don't want to say defensive - but a little bit safer."
Van Gaal's possession-based approach has proven reasonably effective against Premier League rivals but United have suffered badly in trying to break down bottom-half teams.
That could be a challenge for De Boer, too. For example, Ajax had more possession than champions PSV in the Eredivisie this season but had fewer shots and scored fewer goals.
"I think it would surprise him how defensively organised the smaller teams are in England," says McDonald.
"When you have to break teams down, it's just a whole different ball game when opponents are so well organised. It's becoming much more difficult in the Premier League.
"In England, there are going to be times when you've got to put the ball into the channels and force it a little bit. I think Frank would recognise that."
The lesson of Ajax's final game of the season will certainly be fresh in his mind. De Boer's team needed a win at De Graafschap to edge out PSV but could only manage a 1-1 draw.
The coach did not escape blame. "He came in for a bit of criticism for this game," says McDonald. "He took his striker off, who was his top scorer, and brought another striker on.
"That's the choice that a manager takes at that time, but the feeling is that he could have put two strikers on and really gone for it because De Graafschap were just sitting in.
"It was a big shock. Nobody could've expected it. Ajax have always got this sort of arrogance about them, with their history and stature, and sometimes it can work against them.
"It's not all down to De Boer, though, because he will have kept them sharp until the end, even though he was out for a little while with a foot injury.
"You're always remembered for your last game and that's sad because he won four titles in a row. Frank has done a great job. And if we're really honest, PSV had the better players."
So what are his strengths? "He's got a good team around him with Dennis Bergkamp and Hennie Spijkerman, who is not so well known in England, who's been a very good assistant.
"What you've got with Frank is somebody who'll obviously follow the Cruyff methods having been at Barcelona and Ajax. Tactically he's pretty astute.
"He's good with the players but he's hard too so if you cause trouble you've got a problem. His training methods are very much with the ball and he likes to build up from the back."
A coach who'll keep the best elements of Martinez's reign while adding defensive steel, or someone too similar to the man on his way out? That's for Bill Kenwright to ponder now…
