Pereira: "I think this [#EFC] is a historical club. I'm not the manager, but I think the first decision as a manager in the club is to bring the organisation, the way to press, the intense game that I saw a few years ago in Goodison Park."
Pereira: "What I felt from the club? I felt they were enthusiastic for what I proposed to them. An intense game, a pressing game, a game with possession. We need to give confidence again to the team, to approach the fantastic supporters again."
Pereira tells Sky Sports there are "other candidates" and "this is the time for decisions"
Pereira tells Sky: "What we talk about in interviews we keep with us. What I can say to you was that the feedback was a good feedback."
Pereria talks to Sky Sports about the graffiti: "This is the first time in my career that I see this kind of thing. I have my CV, my CV speaks for itself. The club is not in a good position and the supporters have passion, this passion is the power of this club."
More on this to Sky Sports: "I don't take this as a personal attack."
Pereria continues on Sky Sports: "This is something that I cannot control. What I want to tell you is that all of my career, I worked under pressure. About the decision? It's something I can't control."
Pereria tells Sky Sports he is still interested in the #EFC vacancy "of course"
Pereira is asked by Sky Sports about the January transfer window: "I cannot speak as a manager, because I'm not the manager. I can't speak about this because I'm not the manager."
Pereira's message to Everton fans: "All my career, I build my career with passion, organisation, competence. This is what I can offer to the club. I give 100% of me, football for me is 24 hours. This is my life, my passion."
He continues: "I will move forward with my life. If they want me, they must call me. That's all."
When I said earlier in the week on the Royal Blue Podcast that there'd be loads of twists and turns, I didn't see this coming I won't lie
In all seriousness, that was an absolute farce. You can't be having a managerial candidate going completely rogue in the middle of an interview process
