You can only have managerial stability if you have the right manager. Spurs changed their manager lots until they signed Poch. Sticking with the wrong appointment also does damage. If this is the guy Moshiri wants then he should go get him. Walsh and Big Sam haven't shown anything to suggest they are the long term answer, in fact even without Silva the ironic cheers yesterday suggested their time was coming to a close.

I've taken the view that Moshiri has 18 months to do this right...if I fail to see a serious plan or direction in that time then I have to question the time I spend myself thinking about this stuff.

Don't spout Mourinho and Simeone and then come with Silva.

18 months...tick-tock.
 
No, I would rather give Eddie Howe a go, plays good football, is young, hasn't been relegated, has a promotion from the good standard Championship, why isn't he preferable over Silva? Is it because he's English and therefore considered a tactical dinosaur? I mean it would be terribly foolish of British managers to study the game and learn different tactics/coaching methods wouldn't it.
 

Not really but it would be funny if they wanted Sam - mostly on a revenge trip - and paid us compo.

Interesting that, outside the top 6 only the promoted teams (being more patient?), Burnley (Dyche) and Bournemouth (Howe) have the same manager as the end of last season. Some are on their third pick from last May.

Hard to tell if he’s good or not now. Don’t think we can judge him on his last couple of months at Watford. He clearly spat the dummy out when they blocked our move.

Which he should be judged on as unprofessional wouldn't you say, jumping at the first better offer, do we want someone like that, especially as he isn't all that in the first place.

The more i think about it the more i don't want the mercenary.

No. It would make us look to be in an even bigger state than we are.

Hiring and firing on that scale would make Moshiri look like Jesus Gill.

And Silva has failed his audition spectacularly.

Not now, nor in the summer.

I think it's a bit harsh mate. As soon as Watford reused to let him go he was finished there. The players threw him under the bus like they did Flores and Mazzarri before him.

He was never my number 1 choice, I'd have wanted Tuchel, but his record is very commendable, has experience of the league, a young progressive coach who seems to fit our profile. I worry that we will end up going for another top manager and be left with an Allardyce.

Lets be clear here, for all of the good spoken of Allardyce, it should be clear now, if we have any serious ambition of improving on 7th he looks the wrong manager week on week.

I think there's a compromise here, which is you open a dialogue with Silva, pre-emptively for the summer. It's very hard on Allardyce but it's what ruthless teams do. He has 14 games to radically overhaul his and the players performance if he wants to be given the job full time.

Whichever way you look at it -- effect from Everton approach or not -- he has shown himself not to be the management genius that the media made him out to be. I think we should be drawing up a shortlist of long-term candidates and get it all sorted in the summer, before pre-season.

Sorry I think you must have the wrong team.
We seem inept in all areas and decision making especially forward thinking are things of fantasy and for properly run football teams.
