We are spending a lot of time discussing who will be the next manager now that Silva has been sacked. Perhaps though we should be discussing what are our expectations for the rest of this season from a next manager. What can Everton realistically achieve by May 2020 with the players we have from where we now start? At least then, whoever the next manager is, we can judge their performance objectively.
Everton have shown they can take on CL teams and beat them after defeating Chelsea 3-1 at Goodison in Duncan Ferguson's inspirational first game as caretaker manager. Flash in the pan or an indicator of what's been missing - a big personality with a tremendous desire to do the very best for this club? So with 22 games left, where should we be aiming to finish?
