….he appointed the Managers.
Going over old ground but everyones a genius with the benefit of hindsight.
Koeman had Southampton 5th/6th in the table playing good attacking football which most Evertonians were pleased with the appointment.
Silva was a "young progressive" manager which our fans constantly cry out for and was 50/50 with the fans at the beginning similar to Lampard.
Alladyce was brought in to do a short term job and done it well
Ancelotti is one of the greatest managers of all time and 95% fans loved him.
Lampard was also the favourite candidate available with the fans.
Benitez aside (who the cultists in the fanbase couldn't take to) his hirings haven't been near as bad on paper as some make out.
Walsh screwed Koeman by selling Lukaku and not replacing him.
Brands screwed Silva by selling Gana / losing Zouma and not replacing either + signing Kean instead of an experienced CF to lead the line which we drastically needed.
Recruitment has killed us and the DOF's + scouting department take the bulk of the blame for that with the medical department not too far behind when we consistently have large amounts of injuries.
