The atmosphere at the stadium since Martinez' first season has been dour. I'm not even sure if I want to go this season, to be honest.

I have read the toing and froing on this topic and it seems you are not to be moved ,that I can admire but it doesn't mean I agree .I think we have both ends of the stick and no one wants to move so give it up as a bad job .This is the first time I've been on a football forum but am a member of several non-football forums for a number of years. One thing that I've learnt over the years is that most people aren't very good at making decisions. It may sound comical to you but then you don't know me well enough.
Some of the stats quoted by some of the knee jerkers have been interpreted in such a way to affirm their own biases. I'm very comfortable in using stats so I know when someone is talking nonsense.
Personally, I wouldn't go on what the majority say on here. Most people aren't good at making decisions and so they try to play it safe by going for what the majority say.
Poppycock Young man.
You don’t need a myriad of stats to form an opinion but I’d be interested to advise on the nonsense.
To never have come back to win a game, be in the bottom 3 after a promising run of fixtures and to have form for circling the drain after last seasons anfield defeat are not dressed up stats, they are a damming indictment of a failing coach.
Bang on. All we see - ONLY from the Silva out/chronic whingers - is complain complain complain. Not one single ounce of thought and clearly no thought-out solutions. Anyone who clamours for Moyes doesn't seem to have watched football in roughly 10 years.No doubt we are in a tricky position but it is the easiest thing in the world as supporters to come on forums and bleat about the manager not being good enough.
Before Fireman Sam we had Koeman who just picked up his wages and Martinez who looked for one season like the messiah but pretty soon stopped performing Miracles.
So you say Silva must go in a very forthright and erudite way then you must have a solution.
Because surely a ship without a Captain is even worse than one who may not be very good at it.
I say may not because when we stuffed Chelsea Arsenal and Man U at the back end of last season and finished with a game we deserved to win at Spurs he was looking pretty good to me.
Criticism without an alternative what the hell is that ?
Very very well said. There doesn't seem to be many who can look further than Halloween let alone as far into the future as 2020.I remember the days of when fans wanted Howard Kendall sacked and the noise was far deafening than that of Silva's.
It must be remembered we are a club in transition and the first goal is to build a squad. We have a long way to go due to the amount of dross we have collected since Martinez was sacked.
I am not too concerned with short term results but place a huge emphasis on being successful for the future. We can only achieve that if our squad is strong enough which it isn't.
The Brands/Silva haven't bought badly and that is their main strength if we are to progress for the future. I want Everton in the Champions League and I couldn't care less if we finish six place every season. If some of our knee jerk fans want Everton to be a sacking club based on primitive instincts then I fear the club will never achieve its ambitions of the future.
That's the very definition of kneejerk. 4 poor games in the Fall of 2019 vs what the club is trying to build for the next 5 years and beyond.After 4 defeats on the bounce, im not sure anybody can throw around knee jerk.

4 defeats on the bounce isnt knee jerk, its a major, major concern.
Im not somebody who panics or who calls for the managers head for no reason.
I havent even said we should sack him, but 4 defeats for any team should send alarm bells, I think people who want him sacked are justified in their concerns.
I mean how defeats do you think is acceptable?
I don't think any defeats are acceptable! But I'm not going to isolate 4 games over the next 5 years. I do not think Silva is without fault, far from it, but we still have yet to field a healthy midfield and truth be told have no other options in the defense our midfield right now. Now if he continues to insist on the same XI, in the same formation, deploying the same tactics, I'm with you. It's not acceptable.4 defeats on the bounce isnt knee jerk, its a major, major concern.
