It’s incredible that we need patience to beat the crap teams at home and be able to defend setpieces.
The reasoning for their patience was given in the last sentence....which was a fair point. What do you think of that?

The top clubs have a financial advantage that ensures their position at the top. We're not a top club and the only way we will overachieve is a base built on a view of longterm success. We don't. Our position is much more tenuous. Instability is much more dangerous. Its only a few extra losses that sees you dragged into the bottom 5. This is why it's important we act if relegation looks to be a possibility, but too much instability and we will never have that base to achieve from. And there are plenty examples of what it can do to clubs our level, which is what we should be thinking ofTop clubs sack managers who underperform. It doesn't affect them. They keep going until the right manager sticks. Why should we be any different?
Nobody at this rate to be fair. Hence the Arteta shoutTop clubs used to have top managers or can attract top managers.
Who can we attract and who used to be a top manager for us?
How is he a top at anything though?Nobody at this rate to be fair. Hence the Arteta shout
Fonseca at the time of those listed [could not remember his name till now]Who was your first choice out of interest?
I just think he's an intelligent person and was an intelligent player, and has been working as no2 with pep for some time so he's a risk worth taking in my eyes comparatively to that of a bottom of the table or flavour of the month manager like we've been going forHow is he a top at anything though?
Good post mate. We're at that level of insecurity right now. It's a difficult and delicate situation.The top clubs have a financial advantage that ensures their position at the top.

Fair enough. If any ex/current Pep assistants are in contention I'd say we should go for the one at NYCFC - Dominic Torrent, but sure, in that context I'd be content with Arteta. It'd be a shame though, as - currently we're on a rough patch of managers it seems, and we can't catch a break. Tets coming in amidst this chaos won't do him any good and he defo won't leave on good terms with the club and the fans in 6 months or so.I just think he's an intelligent person and was an intelligent player, and has been working as no2 with pep for some time so he's a risk worth taking in my eyes comparatively to that of a bottom of the table or flavour of the month manager like we've been going for
Ask man utd fans, ask man city fans after they sacked pellagrini. I suppose it depends on your levels of ambition.
I agree a new manager might not improve the playing side straight away but should that halt progression? The similarities between silva and martinez are shockingly similar and this was mooted before he was appointed.
The club must dig deep this time and get in a manager who
1. Ha's proven credentials
2. Has an identity
3. Has charisma
4. Is able to adapt (proof will show from previous roles if this is the case)
5. Has achieved a level sufficient in proper leagues not mickey mouse leagues
The above is only the minimum requirement, yes the appointment would cost a fortune but I'd rather that than buying another bunch of average players.
If you or others don't agree then that's fine, we all have our own thoughts but it should all come down to the basis of what you intend to accept as OK for Everton.
We can continue to plod on the way we have papering over cracks and ending up back to square one or we can decide to send in the demolition team and build a new structure from the bottom up led by brands initially.
This would take years to achieve but I would prefer this method than the current one. Otherwise we will spend another £100 + million and more than likely be back to this point at the same time next year.
The problems run much deeper than just the first team. The whole mentality has a rotten core and it needs sorting out starting this week and beyond.
Firing Silva at this point is madness. He gets until the end of the season and then Brands can sit down with him for a review. He’s a young manager and should be given some time to learn and adapt.
The constant hiring and firing of managers is costing us a fortune and getting us nowhere.
A post that is so wrong but rightI never thought I'd say this but it was a huge mistake to get rid of Allardyce.
He's a tim CorkyA bit of fire and passion, is something that we badly need.Im not a big fan of Lennon as a person.But he is a good manager.
