But we're not appointing Ferguson. What we're doing is not tolerating overwhelming failure.
I can't for the life of me understand how any Evertonian could have a problem with the sacking of Silva. It's... weird.
You might want to sit down right now.
But he gets a multi million pound payout, from the club, for being awful at his job.
Silva is proven failure over 18 months. Ferguson isn't.
There was no point persisting with a proven failure.
Ferguson is a caretaker, nothing more. Its doing something rather than nothing.
In reality, Silva should have been sacked in the summer.

I have to admit to feeling a little sad tonight.
Silva had to go for sure but I genuinely believe he is a decent chap who was trying his best for our great club. Ultimately, his best was nowhere near good enough.
Compare tonight with the euphoria that greeted Koeman's sacking and the end of Bisto Boy's horrible association with us and I hope you'll see what I mean.
I wish Marco well wherever he ends up and I hope, for his sake, it's not back at the joke of a club known as Watford.
He had the notoriously difficult January window to reshape the dross into an attacking outfit seems to be your logic.Successful? Sam had the same average points return as Unsworth, we were smashed by both Spurs and Arsenal by 4 goals and we got kicked out of the FA cup in the first round. And that is just the results - the football itself was even worse!
We were safe by Christmas and Sam got the rest of the season to see if he could be anything more than he had shown in any of his previous long career - he instead wanted to settle for draws against the mighty Swansea and Watford.
Even if that point is the Championship??Football is still meant to be vaguely entertaining at some point.
Who does he play for?Keane, a really good defender
I've really got under your skin haven't I lad?
