Marco Silva

[blue to the bone]

One that’s not managed in this bloody country

Will you continue your boycott if we appointed a manger with Premier league experience then

 

[Sir Alan]

Seriously so worried about appointing him, I think a lot of our fans are doing what we always do try to find positives where there aren’t any, then come November we all know deep down we only wanted this new fella because he wasn’t the last fella.

Here we go again.

Have I missed something?! Everyone acting like this is a done deal. What’s giving everyone that idea?

Lots of press, including Andy Hunter saying Silva is the leading candidate

 

[Wat Tyler]

Have I missed something?! Everyone acting like this is a done deal. What’s giving everyone that idea?

Well Moshiri was willing to pay £20m to take him from Watford, Sam has been a dead man walking all year and Silva is quietly sitting on his hands waiting for the call, I’d say this has been in the works for months.

I think Jokanovic would be worth a look at from us. He is at least worth considering.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Think he’ll do a fine job, in fact I’d be surprised if he didn’t.

So we've moved from buying players from relegated/relegation-threatened clubs to seemingly appointing a manager who was recently relegated. Grand. What am I missing about Silva..

 

[Blues Harp]

Don't let the door hit you on the way out

You reckon we will win anything with silva?? We have already gone 23 years without a trophy and endured 30 years of crap board and management decisions. Why would he be a good choice for you then??

 

[MACCA75]

We seem to have gone from ultra safe, to ultra risky.

I wouldn't be too disappointed if we get Silva,he almost did the impossible and kept hull up and did pretty well at watford until we came sniffing.

His teams have no back bones and we only want him because he isn’t Allardyce

 

[Connor]

This his teams droppings their rectums with leads and getting beat is the issue mate.

Plenty want Fonseca but don’t want Silva, myself being one.

That's fair enough like. If given the option, I too would want Fonseca over Silva but I can see the positive in bringing in Silva.

Even as one of his biggest fans I can also admit he has faults in his game but he's a far more attractive than what we've got now and really what we're going to be able to attract.

We won't be attracting Simeone, Nagelsmaan, a Tuchel or a Conte for as much as we can all sit here and say 'yeah, but we're Everton, we're one of the originals' blah blah.

We have to live in the middle - live in the 'take a chance on me' zone.

We can throw what every amount of money at a situation and attempt to fix it but that won't work right now. Right now, we need patience and potential and that's what a Silva offers us.

 

[Saaby]

Although not my preferred option, people who say he took Hull down are clueless. In practice yes Hull did get relegated when he was their manager but he almost got them out of an impossible situation.

 

[tim cahill]

Well if he gets the job it’ll give us some hope for next season. He might not be perfect but he does seem to improve players and would get us playing a lot more positively than Allardyce.

 

[ultra]

If it does turn out to be Silva, at least he has had a few months to observe the train-wreck that has been our season

 

[kev101]

If it is Silva, at least he's had a good long while to suss out who we are and what we need.
