No he was a very good keeper at sunderland too hence his high transfer fee

It is, in my opinion, a bit ‘pie in the sky’ to expect Silva to bring in Tony Bellew in some assistant capacity.
If the Big Dunc, Tony, and Capt Jags ‘dream team’ appointment has any chance of flying, I think it’ll be stand-alone from any foreigner getting the job. And before anyone gets the ‘ump, I am not referencing any Brexit gumph with that assertion: merely opining that, since any new manager usually comes with his own ‘team’ of assistants, he or she might be loath to work with people he or she is unfamiliar with. However, as we have seen with Big Dunc, it has been a condition of any appointment, that Big Dunc be on the coaching team. Perhaps Blue Bill will insist on a similar contractual condition for Tony and Capt Jags. With Usmanov coming on board, and his likely impact on the work of EITC, perhaps Bill sees this as a way of ‘fireproofing’ the future.

After several pints with a proper ITK today sitting in the lovely early summer sun, I can state that a deal was hatched many months ago which explains why no other club has snatched him up and why he has kept a relatively low profile since he left Watford. He was struggling with the Watford board long before our approach and wanted to come to Everton then and now, any day now as I understand it. Hic!

Got a sneaky feeling that Unsie will get the Assistant Manager job under Silva. Was surprised when he turned the Oxford Utd job down a couple of months back. Perhaps the club have been planning for this moment longer than we realised?

This was mentioned earlier in the thread. I think the sticking point with that possible appointment is that he’s not really ‘in to’ all that EITC stuff ...I believe Blue Bill and Capt Jags were, in the absence of clarity on this issue, reluctant to green light ‘Uzzies’ appointment.

..I think I read somewhere that Silva always takes the same backroom staff with him. Be interesting if that’s the case with us.

Would think Brands would have a say in these sorts of appointments too

I suspect you are not the only one on here who gets that sneaky feeling. Trying to decipher the byzantine machinations of our Machiavellian Board is not uncommon pursuit here on GOT

I can’t see Usmanov settling for an assistant manager role...too big an ego, I suspect
