2019/20 Marco Silva

[nsno-chris]

Most people work five days a week. Therefore, most people get two days off per week....

but football isn't work

Imo he has at the very latest the Derby game - there is no way he gets the Chelsea match at Goodison the atmosphere will be toxic.

I can see a 4/5 nil hammering in the derby being his final game.

Whereas the club should let Royle take charge for the derby - get the lads right up for it.

Two "expected defeats" there so that's a free pass for him. No doubt those defeats will be accepted in each of our next five games before the board realise action needs to be taken.

If he loses Sunday he’s gone, If he wins does he stay?

 

[Everton19]

Absolute joke.

Looks made up

As much as I love Big Joe, there's about 2 players at the club who will even know who he is. (Rightly or wrongly)

I love how these self proclaiming twitter itk's make statements without backing it up with any information and source whatsoever and the worse thing is that many of the articles you see posted in the main stream media and tabloids have often come from lazy repeating journos who are reading social media as insane as that may sound.

Yeah but most people don't get paid £60k a week for those 5 days. If I ended the week, on Friday with a catastrophe, I would come in Saturday to rectify it.

Yep, although there's a lot of evidence suggesting you should take a step back, try and relax for a day or two, then approach the problem with a fresh mind.

I get that he's paid a huge amount but he's still human after all. The pressure he is under at the moment mixed with working himself to death ain't going to help him or us.

The kind of fatalistic thinking you describe is very close to what I imagine goes on at the club and what annoys me beyond belief.

To use Brian Coughs adage they make the very simple look very complicated. If Brands has a list and they are all unavailable the Chairman of the board should pose that very question to him. Is your list realistic? Why will they be available in 6 months? Is there someone who currently is available who could do a better job than the current manager?

If the answer remains no, then the collective decision surely has to be that they back Marco Silva and get on a charm offensive.

The reality is, these discussions should have been taking place 2 months ago and a conclusion ought to have been reached. They've stuck with with Silva but none of them have either the integrity or the bravery to have put a supportive word in to help reduce some of the pressure on him and share the burden.

What we are left with is this mixture of reactive practice mixed with cowardice from the board. Of people just throwing problems in and no emphasis being placed upon finding a solution, however imperfect that may be.

It may be easier to recruit in 6 months, but not drastically so.

Take Moyes for example. If he's good enough for 6 months, he ought to be good enough for 3 years. If he's not good enough for 3 years, why would you have him for 6 months?

We are led to believe Kenwright wants him, if thats the case why isn't he good enough for 3 years?

Going through managers like confetti (if we go the interim route it would be 6 in 4 years) is not working for the club.

Fair comment, and close to what is happening. Its no good for the board to simply say 'we have ambition' ,that's just words, they need to back it up with action. Mosh has done this to some extent by putting his money were his mouth is, and I'm beginning to think less of Brands than I did. some of his signings are injury prone or not ready to play when they're signed, and now he's playing the same game with his potential manager list, saying that none are currently available. Its as if his playing a game using Mosh's money and he is very rarely winning. It all gets very cushy when you get a seat on the board,you can afford to leave the manager short of a striker and a centre back and not have a new manager waiting in the wings. So to some extent I'm beginning to agree with davek about Brands. There are obvious flaws in Silvas ability(the Kean saga for example...the lad should be given a run) but Brands is answerable as well. He has performed far from well. We need to show proper ambition....we are supposedly a big club...I never wanted Mourhino, but we should certainly be talking to Poch at least,remembering that despite people thinking 'he'd not come to Everton' or whatever, football managers are just like players in that 'money talks' with them. If Poch wasn't on Brands list, his list is inadaquet. It seems our ambition is actually being hamstrung by the 'project' which isn't the way it should be. Our first purpose should always be to win as many matches as possible NOW.

If he loses Sunday he’s gone, If he wins does he stay?

That’s the big question isn’t it if he gets anything from these 2 games and they have a new manager ready what are they going to do sack him anyway or say to the new fella nah it’s alright lad we don’t need you now.

 

[matty1878]

I know mate madness lol

 

[andy4efc]

By the same token you can’t compare United Chelsea and Arsenal now to the teams Moyes had to face: Ferguson’s United, Wenger’s invincibles, Chelsea under Mourinho and Ancelotti.

Right but many of Moyes' meeting against Spurs were when we were at a similar level, same with City.

Now we've been at a lower level than all six. Regardless of whether you think United, Arsenal are underperforming if that makes sense.

Imagine your boss said your getting let go in a few days, but before you go could you sort this very important bit of work out before we pull the trigger and get your replacement in?

The whole club is so amateur it’s untrue.

 

[Kenshin]

If he loses Sunday he’s gone, If he wins does he stay?

Probably.

Which tells you that the club is basing keeping him in a job with individual results rather than overall form.

As depressing as that is. We win Sunday and maybe he turns things around, writing the next two off as expected losses and try again after Chelsea
