Modern culture ruins modern football

A nonsense culture that demands instant success. Howard Kendall in '82 wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes.

The media are delighted they have their story while we once again pick up the pieces.

Utter, utter nonsense.

Marco Silva is turd, though. You wanted him to stay?

 

[Carlito]

Was Kendall in the relegation zone in December '82?

Serious question.

He’s had 18 months, numerous bad runs, and has shown nothing throughout his entire time here to suggest he’s the right man. You must be on a wind up.

I wanted Silva to do well but this wasn't the first poor run he had, leading up to Christmas last year we were horrendous. Not quite comparable to Kendall, although I agree with your sentiment.

Can't compare 1982 to now - the game has been changed irrevocably by money

If you’d posted this thread a year ago you would’ve had a point.

Agreed, You can't make a defense for Silva though.

Is it really in Everton’s case? We haven’t been relevant in a very long time. We’ve actually held onto our managers longer than other clubs. When there is this much money in the game (and at stake), of course the manager is going to be under more fire than he would have back then. Management these days is much more sophisticated than it was back then as well with all the data available at our fingertips.

We used to break transfer records quite often.

No chance of that anymore.

Kendall was on the brink. History softens this, but before the success Kendall was vilified by sections of the support.

What concerns me is the way journalists on social media go out of their way to unsettle managers and get them sacked

Both Spurs, Everton and Arsenal had journalists writing articles indicating managers should be fired before they were

Cant help but feel sadness when I see the news as it represents we have failed again. Marco seemed a decent bloke too, no hatrid but this was the correct move. Wish him well now lets get some points, performances are secondary for now and I hope the fans give the new man some slack if it means some ugly points.

We (successive boards) missed the global market audience gravy train - that is why we will never compete again in this current football format.
The lines have been drawn
