Next Everton Manager

[JLW]

3 FA cups in 5 years would say different. We’ve won 5 in our entire history. He’s set up teams that have outplayed Pep’s Barca in their prime (at home). He’s clearly still capable of ridiculously high levels of performance but the consistency and recruitment haven’t matched it.

He’d be our best manager since HK1 without question.

I agree with all your points, and I’m not knocking his achievements, I just think a manager coming to the end of his career closing in on 70 years of age is not what we need.

Not what he said last year when his new contract was up in the air, but don’t let facts get in the way.

Can say what he wants whilst he's Arsenal boss tbh, he's been there long enough and deserves to do or leave when he wants.

But when he leaves there, he won't be coming here for anything. He will walk away from the game or go somewhere where they throw money at him for his name but that won't be us - hundred percent.

Marco. Silva.

That's who it'll be. Everything else is pure fantasy

Can you imagine a situation where Moshiri taps up a club's manager for so long and so insistently to no avail; sees the man sacked from that club a few months later which makes him available to us on a free; then not moving for him?

I mean, if Moshiri does that - basically causing Silva's career to collapse - then leaving him high and dry, imagine what the club's reputation would be in the future if they had any other club's manager in mind and wanted to bid for them?

That makes no sense to me, and if Silva is still without a club at the end of this season I expect him delivered here as the new Everton manager.

He's won a number of domestic pots in that time like.

3 FA Cups... A team of their stature should be challenging for bigger things. At one time they were the biggest team in London. They've been left behind in the last decade.

I should think we can get him on a shorter contract now as well..so less risk

100%? Ok mate.

Cracking retort

People who are opposed to Wenger: that just underlines how far out of whack this club has become. We're basically a club sitting in rags in the gutter but some are howling down the possibility a Bentley might pull up to take us out of it because they dont think the Bentley is new enough.

You couldn't make it up.

Let's have it right: we are on the floor, and to have a manager who's built a dynasty at one place and who can still win trophies (three in the last four seasons) he would be doing us a favour by turning up here. It's highly unlikely he will, but the point stands.

While i dont doubt your assessment of Wenger those trophies were mainly down to Sanchez and players of his calibre even if Wenger was here i doubt we could attract that level of talent.

If he’s going to be Moshiri number one choice then do it now, why wait until the summer when he may get a better offer elsewhere. It gives him a couple of months to assess the squad. I have a feeling that Moshiri is not convinced anymore due to the rapid free fall that Watford when in.
I wanted him at the time now I’m not so sure myself. His style of football I like, but his results aren’t great although he has managed Hull and Watford.

I agree that this seems to be the pink elephant when it comes to Silva. If Allardyce lasts the season then surely it'll mean that Moshiri has had second thoughts about him?

Wenger's credentials as a trophy winning manger are beyond dispute. A winner for two decades.

Maybe Fonseca is his number one target (I pray it is) and Silva might be further down the list now

Megson
Pardew
Pulis
Nor necessarily in that order

Let's have all three, the unholy trinity.

Then he'd be a bigger fool than I give him credit for. Anyone can see that the Watford results were down to players deserting him and the club management distancing themselves from him.

He's the same manager that Moshiri was going after relentlessly four months back

I seem to recall a lot of talk on here about how Usmanov and Moshiri had become disillusioned with Wenger at Arsenal and Kroenke’s rigid backing was part of the reason why a rift appeared between them? If this is true, then I would have hought it highly unlikely that Moshiri would consider hiring him at Everton?

In many ways I hope it is Silva, simply because we offered millions for him when he was at Watford, if we can now get him for free but have decided we no longer want him, then that does suggest our recruitment strategy is entirely based on the ‘flavour of the month’ and that thought fills me with horror!
