As said on other threads focusing on the big Sam conundrum he was not on my original wish list after RK left and not what I believed as a long term option however admittedly I was not totally against him , he became our manager for reasons that has been hotly debated IMO as no one else with any decent record was available and we were in free fall which is his speciality
Therefore I gave him a chance wanting him to succeed with Everton progress as my 1st priority , also I did not despise him as a person , he made mistakes like a number of us do and he paid the price for this
He did the job he came into do I personally was very concerned about our PL status this season and I am thankful to him that we maintained this although it was not enjoyable watching our style of play
I agree He unfortunately did himself no favours and his position has become untenable , as his tenure as manager proceeded I also became increasingly frustrated by his lack of humility , not taking responsibility for defeats or poor performances and how he made no attempt to show respect for the supporters , which may I add seems to be a trend at the higher echelons at Everton
I am not convinced Silva is an ideal choice , I would prefer Emery but again this seems to be wishful thinking , however the timing of Sam leaving needs to happen sooner than later and hopefully also the DOF position being sorted with Brands at the helm
