The bookies front runners to replace Silva

[Carlito]

Again, it depends how ambitious the club want to be. There appears to be a gap between their rhetoric and their actions. 'All mouth and no trousers' is oft the expression.

Howe will eventually leave Bournemouth for a top six club, I am certain of it. It's likely going to be Spurs when Poch leaves because I can see that coming very soon.

He's an excellent coach but he knows, and Bournemouth know, that he's somewhat restricted at that club. Their stadium holds 11,000 people and he's taken them from League One to mid table safety in the Premier League. He's reached a point now where's built a very strong team at Bournemouth with hardly any budget. A team that, if he were to leave, would still be safe in the top flight without him. Players like Ake, Brooks, Wilson, King, Cook, Fraser, Kelly, Billing are all good young Premier League players that could have a future with CL clubs. Even Stacey and Ramsdale have looked very good.

He can certainly take the group of players forward and push them into Europe via a cup perhaps, which would be an unreal achievement. But, for me, he's done as well as he can possibly do with that club, he's taken them as far as they can possibly go without a new stadium and sustained investment (which isn't likely). It's just a case of the club riding it out and the fans enjoying it at the highest level while it lasts because they are 100% punching above their weight.

An opportunity to manage a club like Everton, with a sizeable budget, bigger expectations and a bright future. It's a project many managers would buy into. Howe would be an excellent candidate - again, if the club are prepared to back up their ambition with action.

Of the obvious England-based choices, he's the outstanding candidate. I couldn't say I'm certain that he has the personality and charisma to succeed higher up the table, but he's done more than enough to earn a crack at it.

Someone else mentioned Marcelino earlier, who I also think would be an interesting option.

Just looked at Wilder's record and he has done well at every level he has managed at, had no idea who he was before tbh. I suppose the issue would be how would our 'big' name players react to him as a coach... not that they are covering themselves in glory for our current coach anyway.

Either way it doesn't really matter, whoever it is will jsut come in and play 4-3-2-1, with ever slower patterns of play until we are all wiped out by global warming. and the nightmare finally ends.

is that 3 defensive mids in that formation haha.......jesus wept 4-2-3-1 is bad enough!!

This is the reality of it.

We’re not getting Mourinho. Not a chance.

Ouch! my feet. Well atleast I'm back down on planet earth.

I’m not sure where this comment should go, my apologies.

Silva, Brands, Morsh or whomever it is that this weeks blame game is directed at, it comes down to the players themselves.

Are we where we should be? No, not debatable.

In my opinion it’s about player character.

Drive, passion and ambition are the boxes I’d like to see checked above all else.

Yeah, yeah some smart ass on here will mention that I left out skill.

The manger does play a part but that’s just it, a part.

You need the right players.

This overhaul or rebuilding was and is going to be a process.

Digne, Mina, Richarlson, Delph and even Bernard are not final answer but there seems to be similar type of character traits being cultivated.

Which I like.

Just my two cents and my humble attempt to not add to the doom and gloom swallowing this place up.

If the height of our ambition is to appoint a manager where the highlight of his career has been to get a team promoted to the premiership, or to appoint a manager who has never managed a team in his life or to appoint a manager of a mid table Premiership team then let's just stay with Silva.

Did you not see him against Sheff Utd the other week?
Absolutely clueless with his subs. He looked lost.

Reminded of Bobby at Southampton when he didn't make any when we were getting battered. Again he didn't have a clue.

Great point.

Sacking a manager will only take us backwards. We need to fine tune our recruitment process above all else.

Nah i did and yes it was extremely frustrating.

My point is both the problem and the answer has more than one factor.

Again, trying to find some positive.

Doom and gloom market is flooded at the moment.

The bookies have absolutely no idea who would be in the running for the next Manager of Everton. It is just marketing and manipulation to make them as much money as possible.

I was coming here to post something similar.

I think Silva should be given a bit more time yet, just over one full season isn't giving him long enough to get where we want to be.
Sticking my neck out, I think that unless the wheels really come off (I know, I know...) he should get this full season. We would only get a caretaker at the moment, with no guarantee he would do any better, IMO of course.

I get your point, but following that logic Howard Kendall, then player manager of 2nd Division Blackburn rovers, wouldn't have been offered the job.

If someone is doing a fantastic job at a lower level or with a smaller team it makes no sense to rule them out of contention. Every great manager starts somewhere and Pep is very much the exception in starting at the highest level. Why not be the ckuvy that appoints the next managerial superstar?

That said, unless the wheels completely fall off then I hope Silva stays, at least till the summer when it's easier to take stock and when the choice of managers is do much greater.

Sorry just read this one after I posted mine, seems we are pretty much of like mind..

Been an Everton supporter since 1963. What we need is a top manager not someone like Eddie Howe. I don't care if they have managed the rs. We should have gone for Brendan Rogers, we could go for Benitez but i dont think that will happen. TBH i would take the ghost of Bill Shankly if he would return us to the top where we belong. NEA.
