You could argue that Silva has developed from his experiences, so therefore retaining him may have not been the right decision at the time.
None of them.
They ALL deserved to be sacked when they were - Benitez stayed far too long.
The only one you could have an argument for was Silva but he looked out of his depth at Everton, ultimately. As @ToffeeTim said, though, he was failed by Brands. Like how Lampard has been failed by Thelwell already.
Lampard, if he goes now, also deserves it. But he's not been helped.

I was going to say Silva but at near halfway point of 19/20 he had a pretty decent team in 18th with upcoming games v Chelsea, Man. United and Arsenal so it was the right call for that time.
Can only assume given Ancelotti was at Napoli for 2-3 seasons everyone just thought his time managing CL elite clubs was done and he was happy to start a serious project a little lower down the league and I thought similar.
His sudden departure sadly produced a catastrophic decision and it still lingers 18 months on with the worst yet to come.

I would have given him another season.
Just to steady the ship.

Fat Sam, the rest all had to go.
There's also the case for the people appointing the managers / players. Yet it's usually the manager and occasionally the DOF who get binned.
Yeah again it’s on the board there. No back up plan and all our eggs in Ancelotti’s basket.
I also think we overinvested given everything that’s happened since and I wonder if we encouraged him to leave so we can move players on and lower the wage bill.

Martinez had just finished 11th consecutively.
Given he was following Moyes and how good his first season was that was a massive disappointment so different expectations in those days to now.
Most unlucky by a mile imo was Koeman. Excellent first season and then one of the most bizarre transfer strategies seen from a top half prem club. Sell Lukaku and replace him with endless midfielders and gambles upfront (Sandro Ramirez, Klassen etc). Rooney did his best and think he got to double figures bur everyone could see he was like Ronaldo upfront at that stage and indeed had spent the previous season playing in central midfield for Man. United and England.
I'd have personally given Koeman until xmas of that season like all the other managers as I think he'd have scrambled a few wins and got things back on track, Unsworth did in his comical spell so wasn't impossible task.
