Everton reject Zidane in favour of Marco Silva

[RandoEFC+]

Could do much worse than van Gaal. I've been worried for a few days that Sam might stick around after all.

[Dave]

If United is anything to go by, LVG will sell Keane, Williams, Funes Mori and then sign nobody.

[LFCMadLad]

I really hope it’s Van Gaal. 

Another over the hill dinosaur 🦕 

[Inverted]

Maybe Davy Klaassen might finally get a game.

[Cicero]

Could be a decent appointment. 

Everton did win the Youth World Cup

Who has won more trophies than 2019 league champions Liverpool in England in the last 8 years or so which isn't bad considering he was only managing over here for a couple of those years.

Or maybe Arteta 

[Dave]

A side of me thinks they want to be a top six club and Allardyce has shown enough to suggest he could potentially deliver that.

The other side of me thinks the man would leave Everton without thinking twice if he had the opportunity. So let them go for a more enticing brand of football.

[The Artful Dodger]

Almost feel sorry for Allardyce now...

Really hope Silva does well if it's him.

I'm more in the Silva camp and think he may do well. What are his strengths from watching him manage Hull?

When I say his main strength is 'organisation' you're probably going to have negative connotations because you think of Allardyce et al but he was fantastic at getting us playing on the front foot with a defined role for each player. He's no Klopp in terms of his mindset but neither is he a mourinho, brought a real belief to what was a piss poor squad.

There was a clear gap between our home form and away form, where he tended to be more conservative and it is something he'll need to improve at with Everton. Then again he will have better players to play with. He made an impression very quickly with us.

[Panna King]

Quite funny how some ex players have said they like to see Arteta be the Everton manager but not yet as he has no experience, but he is the favourite for the Arsenal job 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Fat Sam's departure is pretty much confirmed with Paul Joyce reporting on it. He's about as trustworthy as you get with news on Merseyside clubs.

[Smiley Culture]

For a club who have openly talked about ambition in the past and spent a large amount last summer, in January and I presume this summer too, sacking Allardyce and replacing him with a fraud who was sacked by Watford and Hull is a terrible move, IMO. 

 

 

[RandoEFC+]

No doubt we'll do an Everton and end up spending 3 weeks dicking around trying to reduce the pay off by £200,000

[Dave]

Seems on the cards again. Watford have now made an official complaint against Everton to the Premier League over the alleged tapping up.

[Danny]

Don't know what good the complaint will do but at least they're trying lol.

Bad for Allardyce, fucked over by the club but I can't feel sorry for a man on his wages.

[Marc]

Gone and hopefully out of football forever.

silva would be underwhelming

[SirBalon]

Why he was employed by a club like Everton is beyond me. What's way to just stagnate things instead of looking to advance... I don't think there was ever any danger of going down for the club which makes the whole appointment even more absurd.

Anyway... Hopefully Everton fans can see someone well thought out in what's needed for the club to move forward once again.

[Storts]

So basically they regret not taking the huge amount on offer early in the season and are now trying to get it despite turning it down.

[Smiley Culture]

Massive fraud who was sacked at Watford and Hull. His defensive record in the Premier League is abysmal. Granted he was managing the two teams listed above but he’s nowhere near as good as he’s cracked up to be.

You don’t see twice relegated Marco Silva as well thought out?

Haha Obviously not!

There is no reason why Everton can't get a progressive coach due to the direction the club are going as a brand though.

The problem any new manager has is he’s going to have to absolutely gut the whole squad and start again. Maybe 3 or 4 players at a push are good enough, but that’s it. It could take 3 or 4 transfer windows to sort that mess out and by that time they will probably have been sacked anyway as Moshiri seems a little trigger happy.
