Match Thread Everton v Tottenham Hotspur - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[kev]

well the last 3 have all been made by an accountant who supported arsenal 3 years ago, so is very unsurprising

and if @BigBlueNose was making the decisions our manager would be . . . . . . . . ?

 

[ToffeeDan]

Not that Silva is going anywhere (nor should he), but for the sake of argument say that he was. We'd probably go after a washed up Mourinho and once he predictably fails wonder where it all went wrong again. Look at how well Hasenhuttl is doing at Southampton. We're scared to take risks and always go for the PL proven safe bets.

Ah yes.. We don't go for the serial winners.. Walter? Don't make me laugh.. Silva is decent but, unlike Clough, Robson.. Not a winner

tough call which is why we have a footballing director to make these decisions..

it a world game, and I just don't follow enough football worldwide to know who is doing well.

I did mention the leizpig fella last year, who has just gone to southmapton. he has started really well, but that could just be new manager bounce as it were, will be interesting to see if he can keep it going.

 

[Tipp blue]

I see it that management appointments nowadays especially for us just seem to be a flip of a coin praying it will come up heads, sadly and true to our recent history we seem to have another tails in the making here.

It's a double tail coin.

Walter has won more trophies than any Everton manager! Not at Everton, but stil....

But basically you are saying sack Silva and appoint someone who is "doing well" and presumably as soon as they aren't doing well you would sack them and be back at square one.
IMO any manager should be given at least 3 full seasons to see if they can start "doing well"
I have no doubt that had you been in charge Howard Kendall would have been sacked long before he started "doing well"

I think you might of cracked it there mate.

if that's the case we will be looking at league one managers going the rate we are.

marcel brand has been appointed for this... like I say I do not follow world football im too busy slating marco silva on here.

they are out there. poch was plucked from relative obscurity.. they do exist, just because I cant name managers capable of turning us round doesn't mean they aren't out there

just aslong as Moshiri has no say this time.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Just got back now from the game, absolute shambles, haven't got a clue what the game plan was, the amount of space we allowed them was criminal. Also, can anyone in our team actually pass a ball? The amount of balls played through/over the top that went to no one was laughable.

People walking out after 61 mins, stadium was half full by the final whistle. What a Christmas present.

 

[Groucho]

doing some real research and finding a credible manager who will actually come in and improve the club as a whole, esp the team. one that can work with and bring on youth teamers, with a proven track record, someone who has a certified winners mentality. someone who has faced adversity at a club previously and worked his way through it.

they are out there. it will be down to our footballing director to find them.

That’s Brands’ job. Do you want him to fire every manager at Xmas?

if they are underperforming and have us bottom of the form table then yes , most definitely.

Watford felt the need to sack him exactly this time last year.. he has form..

So who do you suggest?

 

[BigBlueConk]

Complete disgrace. They should not be paid.

The reality is that we are 3 seasons and 200M behind Spurs.

The only way we can beat them is to swap squads.

All you top 4 dreamers, dream on lads.

like ive said in another thread, im not up to date as to who is doing well in world football.

that decision is down to our technical director, employed to make such decisions, I have every faith in him to chose the correct manager for our club, so long as the Iranian accountant doesn't poke his nose in, then im happy with whoever gets the nod.

silva was forced on to brands as Moshiri had made such a dance for him this time last year. in no way do I see silva as a barnds manager. not with such an appalling record

So you’d sack Silva after 21 games?
