He was a step up from Eriksson at the time for them.

Goran-Eriksson > Hughes > Mancini > Pelegrini > Guardiola

Martinez > Koeman > Allardyce > Silva

We have basically replaced a relegation seasoned pro with a mid tabled seasoned pro, to a relegation battling seasoned pro to another relegation battling seasoned pro.

Progress and ambition right there.

This is why we will never progress.
But what level of manager could we attract? City are backed by country we are just one of many clubs with a billionaire. It depends what you want we went down the long term project route it will take time. Whilst I see the point we need a winning coach but bringing in a more experienced coach as seen with BFS is they demand experienced players and players from the EPL which is expensive and the sad truth is I am not sure the level of manager you would want would actually come to Everton. We are a rung below top level so that is the talent pool of managers who will apply or we can attract.

I agree with parts of this but we can't keep in putting barriers up as to why we can't reach the top 6. Leicester will be giving it a good go this season and they are in no position to attract better players than us. The difference is that they got Rodgers. He's a proven manager used to winning at the top end of the premier league. If Leicester do finish in the top 6, it will be due to the appointment of Rodgers. Yes, we can't attract established star players but we can attract the Richarlisons of this world. Liverpool bought Mane, Salah and Firmino who were all nowhere near the level they are at now. They were all around 30 mill and gettable I would say by teams trying for the top 6 (maybe not Salah who was at Napoli). Lets not make excuses. Success is deemed by good management and good recruitment. Both of ours is poor.....

Rodgers will inevitably extract the most out of that young squad he's got..

Whereas our players are not improving whatsoever.

It's great buying fringe players off the big clubs, but then it's down to your coach to improve them. That's what sets the good coaches apart from the crap.

I think Moyes was quite good at this, well especially implenting a plan and using the right mix of players, something silva seems devoid of.
 
While I didn’t expect us to dramatically improve in a short space of time, we have clearly regressed.

Have no clue what’s gone on behind the scenes, can only comment on what’s out there in public. We are way behind. It’s alright saying we were better with no money (personally I didn’t like the knife to a gun fight mentality surrounding that ), it’s the people making the decisions that’s the problem. We needed the money, what we didn’t need is more cases of one step forward and two or three back.

We have regressed since Moyes left.
 
I don't blame him because he puts his money on the table, but it's just not working.

Never has money wrecked a club so badly.
If he was more humble and took a careful and thoughtful approach it would be one thing. But he just seems like another of these arrogant big money owners who have flooded into the game

I do blame him because he's put us in this position.

He's like that ditzy single mum bringing home lousy fellas from the pub every other month whilst the poor kids have to get to know another "daddy" who'll be gone 6 months down the line.

He can have all the best intentions in the world but if he haphazardly appoints unqualified managers he's risking the clubs future and putting the loyal fans through crap every single weekend.
