No Tim the inability, as yet, of Brands/Everton to attract a better, infinitely more suitable manager is stopping him sack Silva.His ego is stopping him sack the manager.
Silva, unless he's clinically insane, will know his time as manager of Everton is strictly limited, possibly on a game by game basis while his replacement is secured.
Silvas' only and it must be a microscopic hope, is that he gets as far as the Carabao Cup tie v Leicester and somehow we beat them to make the semi-final.
Irrespective of all of this, the moment Brands - and he is truly in the spotlight now - confirms he's found the man he believes to be right for the job, Silva will surely be gone.
There is no conceivable reason to retain him any longer other than the time it takes to replace him... and Brands is now well behind the 8-ball, he has to deliver !
