His ego is stopping him sack the manager.

No Tim the inability, as yet, of Brands/Everton to attract a better, infinitely more suitable manager is stopping him sack Silva.

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 !

 

[orly]

He's essentially killed the club

 

[AndyC]

What does 'well on the way to approval' mean?

When can we begin to expect prep work and declarations?

What part of preparatory work cannot begin until planning permission is approved don't you understand ?

I'm yet to see any evidence that Brands will be responsible for the hiring and firing of managers.

We just kind of assume he will be responsible. But I have serious doubts. The reluctance to sack Silva smacks of Moshiri refusing to remove a man he fought tooth and nail to bring in. It would be an open admission he got the wrong man.

Lets be fair here Orlyfrand, the club has been a walking zombie since 1995

How long have we been mooting BMD?

The only question I'd ask Andy, is why hasn't the preparation been being done far earlier? Sheffield United at home was a big red flag for me.

 

[dannyboy]

Embarrassing that the only reason Silva is still our manager is because they're out of ideas on what to do next. They know the backlash they'll face from Hughes or Moyes appointment but it's all they have to offer.

This. If the board haven't been working on plans when it was going badly then they all need sacking.

No it wasn't ffs. It was a club with an identity and a purpose. What is it now?

Like Stockholm Syndrome with Moshiri for some.

Identity or not we still haven't won a jot in what will be a quarter of a century come May, meanwhile we've seen City, Spurs and Chelsea all bypass us in the league and seen Leicester, Birmingham and Wigan win trophies. We've gone from the team everyone expects to be in the dogfight, to the dark horses for the top 4 to big spending nothingness. We are simply that team, just a team

Diego Simeone can answer all our prayers...trust me he'll deliver to Everton Football Club if we can get this baby through the door...

Just the 35m a year salary as the only minor stumbling point.

The financial aspect has already been explained in the Gylfi thread mate....

You could suggest the capitulation at Millwall last season was the first big red flag... Villa away spoke volumes too.

Brands is now the one in the spotlight, he’s got to deliver a credible alternative and quickly.
