If Silva is sacked - who could/should we get?

If they had real ambition they wouldn't look to managers like Koeman and Silva as viable options. I perfectly understand that we're not gonna get an Alex Ferguson, I'd just like somebody who's better then Championship manager done good standard like the last four fools we've had have been at. At best I'll be charitable and say they've got ambition but no idea how to peruse it so they're just throwing crap at the walls hoping it's sticks, hence going from Martinez to Koeman to Rhino to BFS to Silva without any clear plan.

I feel like there was a plan with Koeman. He'd done really well with Southampton and I think most thought it was a match that made sense. A manager who had a proved himself in the league made sense for Everton and taking the step up and joining a richer club with bigger ambitions made sense for Koeman. But obviously it didn't work. The transfer "plan" was comical and Koeman didn't even try to endear himself to the fans. Almost openly treating the Everton job as the stepping stone that he blatantly saw it as. Say what you want about Klopp at the RS but he did a great job showing how much the job meant to him as soon as joined them. I know it's not easy but getting a genuinely class manager who actually seems to be really proud to be at the club would be the dream.

But once Koeman went off the rails, the club panicked and tried to get the flavour of the month. They failed and then panicked and hoped Unsworth could step up. That didn't work so they panicked and got BFS to make absolutely sure the club didn't get relegated. Then they obviously went back and got Silva now he was available.

All very well saying let Silva build his team but I've seen NOTHING, absolutely nothing this season that suggests he has the slightest clue what he's doing. In the list of our recent managerial disasters, he's the worst of the bunch and that's saying somthing. He won't be here this time next year. Even if he staggers over the line this season, he'll be gone before Christmas, he had good money to spend in the summer and has took us backwards. I had extremely limited expectations for him this season. An improved style which he's failed, passing around the back is no more entertaing then BFS hoofball. Maintain the bang average results set by BFS, again fail as we've got worse. And not be humiliated in the cups, fail. Out againt a woeful Southampton side on pens thanks to the manager arrogant team selection and then one of the worst showings from an Everton team in recent years at Millwall. He's failed on every conceivable level this season to maintain the extremely low targets a gone could of had for him. I'm up for getting a manager and sticking with him long-term but I'd like said manager to have a clue what he's doing and not be frighteningly out of his depth unlike Silva who doesn't and is.


The WORST Part of this is that it gives BFS fuel to go on and on and on about how good he was.
 
Pellegrini, on paper, hasn't got a significantly better first 11 than us. He did have an outstanding central mid in Rice, a real LB in Cresswell and Anderson in front of him against Liverpool last night. But otherwise, our current deadbeats should be superior man for man. What Pellegrini brings is authority, respect and a haul of recent managerial honours. We by contrast have never taken this approach in our managerial appointments. And our bunch of egos inflated by their undeserving price tags, it appears, show no respect to their perceived lesser managers. Cue the disinterested body language, lack of any team togetherness on pitch and half arsed performances with the chips are down.
 
Pellegrini might be a good shout as part of a temporary dream team with Frank Lampard or Arteta learning the ropes for a season or two.
Someone from the club needs to actively SELL the dreams and expectations and potential. Cliche or not, this is the official patented SLEEPING GIANT, and it's not our fans who should feel afraid, it is every other club!
 

I would normally agree with an Everton man, but then the point is that Everton men - apart from Cahill and Arteta who may or may not be good coaches - are not winners. We dont know if any of them will be able to transform our 'plucky little under achievers Everton' culture into a proper winning, ambitous , confident club culture

But on the other hand, I totally agree that it's time to play the U20 WC winners, the U23 team players, and to really test them out to see if they are hungry and ambitous. We'll still get 7th-9th place either way, may as well do it with some useful info for the future.
Maybe take a look at out upcoming games and have a rethink?

Digne is superior to Crosswell.
 
He’s not getting anything like the potential out of the players at his disposal.

Mike Bassett could get a tune out of that pool of talent.
 
Just read that Mosh has said that he is going nowhere and that it is a long term project. Is this the dreaded vote of confidence or have we got to accept that we are stuck with him. End of thread till next season?
