Everton owner to axe Silva and wants inspirational Champ boss

Everton owner Farhad Moshiri wants to dismiss Marco Silva and appoint Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa as his replacement, according to reports on Sunday.

The Toffees are in a disappointing run of form and lost 1-0 at Watford on Saturday to sit ninth in the Premier League – and only nine points clear of 18th-placed Southampton.

While Moshiri publicly backed Silva last month, he did, however, admit that results this season have not been good enough and he expected more given the £90million transfer backing he gave the Portuguese coach over the summer.

Since then, Everton have lost five of their last six to heap the pressure on Silva and leave his position hanging by a knife-edge.

And according to an exclusive in the Sunday Mirror, Moshiri wants to axe Silva and appoint Leeds boss Bielsa as his replacement, having been impressed with the job the Argentine has done at Elland Road.

Leeds currently top the Championship and are firmly in the mix for a return to the Premier League after a 15-year stint in the lower leagues.

Bielsa is revered in coaching circles, with Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola a ‘disciple’ of his style and legendary attention to detail.

Guardiola is on record calling the Argentinian “the best coach in the world”, while Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is another confirmed admirer.

However, Leeds should not feel too alarmed by the link, with Bielsa admitting he’s at Elland Road for the challenge of stirring the sleeping giant rather than for the money.

The Argentine is reportedly paid £2million a year by Leeds and while he could comfortably earn more at Goodison, he’s highly unlikely to jump ship at this stage of the season.

Bielsa has also admitted in the past he would not move clubs mid-season with much of his success down the preparation he does for each job and each team; a move at this stage would go against his principles and the in-depth way in which he works.

The Leeds boss remains at the centre of the Spygate investigation from the EFL after Bielsa admitted to watching the training sessions of all the club’s opponents this season, though he explained why that only accounts for 5% of his preparation work for each game with this incredible and impassioned defence.

Anyone Moshiri prefers is a definite NO
 
Silva has been in the job for 8 months and 10 days since he was appointed on 31st May 2018, but whose counting! Team has regressed from last season despite adding Richarlison, Mina, Gomes, Digne and Zouma.

Time to go, Silva has failed. I get all this you cant keep sacking managers but this goes back to poor recruitment of them in the 1st place! Next one is vital and it needs to be right....... Silva was never right, just a whim of a Billionaire owner, leave it to the football people Farhad.......

I don't understand the point of people saying they think the manager is awful, but we need to keep him.

If your washing machine breaks do you just keep it and hope for the best. Maybe it will work and not ruin the clothes once a month.

Change is hard. But it's inevitable. Suck it up and move on.

I know where you are coming from mate and I am quickly losing faith in him. But, apart from wanting a period of continuity there are 2 reasons why I voted "IN".

Firstly, in the last 2 games I have seen an improvement in the players attitude and commitment. Even yesterdays game, if we take the emotions out and look at it logically, we were the better team and at least deserved a draw out of the game. Compare that to the reverse fixture in early December when we deserved to be on the wrong end of a hammering, or indeed the game against Wolves last weekend and the Southampton game the week before.

Secondly, I also think there could be a swift turn around in results (if not performances) if he just did away with his stubborn belief in zonal marking, coupled with giving away stupid free kicks in dangerous areas. If he persists with this, which seems likely, then he needs to go.

How’s that better we got 0 point from these fixtures?

He won’t change and persist. If he is to change why should he wait until mid Feb to ring a change?

If you are classing the city game and yesterday’s performances as signs of improvement, god help us.

There is zero chance of him binning zonal marking.

And I don't think we played well at all yesterday. We didn't create anything till the last few minutes. We were always suspect defensively. Our keeper was a bundle of nerves. We got out worked all over the pitch again.

I see no upturn in results unless you see 7 or 8 points from 11 games as an improvement.

You do realise that betting websites and guff like Sporf, Sport Bible and that post stuff for likes. Most sensible fans take the 'humour' with aplomb, then you have the likes of you and the kopites who cry arse about it and act like it's a personal stab.

I'm sorry but that's an absolutely ridiculous comment. Of course you can lose games in different fashions. The end result may be the same but if you can't see the difference there's no point discussing it with you.

I agree the chances are he won't change, in which case the poor results will continue until his position becomes untenable. But if he does change then we'll see a very quick turnaround in results IMO. At the moment the balls in his court but it won't be much longer if he persists.
