I think part of the difficulties that are playing out, in the wider football world, in typical EFC fashion is we are not communicating our true intent particularly effectively to the outside world. Moshiri seems to make the occasional outlandish remark but then back it up very little with any kind of reform within the internal aspects of the club. He then seems to run a parallel search for a manager, and much of the detail he gives seems very private so it doesn't really change much consciousness of the club in the wider public and media.

I think that leaves other chairman a bit bewildered and then concerned as to how to justify this to their fan base. From our side it makes me wonder exactly why he is operating in this way. For an astute businessman it's clear it's far from ideal.

As for Silva, I sense he will be here 18 months. It may only be 6. Both Silva and Everton (or at least the Moshiri faction) seem to want to move their own trajectory upwards very quickly. Unless this happens for both parties at the same pace it's difficult to see that lasting beyond a medium term arrangement. I don't think it's what Everton ideally need currently, but sometimes you have to compromise before you can get to the position you ideally want to be. Koeman moved us forward, before dropping us back to square one, and I think Silva will do the same. That should allow the club to potentially reach a higher calibre of manager (ideally the long term one) next time with hopefully a handy compensation package when Silva moves on.

Could not understand the Koeman will move on shouts now you are saying the same with this man before he's even here incredible.To get a top four job in the PL you have to have a fantastic reputation over many years and seasons.

Ha Ha Ha. This is great from Watford-friendly reporter at the Mirror (apologies if already posted):

"Marco Silva has refused to commit himself to Watford beyond this weekend's home game with West Ham – and he wants owner Gino Pozzo to thrash out his future with Everton counterparts Bill Kenwright and Farhad Moshiri. Hornets godfather Pozzo has turned down two approaches from the shambling Merseysiders – who are still searching for Ronald Koeman's replacement 25 days after the Dutchman was sacked at Goodison Park.

Two offers of £10million compensation from Kenwright and Moshiri have been dismissed out of hand by Watford. But just 12 games into his two-year contract, it is increasingly evident that Silva – who has no release clause – is finding the prospect of a £4m-a-year package and a £70m transfer kitty in January too vulgar to ignore.

If Everton were to come back with a third offer, it would require a record settlement to prise the fiercely-ambitious Portugese coach away from Vicarage Road in mid-season. Facing the music for the first time since the first smoke signals from Merseyside became a choking black cloud in Hertfordshire, Silva failed to declare his unqualified loyalty to Watford time and again.

He claimed: “I am working as normal and at the moment I don't know if there has been an offer or not, or what has happened. “This is the moment for the owners to talk to each other about the situation, but Everton is not the club where I work. I can tell you Everton is a big club, nothing more.” Asked if he wanted to talk to the sickly Toffees – three wins and six defeats in 11 Premier League games – Silva was more evasive than a politician on Question Time. He said: “I don't answer this question because I read many things during the week. The media wrote that I didn't want to talk to anybody, then they said I did. What I want to do is talk with my owner, the board and my players as well, nobody else. I do my job normally, like the first day I came here.”

So this is your last match as Watford manager, then?

“Why are you sure about that? I really don't know.”



Toys well and truly thrown out of the pram. lol

If old "Thirty pieces of" does come, I really hope he uses that line about the money being too vulgar to ignore, as well as calling everyone darling, and wearing a fox fur stole. Maybe a cigarette holder too.

I'm not saying he will move mate. He is very ambitious though, and I think if a better comes he will consider it, more than most.

I want an ambitious manager here but to get to this better level he's got to do something really special here which we all want of course.If he does come and by some miracle won the Fa .cup he would become an instant legend but in terms of the elite clubs at the moment a cup win is seen as almost irrelevant look at the stick Wenger gets.All I'm saying is don't worry about elite clubs coming after him.Not for a few years.
 
He could get saked in 4 weeks....get him free then....but would we still want him then!?!

That says it all to me....he is a trendy choice.....3 months time another cool name Will he trendy.

We should just calm down for a few months.
