It's perfectly fine to doubt this guy. I have my doubts myself. But to claim you'd prefer Allardyce is idiotic in the extreme and shows a complete lack of understanding of football and more importantly a complete lack of respect for what Everton stands for as a club.

It's madness mate madness that some lunatics want fat Sam never mind wanting him over silva!
 
I'll stick my neck out and say I would be very happy with this appointment.

It's a risk of course, but there isn't a manager in the world who wouldn't be. I'm slightly concerned by the fact his PL teams have conceded a fair few goals, and the lack of longevity in his roles is not ideal, but he seems like a good coach, which is what I think we need more than anything. His Watford side look well drilled and play good football (i'm ignoring the collapse against us because I honestly think that was 90% down to the enforced change of keeper) and some players who I know to be average have looked better under him both at Hull and Watford than they have at other times in their career. That to me is the sign of a good manager.

Who knows what will happen, and there's obviously a possibility this will be getting vaulted in May, but this would be an appointment that restored my confidence that we have the right sort of ambition. He looks like a good fit to me.
 

It does reek a bit of Martinez, those comparisons will be made by a few people.

Both been relegated, both young and seemingly flamboyant.

let's hope he has more of an idea of the game in general instead of just offensive tactics.
 
Yeah, it would be a risky appointment, but at least there's a sniff of ambition if we appoint Silva. A Big Sam or Dyche style appointment is the safe option, but would probably lead to mid-table mediocrity at best.

He did get a tune out of Hull, so he does have a history of polishing turds.
 
Difficult to win with any appointment other than getting one of the best managers in the world. If we’d just swooped on Silva straight from Porto then we’d all probably be made up. Because he’s done a small stint in the prem though he’s a more known quantity and is therefore seen as not as exciting by some. Interestingly she showed his team to be very solid at Hull but quite expansive at Watford. His Home record regardless of where he has been is excellent though.

Managerial career[edit]
Estoril[edit]
On 10 June 2011, immediately after retiring, Silva was appointed director of football at Estoril. However, early into the season, he replaced Vinícius Eutrópio as manager,[6] with the Cascais team ranking tenth in the second tier.[7] His first game in charge was a 1–3 defeat at Penafiel,[8] and, after losing only three matches in 24, he helped the club return to the top flight after seven years, as champions.[9] He ultimately was chosen the league's Manager of the Year.[10]

Silva made his debut in the Portuguese top division on 17 August 2012, in a 1–2 away defeat to S.C. Olhanense.[11] Estoril overachieved for a second best-ever fifth place in the table, with the subsequent qualification to the UEFA Europa League, also a first. Highlights included not losing any of the games against Sporting Clube de Portugal (3–1 at home, 2–2 away[12]), and drawing at S.L. Benfica 1–1.[13]

On 23 February 2014, Estoril achieved an historic first time win at the Estádio do Dragão, the 1–0 victory being FC Porto's first home defeat since the 2–3 against Leixões S.C. in 2008.[14] He left his position on 12 May, after leading his team to the fourth position.[15]

Sporting[edit]
Silva agreed to a four-year contract with Sporting on 21 May 2014, replacing Leonardo Jardim who left for AS Monaco FC.[16] He led the club to the third place in the championship, also winning the Taça de Portugal by beating S.C. Braga 3–1 on penalties after a 2–2 draw in the final.[17] This was Sporting's first piece of silverware since the 2008 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.

On 4 June 2015, four days after winning the trophy, Sporting announced that Silva had been sacked with just cause,[18][19] for not wearing the club's official suit in a cup match against F.C. Vizela.[20]

Olympiacos[edit]
On 8 July 2015, Silva was appointed the successor of countryman Vítor Pereira at Olympiacos FC, signing on a two-year contract.[21] His first competitive game occurred in the season opener in the Superleague Greece, won 3–0 against Panionios FC. On 17 September, he played his first UEFA Champions League match with his new club, losing 0–3 at home to FC Bayern Munich.[22]

Silva subsequently guided the team to break the record of 11 consecutive league wins from the first matchday,[23][24] also recording a 3–2 success at Arsenal in the Champions League group stage.[25] The Piraeus side's run of domestic wins ended at 17, a European record in the 21st century,[26] but they nonetheless won a record 43rd title with six games remaining.[27]

Silva quit his job on 23 June 2016, alleging personal reasons.[28]


to be fair I knew he was a highly thought of manager but after reading that you cant help but be impressed, he has done some seriously impressive work already and he's still on 40, so much rather him than fat sam or dyche

Eloquently put.

His Watford side refused to roll over against the RS at the beginning of the season.
Something we blues fans crave.
