Marco Silva

It is highly likely that we will appoint Silva. The fact that watford are bringing it up suggests they know we are talking to him again.

It is wishful thinking (not sure why) that we're going to get Fonseca.

Or the media have run with it because we were interested. We have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes as not a lot actually gets leaked about Everton anymore.

 

[whiteshadow]

Not convinced by Silva.

We may be jumping from the frying pan in to the fire if we appoint him.

 

[CJR]

I reckon the London factor mate, hence WHU.

Fonseca is whoring himself all over place much the same as De Boer was when we went for Koeman, spoon fed interest by the media/agents if we wanted him we would have him. We Don't.

Martinez 2.0

 

[kenada_blue]

So...Watford can refuse a payout and sack a manager then want that payout if we employ him? Could also report us to the FA and league?

Yet the RS can poach a defender illegally, admit it, and buy him months later without a hint or wrong doing?

 

[larrygobfiend]

Watford, with their track record of binning managers are now playing the victim. Hope they get relegated.

Martinez 2.0

Hope so would love to have seen what Martinez would have done with the money Koeman wasted and he'd lost the confidence of the older heads in the dressing room so Jags, Baines etc would have been out the door, Lukaku maybe stayed another season, Barkley signed a new contract.

Whatever I bet it wouldn't have been as boring as the last few seasons.

100% exactly what we are doing.

And we will be calling a firefighter to put that fire outcome the new year.

I don't get this self-flagellation thing. "Oh he won't come here, because London"..."oh he won't come here cause we don't have champions league"...Oh he won't come here cause no one knows who we are" ad nauseam.

Listen, managers, like players and anybody else in any walk of life come for wages. Period. That's why people take crap jobs. Pay 'em enough and they will come. It has nothing to do with demographics. If you want to blame anybody, blame the board for hiring incompetents.

Koeman came because of the wages, presumably it's not a stretch of the imagination that, Silva, Fonseca et al will as well. Don't BS that we can't get people, because of who or where we are. The answer is, the board just don't want to hire them. So if you don't get your choice and it goes pear shaped, well you know who to blame.

It's not very common but it does happen. Remember Giroud's wife didn't want to leave London.

And we all love her don't we

Martinez 2.0

That's what worries me.

 

[TheNinja]

The players maybe just were where they should have been in the league, maybe they were over-performing at the start, who knows. However having your head turned after 4months doesn't sit right with me, it's unprofessional.

Also unprofessional of us trying to approach a manager despite his club saying he's not leaving too... But if you can't beat 'em I suppose...

 

[davek]

That's what worries me.

You must be looking forward to 2.0 Martinez surging past our 72 point season then.

Your ‘people’ will last around 6 months max before we need another stabiliser at the club.
