Marco Silva

At least Roberto and Koeman were proven managers in this league. Silva has a relegation and a sacking as his CV and Fonseca has never even been here.

But hiring British managers is unfashionable nowadays, as is earning a good team through good management. Everyone just wants to spend the way to success
And yet you want Moyes who has two sackings and a relegation on his cv?
 
The funniest part about this is we have our fanbase arguing over 2 managers who are far more similar than people realize not just stylistically but career paths.

Both started in the lower tiers of Portugal, both had success with smaller clubs, both had opportunities at big clubs in portugal but didn't live up to expectancy, both moved to inferior leagues for the main powerhouse in that country (Olympiakos and Shakhtar) resulting in both winning easy titles.

Both play 4231 with the focus being on pressing and flair with the ball in attacking area's.

Difference is one's the flavour of the month like Vitor Pereira was and the others seen as "another martinez" because of his history so far in England, which doesn't hold up anyway as his season with Hull had it been a full season would have finished around 12th in the league and at the point of being sacked by Watford even after not winning for a long period they were still 10th. That loss of form also happened to be the same time they had 13 players injured most of them first teamers, do people not remember the home watford game where they were comfortably beating us till 2 players got injured in the 2nd half one being Gomes in goal who was having a good game.

I just find it funny how both are very similar yet because ones still that exciting untested in england foriegner people will jump all over the bandwagon compared to a manager whose overperformed with a team of misfits at Hull, and had Watford flying at the beginning of this season (the same watford who even after he left and got players fit again have continually got worse)
 

He also won a FA Cup and been in the league for years

He also took to teams that had finished top half the season before he took them over and in the space of two seasons had them looking over their shoulder at the relagation zone. Eventually getting one of them relagated.

Martinez was a horrendous manager
 
If you get Silva, I think its a very positive move. If he could speak German, I wouldn't have minded if Dortmund had shown some interest.
I think people are overstating too much what went on in the premier league with him. That Hull team was never surviving the drop, he actually did a really good job with them. And last season of course everyone knows what happened there! His whole career apart form that has been very positive. He is clearly a very good coach who tries to coach football the right way.
 
The players at West Ham wanted him to stay, and the players here always ran through walls when he was here

Couldn't hack working with a far more talented squad of players at United who downed tools massively on him, couldn't handle a worse group in another country and failed to stop Sunderland sliding into the Championship
 
I'll get behind Silva, but I've got the same feeling I had with Koeman when it was between him and Emery, I felt like he was a good option but not right for us and it wouldnt work out. I feel the same with Silva and Fonseca. I feel Fonseca is the right choice not Silva, I think with Silva we'll be in a relegation battle by Christmas unless we seriously strengthen and even then I'm not sure. The same could very well happen with Fonseca like, and I'm only basing this on the same feeling I had with Koeman, so hope I'm wrong and I probably am. Either way I'll get behind the gaffer whoever it may be

Sunderland were broke - they are now in League One. Slag him all you like, he did great work here.
 
Sam Allardyce on brink of Everton exit

Sam Allardyce is set to leave Everton this week but the club’s interest in Marco Silva as his replacement is complicated by a continuing dispute with Watford, his former employers.

Allardyce’s departure after just six months in charge is likely to be confirmed after a meeting of the Everton hierarchy. The manager has become a target for supporters’ displeasure and there is a realisation that a summer of change must now play out to recover from an underwhelming campaign that has left the club divided.

Everton are keen to hire Silva, who was their target before Allardyce last November, but the situation is not straightforward because of the anger still felt by Watford over the events that led to the Portuguese coach’s dismissal in January. Everton’s offer of a compensation package of about £12 million was rejected by Watford, who then sacked Silva two months later after a downturn in results.

Watford released a statement saying that an “unwarranted approach by a Premier League rival” had effectively destabilised the 40-year-old and, as a consequence, their season. There remains an annoyance at boardroom level over Everton’s conduct.

It is still possible that Watford will seek a financial settlement from Everton and that means the process is complex. Silva has not received any compensation since his sacking and his representatives have been in touch with the League Managers Association.

That tangled scenario forms the backdrop to Everton’s latest managerial change. Roberto Martínez was sacked in May 2016, then Ronald Koeman in October 2017, with the interim manager David Unsworth stepping into the breach until November. Allardyce took 34 points from 24 league matches in charge, as Everton finished eighth, but his relationship with their supporters deteriorated over the course of a season that ended with a 3-1 defeat by West Ham United on Sunday.

Speaking on Sky Sports last night, Allardyce said: “Who knows what is going to happen next? The season is finished and I am going to have a meeting with Farhad [Moshiri, the club’s leading shareholder] this week and then I will go on my holidays.”

The club also have a meeting planned with Wayne Rooney’s representatives tomorrow after Everton instigated interest in him from the MLS side DC United. Rooney was angered by the move given the commitment he made when returning to his boyhood club last summer from Manchester United, and is waiting to see what role, if any, he now has in Everton’s future.

In addition, a replacement CEO is needed after Robert Elstone returned to rugby league, while Everton want PSV Eindhoven’s Marcel Brands to replace Steve Walsh as director of football.

Thats pretty much confirms it he is the next Everton manager if Joyce has that, he is ours with no compensation, not on gardening leave.

The only way Watford would be due a penny is if we broke any rules. Its not against the rules to approach a club and offer compensation to employ their manager.

Machiavellian stuff by Moshiri, he’s going to land his man, for less then he offered them in compensation to begin with via employing another manager who snagged 8th and 130 odd million in prize money.

Watford should be fuming. I can safely say Richarlison nor Doucoure will be Everton players in the future.

Just a matter of time now.

Welcome Marco.

Oh sure, just look at all the trophies he won in 11 years, the League Cup in 08, UEFA Cup in 08, FA Cups in 09 and 2012. Marvelous stuff, oh wait none of that happened because we were nearly men under him

At least we had an identity and ethos then. Now we are just another club throwing good money after bad trying to buy success
