Ffffffs Joyce!
And yet you want Moyes who has two sackings and a relegation on his cv?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
The players at West Ham wanted him to stay, and the players here always ran through walls when he was hereAnd yet you want Moyes who has two sackings and a relegation on his cv?
He also won a FA Cup and been in the league for years

Sunderland were broke - they are now in League One. Slag him all you like, he did great work 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
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.

Sunderland were broke - they are now in League One. [Poor language removed] him all you like, he did great work here.
At least we had an identity and ethos then. Now we are just another club throwing good money after bad trying to buy successOh 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
Who is this Gardiola? Sounds like my kind of manager!we could appoint Gardiola and this place would still be split.
