Marco Silva's Everton fate sealed with David Moyes set to return as new manager

Marco Silva has been handed a temporary Goodison reprieve - but his Evertonfate is sealed.
And that has seen former boss David Moyes emerge as the most likely candidate to replace him.
The experienced manager is seen as the perfect man to steer the club away from the threat of relegation they find themselves facing.
The Blues board met immediately after Saturday’s 2-0 defeat by Norwich which so incensed Everton fans, they joined in a chant of: “You’re getting sacked in the morning”.
Afterwards, supporters confronted owner Farhad Moshiri and chairman Bill Kenwright.
Kenwright could do no more than listen to their complaints, and agree it wasn’t good enough. Moshiri watched in horror, unable to speak.

On Saturday evening, he met with Silva, and said his instinct was to remain loyal for as long as possible.
Initially, the Everton owner said he wanted his manager in charge against Leicester next weekend, but the wider feeling within the club is there is no time to delay - with the overwhelming majority of fans calling for immediate action.
Moshiri spoke with his board again on Sunday, and heard the majority feel Silva’s departure is inevitable. The experience of Moyes is also a key factor - he knows the club inside out, and understands the demands and desires of the fans.
He also showed a track record in keeping West Ham up when they were in a similarly desperate position.

And Everton are deep in the mire. They are only four points off the relegation zone, and in their next five fixtures face Leicester, Liverpool , Chelsea , Manchester United and Arsenal .
By Christmas they could be cast adrift at the bottom of the Premier League table, and Moshiri knows he has to act. He will spend Monday considering his options, and speak to Silva once more.
But Moyes is the overwhelming favourite to return, quite possibly on a short-term contract initially. He has already indicated he would love to go back to Goodison, and still lives in Preston, not far from Merseyside.
He has been out of managerial work since the end of the 2017-18 season, where he took over West Ham in November, and steered them out of the relegation zone, to a respectable 13th place, 11 points above the drop.

Well personally I think our options are much better during a close season than midseason.
Very few managers are willing to walk away from jobs they are being successful at.
I mean Rodgers did it at Leicester, but im struggling to think of many others.
I thought I understood your point to be fair. My point was really that Clubs, and especially Everton, make and will continue to make bad decisions so you’re likely to not be there as often as you’d like if you stop supporting whilst they’re making bad decisions.
And, as I said....each to his own.
You are now stating after the fact 24hrs after I asked you the source of your information, you didn't have a clue and you scurried off into the night as usual.The board meeting did take place.So please retract the allegations, you have made about me.
Well I make no secret of the fact I want Arteta. He would clearly leave to become a manager.
I'd also take Kovac in a heartbeat. Not everyone decent is currently in work.
Our options are clearly better at the end of the season but that's no reason not to sack him. An interim boss is not ideal but still far preferable than this mess.
I really wanted Silva to do well but we all know it's not going to happen now. He can't come back from yesterday. This is just prolonging the misery got everyone.
Not a joke . Joyce is a kopite too and gets stuff.This is a joke right?
Hes defo the worst.
Check out his twitter mate, 1 raving kopite weapon.
Arteta and Kovac are huge risks.
I mean at this point im struggling to think of a worse option than Silva, but it doesnt mean we gamble.
Not a joke . Joyce is a kopite too and gets stuff.
He says Silva is on the way our and moyes likely to be in. Not ground breaking but hardly spam either.
*grey*Moyes he's Moyes Davey Davey Moyes he's got gray hair, no silverware, Davey Davey Moyes.
He's got silver hair we don't careMoyes he's Moyes Davey Davey Moyes he's got gray hair, no silverware, Davey Davey Moyes.
I dont know whether Joyce is a kopite, but just have a look at Maddocks twitter and you will see what I mean mate.
