They know that we know that they know it is just a matter of time. No way are we beating Leicester or the RS or Chelsea on the 7th. So he is going to be gone on the Thursday the 5th or if not the Saturday after the match.

Holding out for a miracle else. The end is nigh.

i really wanted to support Silva, and still the default position for me is to support the whole squad and club even if they're not doing well. The main problem is that we are not seeing even flashes of improvement. If we were in the same league position, with the same record, there are a few things which I would have accepted and thought that its worth keeping him on:
- Periods of good play, with coordination, tactics that they just can't keep up for 90 mins
- Signs of a strategy
- Young players missing chances, tackles or passes, but being given the chance to improve
- Mistakes being rectified - e.g. Schneiderlin, Walcott, SIggy are not always the best choices -
- Balance of team selection - not the 'same-paced' players in the midfield or attack. Schneiderlin, Siggy and Delph can never play in the same team - only 2 of them at a time
- Consistent team selection - Tosun, Richarlison, DCL all tried up front as CF but no plan

SIgns of improvement are slim, and this is the thing that is worrying the most. Everyone talks well, has good team spirit, but it just seems like we are not fighting, or not implementing the tactics we are supposed to have. Another thing I don't understand is why the manager's position is so autonomous - to this extent. Why can't Brands interfere on things like team selection at this kind of time? What's the point of a DoF if they can't line manager the manager, and say stuff like - we need a period of the season where we focus on energy and defence and not losing games, or don't pick Schneiderlin, give a younger player a chance et etc


I hate the idea of sacking the 4th manager in 4 years, but I can't see a way out, and I'm really worried about getting Moyes back, or another Allardyce style appointment. And I'm also worried about a short-term transfer policy and I hope that a new manager doesn't just pick favourites and let go of the big investment we've made on players like Mina, Digne, Kean.

I wish there was another way out of this.

Agree totally with all this. Our main concern for me is the lack of goals. Tbh we haven't been outclassed in any games bar City. We create chances nut don't score. Siggy is playing terrible but we had his goals last year.
I would defo have stuck with Rico up front and Iwobi out wide

Spurs managed the Pochettino dismissal very well, within a couple of hours of his sacking the narrative had switched to the appointment of Mourinho.

My hope is that we are trying to have somebody ready to step in before the dismissal of the current manager is announced.
We have seen over the last three years how little genuine information seeps out of the club which leads me to believe all the talk about Moyes coming back is just from the media... it would be a convenient story for them.

You'd think, given this seasons disastrous showing, that all the background work would have been completed and his successor already identified?

No wait... this is Everton. Ostrich mentality prevails until finally the crowd tell the board what to do. FFS, we are led by a bunch of spanners!

Yeah, surely if it was Moyes then it would be done, but In saying that we did also go through this phoney looking for Sam's replacement when everyone knew it was Silva, but then people were saying that if it was Silva hed be in by now seems he's without a club after Watford sacked him, so just as i started to believe it might be Fonseca, we announced Silva FFS

What makes you think Moshiri, Kenwright and Brands don't have a list? If they do have a list (which they will) they're not going to make it public.

Why are we scrambling round for a interim if we do? Why haven't they approached someone already? That's what well run clubs do. Spurs and Leicester are two examples.

Yeah it was pretty ruthless considering Poch had transformed Tottenham. It's amazing what fans & owners want nowadays. I don't know what they expect - Tottenham have consistently finished top 4 under Poch and gone ahead of Arsenal, and done really well in the CL, plus 2 serious Title fights (until Feb / March at least) =- that's much better than they used to be. I guess now they thought that Pochetino can't do more than that.

Personally I haven't seen anything from the club that says we're scrambling around for anything. Have you seen something official from the club?
Scrambling for an interim is speculation. A potential new manager could have already been approached for all we know?

Well yes its all rumour we are always in the dark at this club. But it stinks of Blue Bill to me. We shall see. They should have identified someone months ago.
