Those shouting for Mourinho... You may as well stop supporting the club now. If he ever did get the job he would totally destroy Everton forever within 2 years.
Be careful what you wish for.

I can't make my mind up on Silva. He has been massively let down by players, but he needs to be braver with his selections and drop those who show lack of effort.

Just out of interest, what are you basing this on?

No im just not a raging queen thinking the world ends should we ever not be in this league finishing 8-11th every season.

Since the 90's EFC are just another club making up the numbers- we hoped Moshiri would change that but he's happy plodding along appointing midtable managers to keep us treading water never achieving anything or growing as a club.

Outside the top 6 clubs any side going down wouldnt be a disaster in the grand scheme of things.

Outside of the PL fanboys most would still be following us up and down the country and the tv money means we wouldnt be in financial trouble.

Yes it would be embarassing and a disgrace but thats about it - Aston Villa are a similiar sized club and went down years ago and are only 3 points behind us whilst we have done nothing during their time out the division - hardly been a disaster of epic proportions to them has it.

No club will ever benefit from being relegated.
Promotion from the championship is a lottery We would lose our best players, commercial deals, TV revenue and standing as a premier league ever present.* However on the plus side we might see us beat Bristol City.


* I'm classing the last one as an achievement so shut it.
 
So we have a long exhausting tactical sessions and all they end up with is put it out wide and cross? I don't want to defend our players, but no wonder they're fed up with his sessions.

That would mean he has to drop himself!

I'm not Silva's biggest fan, I never have been and unless he's winning us trophies I never will be. I didn't see the clamour for him nor want him myself but he's here. I'm not setting out to defend him here because I'm leaning towards wanting him to get the boot myself soon, though I'm sure some will take this as a defence of him.

But that article doesn't make me think there's something wrong with Silva. "Not motivating the players" eff me. Just eff me. These players are on the highest wages in Everton's history, multiple record signings in that squad. It's not just on Silva to motivate them, he's got a whole coaching staff behind him and lads like Ferguson, Unsworth, Brands (who we've seen in the tunnel home and away on matchdays). Of course there are managers that make players want to play for them. There's also 37k-38k blues they walk out in front of every week and it's suggested that the excuse "Silva doesn't motivate us" is enough to put in garbage performances? all the club staff they must see every day who are usually all local blues as well.

Players can't concentrate for an hour if they have to hang around Finch Farm or do set-piece training? Alarm bells. I get they've had a full day of physical activity - it's difficult and I can empathise with that slightly. What I can't empathise with is why we proved we actually can defend set-pieces at the start of the year and now we've regressed - the only reason they have to do the extra training is because they've clearly either gotten complacent or forgotten all the training they did before that fixed the problem in the first place. Rather than the article being about Silva I'd like to know which "individuals" are switching off and ignoring tactical instructions though - it's so important in defending set-pieces that EVERYONE is on the same page.

The only part I can forgive is the hotel waffle, we do have some family oriented players (Richarlison, Siggy getting married, Bernard, Kean, isn't Pickfords missus pregnant?) and players with young kids that I'm sure they'd want to be home to parent (Digne and Coleman both having infants).

The end of the day I'm not enthusiastic about Silva myself but I've seen the players put in these horrible performances before - especially Schneiderlin, Keane and Siggurdson. I've seen some of the same players put in amazing performances - there's a lot of things you could pick at on Silva - his tactics, the failure to get goals out of the 4 strikers he's had. This article just makes me feel more ire towards the players and highlights the set-piece problem which everyone knew about anyway.

Yes mate.

Professionals of any kind motivate themselves.

Some millionaire is complaining about having to go to work? I’m sorry, do they do night shifts at the factory for 12 hours? No they get paid millions for playing a game, barely do a full work week, bloody joke. My heart is bleeding for them :dodgy:

Could this be the reason he is failing ??
João Pedro Sousa was assistant to
Marco Silva
at all six of the clubs the Everton boss has managed, winning trophies with Sporting CP and Olympiacos. He is now managing Famalicão who find themselves third in the Liga Nos ahead of Monday evening's trip to Sporting, from which a win would see them top the table after five games unbeaten......explains a lot

Thought the same, he was top last I checked

be careful what you wish for? Really, I wish we had hired a manager who'd actually won something instead of the long succession of losers who we get one after another, imagine wanting a manager who's got a winning mentality
 

If we somehow manage to land Jose, he'd by far the biggest figure we have and that could be vital. We need a strong leader and someone who can inspire our squad of bottlers. I can see why there are some people against him, but I have no doubts we'd have at least managerial power in our dressing room.
 
Remember we had exactly the same problem the start of last season witg the set peices and then we magically learnt how to defend

Its like the summer off has made them forget
 
Jose doesn't fix any of our problems, We're not even close to winning trophies so how would him being a winner help at all, Sure it can give you a winners mentality but that will only take this Everton squad so far.
He'd be working with Brands and that's just gonna end in disaster because Mourinho will want to be Scarface and have free reign over the club.
We need a manager who will take us from our generic 7/8th finish into consistent top 6 finishes, When was the last time Mourinho done that? His last 4 clubs have all been CL regulars.
He'd need to spend a huge amount of money to get the players he wants as well.
Also his previous salary at United was 15m a year and Silva is on 3-4m a year so it's not happening.
