Koeman had the makings of a half decent team, got given a truckload of money, and flopped as bad as any of them. He set us back years.

You can take your pick of the last 4 managers. They've all been crap.

The next one better be good. And soon hopefully.

What can you blame Koeman for he is clearly an above average manager. He has a very healthy trophy cabinet and is doing a great job with Holland. Shouldn't we be looking at why he couldn't succeed at Everton. Looking for scapegoats is easy finding the path to success is harder.

He didn't succeede because he signed a pile of no marks for huge fees.

He is a poor manager.

Which bit of us having a DoF who was responsible for the signings didn't you understand ?

If you want to complain about a pile of no mark signings then the name you are looking for is Steve Walsh not Koeman.

As for Koeman being a poor manager, I wish Everton had won as many trophies over the last decade or two as Koeman.

Everton board looking indecisive

by Matt Townsend 3 hours ago

Time is ticking on and so far there is no sign that the board at Everton are prepared to make a move to change manager before the international break is over and the Premier League returns.

This weekend there have been reports circulating that the Everton hierarchy is giving Marco Silva three games to ‘save’ his job.

If true that makes no sense at all. Can someone explain to me why extending his time by another, almost arbitrary, three matches is in any way a rational approach to this situation?

Even if Silva was to win these games, against West Ham and Leicester City in the Premier League and then Watford in the league cup, then so what?

Does no one in the corridors of power at Goodison Park remember the latter third of last season when Everton won a series of games at home and seemed to have turned a corner?

And since then what has happened. We returned to the same incurably erratic and underperforming form which characterised most of the last campaign, and this has left the team sitting in the bottom three after eight games!

The endless repetition of the same problems for nearly eighteen months is surely enough evidence for them to be able to make a decision.

Constant problems conceding goals from set-pieces, a fixation with a formation that has undermined the capacity of his players to achieve their full potential and a lack of energy, intensity and commitment in the team’s play.

All of this is the direct consequence of the approach employed by Silva. It is obvious that he is simply not up to the task in front of him.

How can a team with players of the quality of Jordan Pickford, Lucas Digne, Yerry Mina, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Alex Iwobi and Richarlison, all of whom are quality, established internationals, be sitting in the relegation zone?

This situation is particularly infuriating and unforgivable given the set of fixtures the Blues have had since the season started.

Apart from playing champions Manchester City at home, Everton have not faced a single other team that is expected to finish anywhere near the top six in the table, at season’s end.

The opportunity was there for the side to generate real momentum and give the season a boost for the supposedly ‘tougher’ games to come. That of course hasn’t happened.

I think all the evidence is there and a decision should have been made now with a two-week window in which to put fresh plans in place. So why haven’t the club moved on this?

Obviously there is a difficult decision to make about who should succeed him. Nearly every Evertonian has probably gone through the various possible candidates and their merits and so have we on this site.

However just because it is a tough decision, it still has to be faced and kicking it down the road isn’t going to make it go away, because I simply can’t see any other way for the Toffees to move forward.

If Silva were to win all those coming games, stay in his job and then lost the next three matches, what then..!?
