Yes it is mis management. The management of a football club today is not like it was years ago. You obviously believe that the board are selecting a new manager behind closed doors in a smoky room sorry mate but that's not how it's done nowadays, see moshiris chase of Koeman only 18months ago. I'm also pretty sure that Unsworth won't have a clue as to what's going on either. My ref to simeone and tuchel was not put in as a serious expectation either unfortunately my only serious expectation is for it to be one of the bland run of the mill managers that are available at present or Unsworth. I expect nothing more of this board at the moment but disappointment.
I'm not saying he's done enough to manage us. Just saying the devil is in the detail on Karanka.
It wasn’t just the results, though. The team selections and performances were abysmal.
And rightly so.
In fact, it was just those sort of performances/selections/results which done for Koeman and dropped us in this mess in t’ first place.
And I tell you this for nothing.....if Koeman had been in charge versus Watford we would have been down and out when the second goal went in.
Rhino is trying to clean up an almighty mess.
He was dropped into a run of four games, three of them away, in the space of ten days or so.
He had very little time in between those games to work on tactics or formations.
IMO the next four games, the league games not the dead EL rubbers, will give a more realistic appraisal of David’s credentials and whether he can be trusted to steer the ship until a proper, permanent manager is installed.
I am sure everyone on here wishes him all the best in his endeavours.
As for me, I am still sticking by my prediction we will be in 8th place on New Year’s Day
Come on, Rhino la’
Watford reject Everton's request to talk to Marco Silva about managerial vacancy
Exclusive: Everton are interested in the up-and-coming Portuguese coach but there is understood to be no release clause in his contract.
Marco Silva almost rescued Hull from relegation and has elevated Watford this year Getty
Watford have rejected Everton's approach for manager Marco Silva.
Everton have turned their attention to Silva as part of their long search to replace Ronald Koeman, who was sacked last month. They have already looked at Sam Allardyce and Sean Dyche for the role but now want to speak to the 40-year-old Portuguese who has started well at Vicarage Road.
Silva is interested in speaking to Everton if a deal can be agreed between the clubs, but Watford today rejected Everton's approach. Watford do not want to lose Silva mid-season - he has only been in charge for 12 games - and believe that having said no to Everton's approach today that the matter is now closed. There is no release clause in Silva's Watford contract, meaning that Everton's only option is to offer Watford a compensation package so lucrative that they cannot turn it down.
How Silva made Watford the best of the rest
After nearly saving Hull City from relegation, Silva signed a two-year contract at Vicarage Road earlier this summer which would expire at the end of next season, having turned down Porto, Crystal Palace and West Ham United to take the Watford job. He is already on the radar of Arsenal and Manchester United as a potential future manager and sees his future managing one of England's top clubs, even ahead of a return to Portugal to coach Benfica.
The arrival of Silva at Watford, replacing Walter Mazzarri, sparked an instant improvement in their form but they have lost their last three Premier League games and have slipped down to ninth in the Premier League table.
Internal candidate David Unsworth has been in caretaker charge at Goodison Parkand was understood to have every chance of earning the job on a permanent basis but results have failed to improve under his brief stewardship and Everton are now looking for inspiration from outside the club.
