Paulo Fonseca

[Khalekan]

Just dropping in here to categorically state that Fonseca is a wildly better choice than Silva, if we plump for Silva it's because our board are STILL (!!!) stuck in the out-dated 'prem-proven' mindset. Silva is a marginally better version of Martinez who will crumble eventually.

Fonseca is no sure-fire choice - no manager is - but he's exciting, smart and much more worth the gamble than Silva is.

It's all moot if they don't fix our recruitment anyway, and that seems like a pipe dream as they still haven't installed a new DoF, which should have been done a month or two ago, ahead of the brand new shortened transfer window that also contains a World Cup. Weeeee

~POSITIVITY~

Silva iis not a “prem proven” manager based on about ten underwhelming months in which he was relegated with one club and fired by another.

And far from being a “marginally” better version of Martinez, Bobby’s EPL credentials for the job were considerably more impressive than Silva’s are

He'll get us 73 points and 4th and in the finals of cup competitions?

Yes please.

Did you ever read anything as ridiculous in your life, Dave lol

Would be just another Koeman... someone who doesn't really want to be here but will take the wedge... pass and go for someone who wants the job.

Fonseca won the Ukrainian league. You can only come first, of course. But come on, it's the Ukraine. The feller's done nothing.

He was talking about Silva being a “marginally better” version of Bobby, Dave....not Fonseca

Its not only that Dave, its the winning and the style of football, something weve been deprived of for a very long time barring Martinez first season which admittedly was enjoyable.

West Ham lollollol he will not be going there. More likely to be Italy.

Done pretty well in the Champions League this season.

Far be it from me to try and defend the board's thinking behind picking Silva over Fonseca, I just believe that's the mindset.

I do think he's marginally better than Martinez though (Silva, that is)

Leicester, taps nose.

He near enough went on strike at Watford to be here when he was flying at Watford. What a bizarre comment.

Yes please.

If hiring managers were based on such simple and provable outcomes, Dave, everyone's life would be a lot easier. Good snark though.

 

[Timak]

I want it to be Fonseca so I can morph into @davek and desperately defend my choice when he turns out to be massively underwhelming.

Make a change from being a smug/miserable git who has been proven right on just about every Everton managerial choice and signing for the last 4 years

More likely than the Hammers they are a joke club(even more than us which saying something).
