To be fair to me, you’re only seeing half a post I started writing yesterday and forgot about
.
Anyway, I don’t think it’s ridiculous. Martinez, in no way shape or form was the start of our decline. I admit that it wasn’t pretty in the end but he still managed 2 semi finals that season only getting beat by city and united. So one amazing season and then two mid table seasons with very little budget (in todays terms) and a decent run in the cups wasn’t getting anywhere near relegation. In fact, I can guarantee that most would snap your hand off for anything even resembling that now, we haven’t even replicated any of it with a far superior budget.
Moshiri came in and should have given him the summer instead of bowing to fan pressure and sacking him. If truth be told, we got too big for our boots (myself included) with the influx of money and it’s been nothing but a car crash ever since, ending in the pitiful state we are now.
It’s been said a thousand times, Moshiri should have cleared the decks and started fresh, just like Newcastle have and we wouldn’t be having this discussion.
I agree with you on Silva though, he’s a decent manager but once again Moshiri bowed to fan pressure to the detriment of Everton.
Anyway, sign two strikers, a winger, a left back and a centre half and hurry up you quilts.
