Which managerial sacking was the biggest mistake?

[Pittsburgh Footy]

This poll is revisionist history

All those managers deserved to be sacked, but you could argue that the only one that really didn't was Fat Sam.

As much as we wanted Silva to work, by the end we were in a death spiral, with much better players than what we have now. I'm not sure we would have survived that season with him in charge. He's successful at Fulham because he's had multiple years with them and got them playing his style in the friendly confines of the Championship with lower stakes. If he was put in charge of Fulham after coming up to the Premier League, who's to say he'd be having this type of success?

That being said, perhaps we can buy him back from Fulham once we go down (half joking). We'd need a manager like that

Funny title to the thread when one thinks about it.

Which signing was the biggest mistake more like.

 

[LocalNative]

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but we probably should've given Silva more time. Even Brands wanted to keep Silva but Moshiri continued to play god and made the decision himself.

He lost Zouma and he wasn't replaced, not to mention both Gomes and Gbamin getting injured whilst Moise Kean never settled.

 

[Carlito]

He didnt have six months to show us anything since it was well known we were, or rather Moshiri like the idiot he is, was going to sack him. Ask your self why he was wearing red socks that time, he was laughing at us, all the way to the bank with Farhads money in his pocket

If he didn't like the scenario, he didn't have to take the job.

Your saying Sam should of got a longer contract then 18 months??? And you wonder why we are skint.
18 months was fine, to actually let him work less then 18 months was the stupidest thing we've done as a club for decades.
The fact some Everton fans welcomed the sacking of a perfectly viable manager for us says a lot about our fan base, we've currently got the club we deserve

that summer we brought in a younger manager, played better football, signed mina, richarlison & digne had a decent season - so I would say in that instance we were probably right to get rid of allardyce - he spent 50mill on walcott & tosun

No but why would he turn down the easiest pay cheque in history? More fool Farhad for offering it.

Tosun yes, Walcott was definitely a Farhad one.
We had a decent season but we didn't do any better and then sacked the manager again.

Nobody's disputing either of these things.

 

[EFC78]

If we just pretend for a moment that you're not an obvious wind-up account, the stupid thing was hiring a career relegation fighter for a relegation fight that was over before he took his first training session, at a time where the club was still spending enough money to have a go at playing decent football while pushing for Europe (eg exactly what happened the following season).

He had six months to show that he was capable of offering more than just desperation defending and percentage balls up the line, and he couldn't have failed more miserably.

Is this some parallel universe you're talking about?

 

[Carlito]

Is this some parallel universe you're talking about?

Yeah, the one where we were 13th when he took over, and had just beaten West Ham 4-0.

 

[everton1953]

Big Sam.

 

[knowing your history]

his tenure as Barca manager says he is terrible

It didn't work out. Just like Carlo at Bayern Munich didn't really work out but he's as far from a "terrible manager" as you can get.

Koeman has done well at Ajax, Benfica, PSV, Southampton and Dutch national team so that's a decent variety of sides managed. I also enjoyed his first season. His one big failure was probably at Valencia where there was a player mutiny against him and even there he won the Copa Del Rey.

 

[hktoffee]

Silva is doing ok but Moyes got 6th and 7th so let’s see if Silva will get found out next season.

Next you'll be claiming Martinez has done well with Belgium

Everything was rosy then wasn't it...

The decision to appoint him had already been made after a shambolic start from Koeman, and a worrying continuation of the poor form by Unsworth. Which Unsworth himself admitted after the disgusting defeat at Southampton

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42042018

Unsworth said the performance at St Mary's was "not acceptable" and the team need to "get back to basics".

He added: "Confidence is as low as it has ever been. The club has to decide and the sooner that happens the better. The players need this resolving

We got taken apart by them before the West Ham game and the form and performances were as bad as this season or last:

This defeat came just three days after a 5-1 loss to Atalanta in the Europa League, and ex-Everton striker Gary Lineker described the club as "a shambles" as they collapsed at St Mary's.

The Toffees seem rudderless on and off the pitch, and former defender Unsworth has been unable to add any stability since Ronald Koeman was sacked in October.

Everton have now conceded 28 goals in the Premier League this season - their worst tally after 13 games since 1958-59.
