Which managerial sacking was the biggest mistake?

[jerseytoffee]

In hindsight Allardyce, I think we'd be in a much better position as a club if we kept him on.

I was happy to see him go at the time as the football was horrible, but his job was to keep us up and he got us to eight. He might have been able to build more pleasing on the eye football over a preseason and more time.

He’s had a long enough career in management to prove that this isn’t the case.

The fact we were in a comfortable enough position well before the season ended and he still insisted on his archaic ways was another flag.

The fella spent most of his time here popcorning the fans. He knew it was only a short term gig. Wanted his payout and had no intention of staying on imo.

There’s an argument to be made that he should never have got the job in the first place. Things went toxic under him, scenes I thought I wouldn’t see again until Benitez came in.

Totally agree but once here he did what was was required. Things go toxic under every manager because as fans we have no patience. With Sam we thought we were too good for someone like him but I truly believe giving him that extra season would have stabilized this club once and for all.

So how much will Lampard sacking cost ya?

God Knows. Have you seen his backroom staff? They won't have come cheap.

What did Sam do to be sacked?

He had a golden opportunity to show the world that he wasn’t a one trick grock ale house, horrible style merchant with us, as we were safe, and he decided to keep the same horrible tactics and way of playing instead - until Benitez, the most un-Everton Everton manager possible.

Plus he should never have got the job in the first place.

I don’t see how. We’ve only just managed to move Tosun on after paying him a fortune for years. A player he went hell for leather to bring in.

Not sacking Lampard before the World Cup break will prove to be the worst decision the board have made.

 

[DanB90]

Honest to god. Evertonians actually pining for Allardyce.

Put us out of our ‘kin misery and liquidate the club please.

I guess getting results and moving further up the table brought in more money, but trying to entertain a paying audience would have been preferable.

Very true, you've brought back more memories and swayed me.

Changing to Silva, the thing that cost him was losing Gueye and his replacement Gbamin getting that injury left him with a sieve of a midfield.

I think the exact opposite

He spunked huge money on Walcott and Tosun and he was supposedly trying to get Jack Wilshere to come here, along with wanting the board to commit £40-£50m to signing Jamie Vardy

I'm utterly convinced that things would have been worse in the long run with him here

I think every manager on the list has players like that. It seems to be what we do quite regularly. Besic, Kean, Keane, that Spanish lad (can't remember his name) to name a few.

Worse than where we are now?

 

[dannyboy]

Silva by far for me. It was early in the season and I'm convinced he'd have comfortably kept us. He'd shown in the previous year he was a capable enough manager.

Sacking Silva and not letting Brands do his job yet offering him an extension.
