Marco Silva | No longer Everton manager
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
They surely won't get back to Moyes?
True, AVB has a better CV, but he came to the English league after one successful season with Porto... Then he failed with both Chelsea and Spurs and fecked off to Russia. Seems he's doing well in France.
Would never want to see him in the PL again.
Makes too much sense from Evertons view point, so they won't but would be a fantastic appointment for them.
Big Dunc interim manager for the weekend... Might see if I can place a bet on him getting sent off
It’s actually quite surprising that AVB is still only 42, because I had completely forgot about him, and his time in PL feels like it was ages ago.
But Silva’s CV isn’t even close to AVB, whose record at Spurs wasn’t even that bad, even though he replaced Bale with mostly huge flops, that squad was a mess which Pochettino did well to clean up. Hard to see Silva getting another chance at PL, or AVB for that matter.
Peter Reid would be funny, or how about the true blue Jamie Carragher submitting his cv.
I'm trying to think of another manager that has failed upwards like this guy in the PL?
Can't see it. I don't think he'd want it because of his connection to Liverpool. He's also on a fortune in China. The plus side is that contracts in China have a knack of coming to an abrupt end and he didn't do well at the end of the season so maybe they'd be happy to let him go? Still, think West Ham would be more likely if he came back to England soon.
He does have the kind of profile a team like Everton should be going for rather than Moyes though. Everton are a wealthy club when it comes down to it. Mentioned people like Spaletti, Marcelinho, Blanc and Kovac a page or two back. Could normally throw the likes of Rafa in there too although I think that Chinese money may be a little too much plus that connection to the other team in the city. Maybe even Emery is a goer now? I'd doubt they'd go for him and I'm not sure he'd go there, but they could probably afford him. They should be ambitious with the money have.

AVB probably looks better to those who aren't spurs fans.
Just like Sherwood, he boasts one of the highest win % statistics for the club, but I think you'll be hard-pushed to find any credible Spurs fan who watched and/or attended games under AVB who didn't fall completely out of love with football during that period. It's pretty soul destroying to watch a team keep 80% possession whilst simultaneously look like they wouldn't score if the game was 90 hours long. It was basically 18 months or so of tumescent football with Bale randomly scoring worldies against the run of play and out of nowhere.
His GIF game was good, though
I thought Silva peaked prior to even getting near thinking about Everton. He did an amazing job at Hull, against all odds (despite relegation, which was inevitable), and was doing a marvellous job at Watford prior to being tapped up.
His problem was joining a team that wanted to chuck money at players in an Al-Fayed-at-Fulham manner, with similar results. The worst kept secret in football is that replacing the vast majority of your squad with expensive players in a short period of time results in relegation form and sackings, but it doesn't stop the foolhardy excitement and optimism that pundits, fans, managers and owners have towards that strategy.
Silva should have stayed a Watford, and Everton should have stuck with Allardyce imo.
Imagine they get Moyes, still remember newbie threads and Everton posters there when Moyes became United manager.
I was right about that. Sadly, I'm wrong about everything else.
It was crazy, regardless about being right or wrong.
i honestly think that they will get moyes back. At least for the short term. Some of you are harsh on ole. But we havent sunk to the level of everton thankfully
I want to see Jorge Jesus in the Premier League
I hope they get someone to keep them up. Even with the years of hatred which was way in the past a team like Everton shouldn't be playing in the lower divisions.
Agree. Portuguese version of Portuguese language is not right.
Curious to see if Duncan decides to bring some of the youngsters in, big risk for him to do it so probably not.
Moyes will be back, Tim Cahill as assistant coach.
They really should get Arteta.
Horrible run of fixtures for new manager, is Moyes favourite for the job?
I wonder if they could get relegated? Granted Silva did a terrible job, but this years Everton squad is not exactly the strongest i've seen
Why ? What did he do to you ?
I dislike his face
Moyes to replace him? Another ex-manager back at OT soon then.
I mean, what a new manager can do?
They have no midfield due to injury, Marco was forced to use Schneiderlin and Tom Davies, occasionally playing Sigurdsson in Deep lying position.
Whoever taking over Everton job will be in for a nightmare run.
I wouldn't mind seeing Moyes meltdown in the premier league again though.

Wouldn't it be fun if Everton got relegated? Never really liked them for some reason.
Least that'll lower Liverpool's point tally.
If they get Moyes back I'd probably quit watching football if I was an everton fan, how utterly depressing. When so many of their fans have been calling for Mourinho, and thinking they were in with a chance of landing him, to go back to.....David Moyes.
Not for you of course. But out of interest, what is the general opinion of the Everton fans with regards to a new manager. Risk taking option such as Gallardo or back to basics like Moyes?
Everyone saying we have a poor squad should look at our overall squads a decade or so ago, it was thin to the bones and aside from a good first 11 was overall pretty poor. For the past few years we have had a very good squad that’s been managed terribly. Chuck in the fact that we have been very unlucky with injuries to our new CM and Gomes aside the rapid decline of Gylfi and you have a recipe for disaster. There’s no excuses though for being in a relegation position with this team or for losing against all of the promoted sides. This squad should not be below 10th.
The issue is your spine down the centre is piss poor. Michael Keane like I said many times is a disaster waiting to happen. You haven’t really got a stand out CM and a goal scorer up front.
Jagielka is proving hard to replace for you guys and you haven’t replaced Lukaku. I know people are going to think I’m being funny, but Jagielka was a pretty solid player for Everton.
He's not leaving before the Club's World Cup and bare in mind that he is very well paid.
Off course AVB failed. Without Vítor Pereira as assistant doing all the tough work things got harder for him to get the same end result.
It's only a matter of time before he gets a job at Watford.
Over 400m spent since 2016..
What a strange comment that last bit, so clubs aren’t supposed to have ambition? Everton are one of the most historic clubs in the country not a Watford or Brighton who are punching above their weight even being in the division. Leicester City shows every club outside the richest few that with good managerial appointments, scouting, and ownership that you can dream big.
Anyone else slightly surprised Moyes hasn’t been confirmed yet? Even with Duncan Ferguson taking the Chelsea game tomorrow, the Moyes stuff has been reported since yesterday morning well before the sacking actually happened, with the added detail of Tim Cahil being the assistant suggesting maybe a briefing (and we all know Moyes’ friendly relationship with the media), so why the delay?
Could the negative reaction from Everton fans towards Moyes maybe have caused a rethink?

So.. Everton is considering Vitor Pereira... two years late 
At the moment I told exactly that is baffling how can Marco Silva get the Everton job when managers like Jorge Jesus, Marco Pereira, Ivo Vieira were much better and were available. I mentioned Paulo Fonseca but he refused Everton offer at the time.
