And the new Manager will be?

Moyes rumoured to be returning to Everton

Moyes going back to Everton

 

Where is all this 'youth' (British or foreign) that has broken through into our first team?

 

I thought the Pozzo's only sacked a manager when they had virtually agreed terms with the replacement, allowing for a swift transition? We used to laugh at other clubs for having no planned successor when a caretaker would stick around for weeks.

 

Is it? I think that’s a bit of a myth in recent years.

We seem to promote players who are too old far more than we promote youth.

 

It's going to be Mullins. Clearly no one wants the job and Mullins is the cheapest option, so that's that.

 

How long is it taking Everton to sack Silva? Its literally the only positive from this season so I'd like us to get it in the bag ASAP

 

Typical Watford to get us in such a mess that when it happens, we can’t really even laugh at them.

 

But if it's to give us any hope of staying up, we want him to stay in the hot seat for as long as it takes surely?

(Even though it seems Everton getting relegated is as likely as the sun never rising again...)

 

I agree on both counts!

 

Good pick Markoa, I think this is as good a team as it's possible to put out at the moment. Masina needs to build up a run of games now, Kabs is the quickest CB we have, Quina deserves a chance and Doucs needs to sit it out for the time being. Up front you've got the players who could make a difference and cause the opposition a few problems!

 

Fat Sam is odds-on across the board now, however, so has Hughton, Hughes and Setien been.

If FS does get the job, I hope it's on the proviso that Mullins is his number two, to be mentored. I think Mullins needs an experienced hand to call on. It'll be too much to expect the U23 coach to come in and save the day. The risk would be too great and it could destroy his career before it even gets started, having a relegation against his name.

 

Anyone have Big Sam's Relegation Survival Stats?

 

So true, the character of some of our players is void of any kind of positiveness

 

Wow. Fair play. You're really not allowing reality to grind you down.

 

I literally read your posts for the rational voice of happy Clappery, to give me hope. Now you've turned. There's a bully boy badge if you want it.

 

Surely there’s a spare wheely bin at the training ground?

 

Fat Sam now 4/9 favourite according to Skybet. Mullins 12/1

 

Silva sacked.

And yet I feel nothing. Thanks Watford.

 

He's coming home, he's coming home, Silva's coming home. Heard it here first.

I enjoyed this paragraph from the BBC;

"Portuguese Silva, 42, is the fifth managerial dismissal in the Premier League this season, after the departures of Javi Gracia - who had replaced Silva at Vicarage Road - and Quique Sanchez Flores from Watford, as well as Tottenham Hotspur's Mauricio Pochettino and Arsenal's Unai Emery.".

 

There's only so much happy clappery I can muster. For the first time, possibly ever, I wasn't that bothered about last night. I have Amazon Prime but never once thought about putting the game on. I kept an eye on the score but that was it and when Vardy scored I just sort of raised my eyebrows as if to say "oh well".
On the plus side, I had root canal dental treatment this morning so my agonising toothache has gone
If, as it seems now, we go for BFS, I hope we give the number two role to Mullins as somebody else has mentioned. My issue with BFS though is that I heard him the other day saying how the first thing to do is get some draws, stop losing and go from there. I'm not sure we have the time for that and really liked the team selection from last night and feel that's the way forward.
God I'm miserable about this

 

Allardyce favourite. Which might depress some until you realise Nigel Pearson is back in to second favourite.

 

A new low incoming...

 

I don't know why it would depress anyone. He's a great manager, and the most likely to dig us out of this mess

 

Agreed. Should of been installed already.

 

Pearson did well at Leicester (correct me if I'm wrong, Filbert), and it was his racist son who destroyed his career there.

 

Should have.

 

With Big Sam we have a real chance of staying up. End of.

 

If the Knight is now negative I don’t know where we go from here.......

 

Yep. Big Fat Sam is the only option to actually do this. Anyone else is a punt.

 

Allardyce has applied for the Watford job.


and told Gino his wage demands


Gino gave him a counter-offer


So the two are negotiating a compromise
