Silva Confirmed as new manager

[Macca77]

It’s a wind up.

Fucks sake macca.

I know mate, some of the replies though, they're marvelous.

The one I liked was the about bringing Elton John along for a sing song.

I wasn't keen on Silva as manager in the first instance, but when appointed was happy to back him.

Personally I think him taking this job though is completely the wrong timing in where Everton are currently at, difficult to play the way he wants with many of these players who need shipping out. Maybe the Everton manager in three years time but not sure that time is now.

On the evidence of pre season results it's worrying, many of these players will be moved on in various transfer windows. I hope he gets given that time to get his own squad together which may be in 18 months/2 years time.

Think Silva will do well given the chance,  its to be seen whether he will be.  So far Moshiri hasn't shown much patience when things start to go wrong so it could be a difficult first 6 months for him.

[Shogun]

There's not much he can do at the moment, just needs to hope Brands gets the deals over the line.

[Bluedylan]

I think over time he'll be a good manager, but we might have a bit of a rocky road, until him and Brands have got the squad a bit more suitable to the desired style of play. When I say 'rocky road' I don't mean anywhere near relegation. Probably around the Top 10, with some good results and maybe the odd shocker.

Just want to constantly repost that Silva prematurely balding meme.

So many issues that it's impossible to rectify in one window. I reckon 12-18 months and we 'll start reaping the benefits.

I think the next few days will determine how rocky and how close to the relegation zone we are,  if we went into the season as we are now I think its a long few months until January,  even worst than going in with no striker like last year.

We're an absolute shambles at the minute and look like conceding every time we're attacked. Some people's heads are buried in the sand if they think are current defensive options are PL standard. Just hope people don't jump on Silva and/or Brands too early as they're cleaning up someone else's mess. We need 4 or 5 players in and fast.

Need to find a Delorean and get them in weeks ago.

A lot of shouts about Silva not having the players to play his way which may be true but he's not exactly a proven manager yet is he? could yet prove an awful choice, obviously very early days but first impression is he's a bit Koemanez..

I agree with the last bit especially.

Fuck it, I actually agree with all of it, unfortunately.
