Silva confirmed. What do people think of this? Not my first choice, but still I am down for this. Let's get going Mr.Silva :)
-
Everything is finally in locked in place. Let's get on with the rebuilding.

Yep its done . Its done early and despite some reservations at least there is no fucking around . Hope the rest of our business over the summer follows suit but positive signs .
-
-
Honestly hope the trend of bringing players from previous positions doesn't happen here unless it is Richarlson or Dracoure. Can't stand to see another Martina, Robles, etc come with the manager because he is familiar with them
-
I'm very pleased and hopeful he'll be a great fit for us.
We've needed a manager who has a tactical plan, creates disciplined teams and likes to attack.
I'm looking forward to enjoying watching us again.

Cleverley looked okay at times too!! :)

His back-up team all confirmed on SSN ,no mention of Dunc yet . :wag:

Everyone's still too scared to tell Dunc his services are no longer required :snigger:

How long before his lovely dark hair turns grey?

............he's a lucky guy then.
-
Hard not to be excited when something new happens. We can start hoping again. Plenty of question marks but also plenty of positives in his career too.
I think he’ll do fine. Not exactly following much with allardyce koeman and Martinez.
-
Who are the back up team please?
-

He'll look lovely in silver. Just like me.

-
Happy enough with this. Regardless of those trying to put a negative spin on his PL record there's no doubt that he's highly regarded, ambitious and players who have worked with him speak highly of him and his methods. We've got him and Brands in early as well so they can now start working together to sort the squad (and no doubt moral) in time for the start of pre season.
-
Anyone reckon we'll get any players in before the World Cup?
You'd like to think Brands, Silva and the board have been in contact discussing such things before these official announcements like.
-

Good,the pigeons in his loft were all shitting themselves.
-
William Carvalho and Richarlison double swoop imminent
-
So much to be positive about ,the timing has been almost as fast as they could ,so no problem there .They have obviously had a few locked horn sessions and seem to be happy with each other reading off the same page .They both want to bring youth through ,if they are up to it and they both want us to attack .Off to battle with the bishop -back in two minutes.

William Carvalho and Richarlison double swoop imminent
Calvalho looks a certainty

I reckon brands and silva have this all planned ahead in advance.

He'll be the only one. :whistle:

Also, this has defo been happening for a while. Brands' interview about him on the OS was carried out at PSV last week.
-
William Carvalho and Richarlison double swoop imminent
I dont get the Richarlison thing if im honest, they'd want an absolute fortune for him and when ive seen him play he hasnt looked particularly great. I get that hes still young, but it looks like he has a long way to go to make it to the top.
-
The goalkeeper coach he’s bringing is apparently from Benfica where he’s worked with Oblak and Ederson.
That bodes well.
-
I'll be disappointed if there isn't a Portuguese wonderkid in the squad within 6 months.

im so excited you know.... MARCO AND MARCEL'S BLUE ARMY.

Welcome aboard, Ke-mo sah-bee - ForEverTontonian!

Nothing But The Best to you, Marco - a Brands new start!
Looking forward to it

Zidane didn’t get his application in on time!

Sagres and Heineken on tap please.

Like to see him given time and patience from our fans and board alike. He wants us to play football again, it will take time, especially with the group of players we have. We saw last year that a lot of changes doesn't always make instant success.
We do need a whole new spine in our team, but we have a lot of deadwood on high wages which will be hard to shift. Would like to see gradual improvement, better football and for us to have a go at the top six, not expecting miracles. But wish him all the best at our great club.

Grounded reaction from seamus,saying we as a group of players have got to keep the manager in his job.

is true and that takes some balls to say, wonder who specifically he's talking about?

im so excited you know.... MARCO AND MARCEL'S BLUE ARMY.
I must admit I'm getting more excited and have a better feeling with this silva/brands appointment than I have with any other appointment going back a long time
-
I'm attempting to suppress it a bit, because of the bitter experience of recent years, but I think this is going to be an excellent appointment.
I think he's really talented, and we've just got him at a stage when he has a point to prove. He's been at a couple of basket case clubs in England so far. I think this might be a nice convergence of the right job at the right time, for him and us.

First thing he needs to do is make Coleman captain. Jags had been great, but it's time to move on. Love this article from Seamus

I’d rather the manager and DOF made that decision based on what they see day in day out.

Not my choice other, but neither where Allardyce or Martinez.
I'm right behind him. Sexy football SHOULD be back.

-
Please please please please give him time.
I can be as bad as anyone on here when it comes to knee jerk reactions, but if we get off to bad start, we need to help pull them up not start lambasting them st the first opportunity.
We’ve seen what a toxic Goodison can do to a side, it’s literally sapping for them. We’ve also seen what an absolutely frothing at the mouth, shaking the girders, calling out the opposition players for straighteners any time they look the wrong way at an Everton player Goodison can do to a side as well. A player with an out-for-blood Goodison behind him grows a foot in height and another in length.
Clean slate from me now. Back this lot and they’ll pay us back, I know they will. Up the fucking toffees.

Marco and Marcel
M&M's a re always a good thing. Think the toffee girls can start throwing those to the crowd?
He looks younger and fitter than Jags to be fair.
-
Martinez was also connected to the fans, not to be a complete fucking downer though.
Difference was Martinez was all style, he himself said the way the team plays is more important than results. Silva said in his very first interview that style is important but in the end you are judged by the results (or words to that effect). So he seems far more pragmatic.
-
Yeah I think Marco is a bit less delusional than Martinez
-
This will have been agreed months ago no doubt, he probably already knows what and who he wants. Looking forward to seeing how we'll set up etc, it's definitely going to be better to watch.
-

Martinez didn't work on set pieces or pressing the opposition etc, very slow build up play etc. He was crap
-
Really pleased to hear him talking about age not being a factor and I've heard this about him from former players too.
That's a really positive thing for Holgate in particular and possible Robinson if he impresses pre-season. DCL could have a part of play but not as a starter and Davies should become a much better footballer on the ball.
I don't think Dowell particularly fits anywhere though.

I’m liking what he’s saying he’s highly regarded by his past players and is meticulous with his planning for tactics and wants his players fit and working hard without the ball. I really am hopeful for the future but we all need to give him a long time in my opinion as a lot of the players he’s inheriting are not what he’d want to implement his philosophy
-

Martinez biggest weakness was he couldn’t close a game out, we were forever most vulnerable in the last 15 minutes.

Given how Dowell’s season tailed off and seemingly got some stick, I just can’t see how he shouldn’t be loaned out again.
We don’t particularly like players who look lackadaisical as it is, and that would only be worse if a player only appears every now and again as they wouldn’t ever get up to speed.

If we were to play a 4-2-3-1, as he has elsewhere at times, couldn't Dowell be the understudy to Gylfi in the AM role, playing some cup games and coming off the bench sometimes?

The Brands interview was interesting, it must have been filmed the same time the DoF was unveiled.
Sounds like a lot of work and planning has been going on behind the scenes, let's just hope we have a decent transfer window and form a team that gels much better than last season's.

I hope a lot of transfer targets have already been identified and we move quickly

He would never admit he was wrong either.. Drove me up the fuckin wall he did.. Fine margins, intensity, phenomenonal... But never I got it wrong.

He liked everybody and would never say anything off the cuff or have a random spat at anyone. Nice guys finish last.

Dowell was moved to the wing apparently. Even his manager said it was the most likely reason it affected his game. Who knows how he would have been if he'd carried on centrally.

So to complete splogniff's like Allardyce.

Baines would probably disagree with that.
I don't think he was a nice guy, I reckon he'll be the type that on the outside comes across as a decent sort but behind the scenes was a bit of a stubborn cunt who wouldn't listen to anyone's suggestions or feedback and would actually take it as criticism if they did. It's not like there was a line of players coming out and supporting him and saying they'd miss him when he's gone, in fact if rumours were true it was the opposite and he'd lost most of the players.
-
Happy with this. Chance he will be gone within a year or two, as the below Guardian article makes clear, but hopeful that Everton will be fun to watch again in the meantime.
Am a little concerned about how well he will work with a DOF, as apparently some of his dissatisfaction at Watford was the result of his limited influence over transfers.

He has worked as a director of football, so he is not alien to the concept of it. Im sure him and Brands have been talking since December.

I get your points there mate but what I was referring to was more in line with his press conferences where he told anyone who would listen how good everyone was and how phenomenal such a player is as well as talking the opposition up with the upmost respect to them, and yes we should respect the top six teams but we shouldn’t fear them, after all we are still a bigger club than most teams in the prem.
-
This is quite an enthusiastic and positive assessment of Silva from three former players. All his ex-players seem to rate him very highly, which can only be a positive thing. Reading this has made me more relaxed and hopeful about his appointment. We shall see soon enough. :)

-
That’s a good read and a lot of positives should be taken out of that article, he seems to be a born winner and a leader. Only downfall is his need to move clubs but now that he’s at a big club with money to spend and a progressive business plan in place with seasoned professionals around him I think he’ll be here for quite a while. Here’s hoping anyway. COYB
-
I like that Silva has a lot more to lose reputationally by failing than either Koeman or Allardyce did; both could fail here and still be looked at for other decent football jobs. For Koeman, his success as Southampton and his personal reputation as a player were enough to make sure he's able to get manager jobs even if he didn't perform here. In Allardyce's sense, the jobs he's apt to take (relegation fodder) would be his this coming season whether or not you view his term here a success or not. No doubt Silva's got skin in the game with this appointment. He fails and his own reputation would take a massive hit.
The other sense is that you felt like both Koeman and Allardyce could be arsed whether or not they took the Everton job; Koeman didn't seem to want it initially and same with Allardyce. Silva wants this.

-

I think that has more to do with Watford and the Pozzo structure, managers there have very limited influence and they end up changing their manager at least once a season anyway.
Silva should have more influence at Everton but he should also be able to work better with Brands - assuming the communication between the two has been solid in the last few weeks.

Do Watford have a DOF? I thought it was just their owner deciding to bring players in from one of his other clubs all the time?
-
Can we have Silva on the opening app page now? Sick of seeing that cheesy grin from Koeman.
-
One of the most impressive performances I've seen was Watford away at Newcastle last season.
They won 3-0 and you'd have thought they were the home side.
I know Newcastle are shit like but I can't remember the last time we went away anywhere and played like that.
That's the sort of thing I'm really hoping he replicates here.

I'm optimistic.
Last season's highlights for me were all off the pitch, pre-season - that was when i was excited and proud to be an Evertonian.
How fucking bad is that? I am confident that I will have reasons to cheer once the season has started this year as well.
I work in a place that employs people from all over the world to deliver service to customers all over the world and last season it felt like every PL team and European team that beat us - someone would come and rub my nose in it. Well fuck that - stick it up 'em Marco.
We've been too long without any Silva at this club.

Ah right, fair enough.
-

My point was not that he did not like working under a DOF at Watford but that he was unhappy with the level of control he had over transfers, and similarly, the presence of a DOF at Everton will also limit his control over transfers at Everton. But you are right; the situations at Watford and Everton are different. Hopefully this will be a non-issue.
-
I’m sure most of you have seen this, but it’s pretty enlightening, especially the realisation that he got Cleverley playing far more effectively than most of us thought possible (it also highlights the paucity of real quality that he had to work with at Vicarage Road, Richarlison and Doucouré apart)
-

There's a lot more to it than you're making out, as if we weren't interested.
His people got in touch to express an interest in our "project". But that by no means indicates either party were in a position to move on a deal in October/November. In fact from what I heard Simeone's people had said they wold be interested in discussing the situation at the end of the season. Since then Simeone has signed a new deal at Atletico, so was it merely a double bluff from his representatives to move along those negotiations? Also, we were clearly in talks with Brands (his quotes suggest 2 years of talks), so you have to take into account his opinion and decision, perhaps he doesn't see Simeone as suiting our project?
In short, there are numerous reasons as to why this didn't happen, so there's really no need for the "wtf" disbelief response and the comment on Allardyce over him, as that's quite clearly far too simplistic a statement.
-
Makes me laugh that, they sacked him, why the fuck should they get any compo

We were prepared to pay 12m compo, I'm sure we'll be fine whatever we need to fork out.

Yes, I agree.
It’s verging on Kopshite behaviour.
-
Still don't think there's anything to worry about. The fact the Premier League have been notified but told us to try and sort it ourselves suggests they still see it as minor issue and would rather not get involved.
-
We were prepared to pay 12m compo, I'm sure we'll be fine whatever we need to fork out.
I think so as well however they have been a bit Johnny come lately with their request for compo, they should have taken up the claim at the time of the approach. Since then we moved on and appointed Sam they accepted that and moved to dismiss silva of their own accord and now that we have Sacked Sam and moved to appoint a manager who was sacked from his previous appointment (Silva) it just seems a wee bit rich that they have decided to come for the compo now. Fuck them.
-
I have to say, I couldn't be less arsed or interested in the compo thing. The clubs will sort it between themselves, and it'll be a relatively small amount compared to the other amounts we've layed out in the last couple of years.
The club's done the right thing, appointing him and getting on with things. Do Watford have the right to some compo? Maybe. Who gives a fuck. It's a billionaire arguing with multi-millionaires over a few quid.

In the words of Boris Johnson.. Go whistle!! Tell them to fuck off. What can they actually do when they sacked the fella?

Well presumably they can say that we made an illegal approach to their manager, which altered his performance and destabilised their season, costing them money and a higher finishing place. Seems quite straight forward.

Not sure of the sequence of events actually but did not Man UTd. De-stabilise us by telling Moyes he had the job, don’t sign a new contract and keep stumm ? Think the Watford thing should go to a court of Law,
would like to see how they could possibly prove that we cost them money by de stabilising them, it’s a simple case of an illegal tap up, it’s happened loads of times , our neighbours are world class at it, there are precedents for the penalty and it is nowhere near in the millions.
-
On Everton's YouTube channel it looks like there will be a press conference featuring Brands and Silva on Monday, be interesting to hear more from them

We were rebuffed so the drop in performance is circumstantial at best. If Spurs start being poor is that because RM came knocking? Thinking and proving in law are two different beasts. I'd still tell them to swivel.

Genuinely no idea why people are bothered about this.
-
I'm sure the compo thing will be sorted.
You'd hope Watford won't want to drag it out as much as Everton don't.
You'd imagine part of his contract termination at Watford had some kind of compensation clause owed to Watford should another club take him on in the next X amount of years, in return for a favourable severance package for Silva.
We paid it to Palace for Sam (although he quit, not got sacked) so I reckon we'll be ok to pay it for Silva.
-
There's a lot more to it than you're making out, as if we weren't interested.
His people got in touch to express an interest in our "project". But that by no means indicates either party were in a position to move on a deal in October/November. In fact from what I heard Simeone's people had said they wold be interested in discussing the situation at the end of the season. Since then Simeone has signed a new deal at Atletico, so was it merely a double bluff from his representatives to move along those negotiations? Also, we were clearly in talks with Brands (his quotes suggest 2 years of talks), so you have to take into account his opinion and decision, perhaps he doesn't see Simeone as suiting our project?
In short, there are numerous reasons as to why this didn't happen, so there's really no need for the "wtf" disbelief response and the comment on Allardyce over him, as that's quite clearly far too simplistic a statement.
That story is the first I've heard of anyone from his camp expressing any interest in joining us, so the rest of what you wrote I have no idea about and the article didn't mention it. I know we've had fanciful ideas of him joining us, but that's all I thought they were.
-
Makes me laugh that, they sacked him, why the fuck should they get any compo
Here is how Watford fans view it. Try from page 23 onwards.

If you are from Liverpool you may want to swerve this, some of the comments aren't very favourable.

I'll state here and now that I dont think Silva is going to be the man for us and the huge rebuilding job required.
Hearing a lot of good things about him but something about his history tells me he's not going to be the long-term solution.
My money is definitely on 1-2 years max and then we'll be back to square one again. I just hope I'm totally wrong.

You don't really get long term solutions anymore. They almost all do 2/3 years, if they get that far. Brands is the long term solutions guy.

I can't remember more cases of "I hope he proves me wrong" than there has been over the last couple of weeks.

Or Duncan Ferguson, well he has survived 4 managerial changes.
No

Sorry lads, my dad says Silva is shite, we're shite, the whole club is shite and is going nowhere.
He's the bitterest blue you will ever meet by the way, proper old school bitter, his hatred for everything red is stronger than ever, he's supported Everton for over 65 years, but has fell completely out of love with them, proper fed up with all things Everton at the moment, never thought I'd hear him say that.
-
Joint press conference with Marcel Brands at 2pm today - be nice to hear what they have to say and hopefully, get some more positive news.

"He's a bit like Hitler really. The Germans didn't like him either...... but they came around in the end"

He's 40 years old. Going over his long career as a manager so far you've managed to convince yourself he's not the man for the job. Unbelievable.
-

Pretty sure he’s only looking at the pattern of his career to date.
He’s been a manager for 7 years and we’re his 6th club, he’s had a new club every season for the past 5.
It’s not the sort of record that indicates a long term stay is it?

As ever the devil is in the detail.
There's only been one job that he's left under any sign of a cloud, which was Olympiakos citing 'personal reasons.' The rest all have valid explanations attached to them which stand up to scrutiny.

Surely Watford?
And I’m pretty sure he was sacked at Sporting for falling out with the board.
Whichever way you look at it he’s not a fella to stick around so saying he’s unlikely to be here past 2 years is a fair estimate.
-
Which is why we have Brands. The manager is not as critical as it once used to be. Brands overseas the long term objectives, while the manager merely acts them out.
Moyes used to do both jobs. Now Brands does a big part and Silva another part.
Apparently, between the two of them, their wages are not as much as we were paying the fat one last season. Brands on 2 mill a year, Silva on 3 mill.
-
If he does 2 or 3 years and leaves us in a decent position then it’s been a successful. Short term is fine as long as they do well

Sporting sacked him because they wanted to hire Jorge Jesus and needed an excuse to get rid.
They decided to use the 'breaking club policy' related to a game back in December where he didnt wear the club suit

He’s well aware of the ‘criticisms’ regarding longevity. Pleasing to hear him refer to 3 years and beyond (if it goes well) and the ambition that we sold to him.

I have serious doubts that top end professionals we pay in millions share club secrets with random strangers and then pose for pics to legitimise their claims. If he wants a pic he’s gonna share it and if he’s sharing it he’s sharing the secret that apparently came with it. Silva would have to be a genuine retard for this story to be true

One of the things noted about Silva by numerous journos who've dealt with him on the regular, is that he gives absolutely nothing away and is evasive when questioned. We saw an example of this when he was asked about the Watford stuff in his unveiling press conference. So nah, he's not telling some baggage handler who he's buying.
-

We have Brands and Silva for a million less than what fat Sam and Koeman were on. We're paying our management team more sensible wages. Now we must apply it to our playing staff too.
-
Fair play to Silva for accepting half of what our last two managers were on. I know his reputation has taken a hit recently but it would have been easy for him to point at those dinosaurs with their terrible ideas about how to play football and ask for parity (or something close).
As an aside, I like the fact that we're getting him at what might be considered a low point in his admittedly young career. It's extra satisfying to see a player or coach who's lost his way realize his potential at your club and hopefully that's how it'll play out for him here.

Apparently it costs money to change the image. Ask Si.
Better off changing it to something that will never change like the logo or something.
How about our stadium then?

Obviously this could all go tits up but I think there's reason for cautious optimism here. This seems like a plan that Everton actually wanted to put in place six months ago. I think the key will be trying to keep patience and that's every Evertonian's biggest failing.
-
A slow, bad start and the masses will soon point to his Hull and Watford stint.
Unless something drastically goes wrong he needs 12 months just to implement his style.

I don’t really think that’s true. Think he’s in a very strong position with the fans. We all accept the squad is a mess. If it’s still a mess and the new signings look poor brands will take some of the blame
I think everyone will happily give him a year assuming it’s not truly dreadful.

Agree with what you say except for the time element, I'd say two full years, the team is in a hell of a mess.
-
In total agreement with both the aforementioned. ..he's gonna need time to rebuild us .. I honestly hope he gets it .
-
He'll get time (as long as we're not in the relegation zone or summat). Not concerned about that. Think people will be surprised by how quickly we improve. Silva and Brands both realise we have plenty of talented 1st teamers, and plenty of talented kids. And Silva's known for improving players, so I think the priorities lie with trimming the squad of all the excess, and working with what we've got (with 2 or 3 key additions).

Roll on being entertained again.

As long as I can bear to watch Everton matches again he gets my backing.
Would literally have rather watched any other team in the league than us last season. Heartbreaking stuff at times.

Connolly could become an excellent squad player with the right management.
Plays anywhere across the backline*, is strong in the air, and looks like a genuine goal threat from set pieces.
* He played defensive midfield for Mick McCarthy's Ipswich last season but I'm not sure how much potential he has in that role because Mick McCarthy is exactly the sort of guy who would play a natural defender in midfield.

Might be some truth in that. As we had to sell Deulofeu back to Barcelona as part of their buy back option, we may have been able to insert some clauses like this if they were to sell him on. Could be a way of ending this little issue with Watford if true.
-
dont know if any of it's true...but was told as aprt of the conversation that there was a sell on clause somewhere in the very original deal between barca and everton...that EFC...instigated...

Barca's "buy back clause" did have a time limit stating that if he was sold in (i think?) 12 months by them, then we were to be paid.
but that is between us and Barca, not the buying club.

Then, if you can come up with an answer - one that does not generalise a crowd of people or their demographic (maybe it's become a renown area of south asian cuisine in the 3 months since i was last there, i dont know) - you need to ask why this specific food item and it's origin was chosen specifically for its aroma and has been put on the same level as urine.

While at goodison it was scouse pies and oxo in a cup you could smell.
I don't know where you're smelling scouse pies at Goodison. They stopped selling them when they switched to Wrights as the pie supplier. Used to love a decent scouse pie as well.
Ironically, the shite still sell them at the shithole, even though you'd struggle to find a fucking scouser in there.
-
Never had Scouse pie. Not even sure what it is.

The scouse pies that they used to sell at the match aren't proper scouse. A big pan of proper homemade scouse cannot be replicatec or beaten. Chuck the leftover scouse in a bit of pastry and it's the food of winners.
If you ask anybody in Liverpool, they will always tell you that nothing can beat a pan of homemade scouse and that their ma's scouse is the best in the world.
It's really just a stew made from leftover vegetables and meat from the Sunday roast dinner. It's absolutely fucking awesome when it served with red cabbage or beetroot and a load of fresh crusty bread.

Everybody over here always takes the piss out of British food, but there's a lot of it I really miss. Yorkshire puddings, proper roasties, bubble and squeak.

so onion bhajis dont smell ? Piss doesnt smell ? but the mention of hotdogs is ok then ? Maybe if you try and look deeper and deeper some of our european cousins maybe offended too, ffs
Surely it’s the suggestion that people who eat them are a lower class of person. Like people who piss themselves

My mums meat to potatoe ratio in a pan of scouse is a disgrace tbh.

You could serve my mam's scouse in a Michelin star restaurant. It's the stuff of legend in our family.

My dad does the scouse in our house.
That and spag Bol, everything else is my ma’s territory.

Me dads scouse is immense

Maggie Mays in Bold St. does a decent scouse if it's still there but can't compare to home-made. Trouble is the sort of Ma's who make scouse are dying out lads so look after 'em.

Nonetheless, British food is still taken the piss out of. Most people don't eat at fancy restaurants either.
I like British food, so I really don't care. In fact, it's great. I get all the Marmite to myself, all the Branston Pickle, salad cream and other stuff.
Peanut butter and jelly is disgusting. And I can't stand Italian food either. Pasta and tomatoes are shite.

I don’t agree that British food is taken the piss out of, by who ? the lard arsed Americans raised on mega portion full fat burgers and fried chicken? and FYI marmite, Branson pickle and salad cream has fuck all to do with British Cuisine, we have great chefs cooking traditional cuisine, Rick Stein, Brian Turner, James Martin, Jamie Oliver , Gordon Ramsay and dozens more, theres one half decent chef in America that is an Austrian, Wolfgang Puch, started out o.k but has now moved into steak house and Pizza franchises because that’s where the money is in a Trumpland.

It's taken the piss out of by the French as well. Big time. It's something I've always come across in my travels overseas, British food has a poor reputation. I think it stems from the fact we had to ration everything during and after the war. The reputation still exists. Boiling the fuck out of potatoes and veggies is a big one for example.
I know the foods I mentioned aren't true British food either. That's just the stuff I can get on a fairly regular basis that I like from Britain.
And how many meals have you eaten by those chefs you mention anyway? That's a different class of food altogether anyway.

served with a buttered bread roll and a bottle of Frascatti, steak and kidney pie, agreed a great English dish, toad in the hole, nice if you have quality sausages in it, but I equally enjoy a good boerawoerst off a decent Braai in S,A.

Your general Indian restaurant is usually homegenous - a bit like if you had a European restaurant and just picked one dish from each country and repeated the formula everywhere.
Certainly outside of London you don’t seem to see too many regional restaurants, although you do get some South Indian ones these days, but they provide much more variety than just “curry”.

Yep, forfeited any right to compensation, so it's not about the money.

If they do indeed have evidence that we breached the rules, then we’re fucked and will probably get fined/points deducted. We might be able to get the FA to brush it under the carpet but highlighting other instances where this has occurred and teams haven’t been punished and the FA not acted accordingly. FA might want this to go away.

I don’t think the FA will be interested in it as Watford didn’t follow proper procedures
-
Watford FC feels compelled to make the following statement in a bid to correct erroneous and misleading media reports concerning an ongoing dispute with Everton FC.
The club have made an official complaint to the Premier League over an allegation of an illegal approach to former manager, Marco Silva.
The complaint to the Premier League makes clear the seriousness of the allegation and what the club believes is overwhelming evidence of a clear breach of Premier League rules.
At the request of the Premier League we entered into mediation with Everton in a process that involved club officials and their respective legal teams, with no conclusion being reached.
Therefore the disciplinary process continues. In pursuing its disciplinary claim, the club has known from the outset it forfeited any right to compensation as a consequence of not following a proposed arbitration process.
We believe this situation is not about a compensation figure but the principle of making a stand when the actions of one Premier League club completely undermine and cause intrinsic damage to a fellow member club.
We trust in the Premier League to fully investigate the complaint and we will comply with that process.
The club will be making no further comment

The complaint should have been made at the time - not months after his sacking. A good lawyer should be able to defend this easily - just look at point above, Watford's actions with previous managers plus the fact that they have forfeited compensation.
-
This is quite spiteful, to be honest.
They are basically saying they want us to have points deducted.
That is no way for a fellow football club to conduct themselves.
It’s Kopite behaviour.

It's exactly what they're after.
I hope the don't have any grounds for it as starting the season on minus points will be shit.
It's never happened to any other premier league club as far as I can remember, would just be our luck though
-
We've obviously done something very wrong here.
Apart from worse case scenario points deduction (which I doubt we’ll get) all this negative publicity heaps more pressure on Silva to be an instant success because the media and pundits will be jumping all over him/us and asking questions right from the start.
What is interesting is iirc the club media friendly journalists at the time were quick to distance Kenwright from the managerial hunt.

There is no way we will get a points deduction, if we've genuinely done wrong then we will get our legs slapped and be told not to do it again

Nobody had ever been banned after the fact for diving ....so we are deffo a club for firsts. .....especially when it means the fa have to make an example of someone ....
I mean they can't be giving band id points deductions to one of the media darlings .
-
If every team was to get a points deduction for dubious activity, then Liverpool would have won the league by September - as we all know they have never done anything wrong, ever. It would be just our luck for us to be an example, a-la the Niasse dive ban.

David Moyes went to Alex Fergusons house to be told he's in line for the United job
There's nothing in this

players/managers get tapped up every fucking season, don't see clubs getting done., apart from players from academy's , when Clubs offer parents cash and schooling etc. to move clubs......
wouldn't bet against us being the 1st though....TWATS

"We go live to the FA where a special panel of former and current figures within the game are debating on whether Everton should be deducted points in regards to their approach for Marco Silva.... the 5 man panel consisting of Danny Murphy, John Aldrige, Sam Allardyce, Steven Gerrard and Mark Lawrenson will reveal their verdict shortly....."

Don’t think we have.
And don’t think the media will be interested once the season starts and there are plenty of real things to talk about so can’t see any pressure being raised that wouldn’t be there anyway.
They’re just saving face because they made a fuss and have now realised that they can’t get any money from it and don’t want to look like they’ve been cheaply fobbed off as part of the Richarlison deal.

If we don’t start well and this is rumbling on in the background the media will definitely start using the “was he worth it” narrative.
Watford clearly feel they’ve got some sort of case and they’re pushing the league to judge on it, whether they have or not only time and an investigation will tell I suppose. The sooner it’s sorted the better for all parties.
-
"catalyst" my arse
-
They're a bit green when it comes to how football really operates and clearly like to be in the limelight. Ignore them and once they lose their first few games of the season they'll have more pressing matters.

Yeah it would be better if it just went away.
Anyway let hope we have a good start so it’s irrelevant :)
-
They've had 9 managers in 5 years, that tells a story itself.

Someone needs to get one of the lids to go down there and remind them that snitches get stitches.

Yeah agree, think it was actually a walk-back reading between the lines.
Not pursuing everton, happy to leave it to the league to handle.
I’m sure they wouldn’t mind if we got a point ban but I really can’t see it like.

We'd still finish above them if we did get a points ban.

I get the impression you want us to be found wrong and Silva to be under pressure, might be wrong like but that's how it comes across

If they get anything we should remind the fa about Pogba "grooming" lukaku last year lolol
In the real world we will be absolved ....but the fa don't work in the real world at times .

We're right on pace for that... 5 in 3
-
I suspect that we probably were a bit out of order in this matter. It has happened to us in other ways, getting bullied by bigger/richer clubs.
So then I suppose it comes down to a personal opinion whether you think we should rise above these things and not stoop to the level of some other clubs, or whether you think 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
-
I still believe we have already been punished anyway. We had Fat Sam for several months. What more do they want?
-

That would be a fantastic counter claim. We could demand that Watford re-imburse us for the fat cunt's pay-off due to them acting like complete twats when we decided we wanted their manager and forcing us to employ that fucking corrupt lard arsed gravy swigging bastard.
-
If this had happened the other way 'round we'd be furious with Watford, and quite probably rightly so.

Happens all the time to our players. Lukaku to be the latest, soon it will Pickford and then Richarlison.
Just a shame it didnt happen to Allardice....

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

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.

A lot of drama we've been poor pre season but it's not a relegation team. We'll still be comfortably top half because there's some fucking shite in the Premier league. A few signings and we'll make a decent fist of it.

Without any cb signings the only fist we 'll see is mine being shaken towards the players

I don't think we're a relegation candidate but it's surprising how quickly things can change. Fulham are on the crest of a wave, made good signings on the face of it, similar to wolves so newly promoted teams aren't the guaranteed strugglers as before, whereas we seem to be nearer the bottom of the wave and in a bit of a state.

I'd be inclined to agree with that. That was one of my reservations about Silva.
When Martinez came in he had a well drilled defence amd tinkered with a good squad by injectiing some pace with Deulofeu and Lukaku in what was an already well assembled squad left by Moyes.
No way can Silva come to Everton and tinker with this side and get them playing expansive football.
This is why this job might be too soon for Silva. The characteristics of a manger we need at this moment in time to deal with the bottle merchants we have is not the one I see in Silva. Going by the way Silva left Watford when matters starting spiraling away from him, he clearly was less motivated to carry on once our interest became apparent and combine that with the players he currently has here you could see things turning negative and him walking away. Anyway hope i'm wrong and it all works out fine.

Two quick truths :
1. Pre season means fuck all
2. We’ve looked this porous and with this lack of control for more than 2 seasons now, and so far in pre season there’s nothing to convince anyone we’ve managed to fix the problems we have.

We seem to have played very few games this pre-season. Don't know if we have it just seems that way.

I'd say 3 seasons. And in that time we've had 5 managers.

He didn't leave Watford 'when matters started spiraling away from him', as you put it.
'Matters started spiraling away' because he wanted to leave Watford and wanted to come here.
It's an important distinction. Your characterisation would mean that he was a rat deserting a sinking ship, when actually him wanting to get off the ship was what caused it to sink.
-
Based on?
Based on he's not proven at all yet that he's any good, wouldn't know what any other conclusion could be based on really, though with the state of the team ability wise, and mind set, he dosen't have an envious task ahead. Just got to hope he's up to it..
-
We need to be patient and give him time. It’s going to be rough and ugly but it will take time to turn things round.

I agree.
But I'm tired of thinking everything is okay because there's so much fuckin shite in this league. That's not a good position to be in. It just means we're closer to the shit then the top 6. And it's just a matter of time before we become that shit.

If the desired signings don’t materialise within the next nine days we’re already there mate
