West Ham go on first and have interviewed Fonseca today. I wanted Fonseca don’t know why maybe champions league last 16 and winning the title on a regular basis. Winning mentality. I don’t know, but if silva comes in I would be happy with him to we all wanted him when we stuck £10mil to Watford for him so fingers crossed and it’s done swiftly.

I'm at a loss why people have given you the thumbs down Eddy everything you say makes sense from what's been said by a certain ED (can't put his number down or it won't get posted as he is having a break from our page) fonseca will sign an extension at Shakter which makes sense so I will happily give Silva the time he needs although I'm slightly disappointed we didn't go for Rafa.

15 May 2018 09:09:05
Everyone’s got a different view but I will be happy whoever comes in as manager as long as big Sam has gone. I want a youngish manager who we all give time to build a team and a styl that we can apply for a number of years.

15 May 2018 09:29:58
Rafa is to have a meeting this week if reports are to be believed and maybe the result of this meeting will have a bearing on our chances of luring him to the correct side of Merseyside. The top brass surely have a list of potential managers if and when SA is relieved of his duties and I'm sure Rafa will be high up on that list, well I'm hoping so anyways.

15 May 2018 10:32:48
hopefully bluegray87 my only concern is the window opens and closes early so we need to be proactive early on.

15 May 2018 10:42:58
I would love to see Rafa here Bluey mate.

14 May 2018 21:36:28
Reading between the lines it looks like a decision is coming on Wednesday/ Thursday.
Sam has said he expects Rooneys decision by Wednesday so expect that to be made once he has met with Moshiri and Kenwright.

14 May 2018 23:19:11
Willing to wait Smit if it means he's shown the exit, I think both Sam and Rooney will leave but let's see fingers crossed.

14 May 2018 01:30:14
I'm pretty sure allardyce is going, dad was speaking to Sammy Lee on Friday, they're old friends and he said as much. Think it will be Silva coming in. If it is let's all get behind him. Let's face it pretty much anyone will be a risk. Silva oozes class and I think he'll jump in head first and do a great job. If his head gets turned in a season or two then it will only mean he's doing a good job so will be beneficial to us.

14 May 2018 10:27:50
I don’t doubt you, but I’d be disappointed if club staff spoke about such matters - even to close friends - unless it was in the strictest confidence and certainly not before anything was officially announced.
Anyway, it’s pretty much an open secret - it’s just taking far too long for the club to get everything signed, sealed and delivered.

14 May 2018 11:15:13
He doesn't know for certain himself, he just said the vibe they're getting is that they're both going to be off.
Hopefully any day now!

14 May 2018 11:19:22
It's not been 24 hours since the last game. No rush.

14 May 2018 11:51:47
I think there is a rush, as we need the new management structure in place to make sure the pre-season is effective and the transfer window trading isn’t rushed at the last moment.

14 May 2018 11:59:05
Every hour that passes with Sam in charge is a wasted one.

14 May 2018 13:45:30
OllBlue1878: completely agree.

14 May 2018 15:15:17
So rush everything again and hope the chips fall in a good way this time? Or take zero notice of fans and do their job?

14 May 2018 15:24:23
The club has had months to be making arrangements, let alone enquiries, for the required changes. If they’re not fully prepared, then imho they’ve been derelict in their duty. If they haven’t been preparing - and have left themselves in a knee-jerk rushed situation - then dame on them.

14 May 2018 16:44:59
No rush I been waiting from the first day the idiot came, we need one now, he has to get his feet under the table, and sort the NEW squad out, and the back-room staff, it will soon be September.

14 May 2018 17:32:43
So let get me this straight. On one hand, the coach we've apparently been offering jobs to, whilst still working at another club possibly? Isn't right for the job because they've failed due diligence (likely because they still have a job to do) ?

And we want B.s. out before anyone has signed a contract?

And the new coach (Whoever) needs to get his feet under the table now? To sort the squad out?
The squad that's just finished for the summer? Or the new squad? Is 5his the squad the new coach puts together or is this the DOF job? Whoever that is?


Ok all makes sense. Rush it again upstairs!

14 May 2018 18:55:23
When FM appointed SA he knew it was for a temporary period. If in that time he has approached and agreed contractual terms with his chosen team, then cometh the hour it should all slip into place. If not then he is obviously not the business man we think he is. If he has already agreed appointments then those appointments themselves will be working in the background looking at the personnel they do or don't require before the start of the season (coaching and playing staff) . Surely FM will not let another RK scenario happen. I would not be surprised that when SA goes the new team is announced before the world cup starts.

14 May 2018 20:25:51
Nick, this is Everton. When have you known us do anything ahead of schedule?

14 May 2018 21:38:35
Yeah well probably why we are not in the top 6 and winning silverware. Those teams do plan ahead. Silly me to think we could as well :-)

15 May 2018 00:09:47
NickB57: exactly - we’re not advocating rushed panicky knee-jerk reactions; we want the club to have been carefully planning for a while and now carrying out these plans swiftly and effectively.
