Some people are so childish about players/managers who leave. Technically he was by a long way the best manager we’ve ever had, and probably will have. He’ll get a big job soon enough. Why should a manager show loyalty? If Everton hadn’t been interested but he’d gone on a bad run and lost a few games he still could have been sacked, that’s the way football is these days. It’s a career, and if you were in a career with virtually no job security you’d act the same way.
The team fell apart last season when it mattered, and they seem to think he's lost the team at Watford as well. If he was such a great 'technical' manager why was his away record so bad?
If he’d been there 2 years he’d absolutely have the right to want to speak with Everton. It was 9 games in and for me shows a huge error of judgement. He should’ve done a season, improve his stock further after having been relegated with us and then consider a move, instead he looks like an unprofessional mercenary who will jump for a bigger ship at the drop of a hat.
Considering the clown we had before Silva and the 2 even bigger clowns we have had since , I'm surprised at the amount of glee in his situation - the only guy that has made us barely watchable in the last 18 months
This. He didn’t seem to have any Plan B or resilience for the inevitable bumps in the road or tricky “must win” matches. It seems many of us are remembering marco’s marvellous first three months, and not the dreadful last three matches. He needs to sustain his initial great team performances across more than half a season in the premier league before he gets a chance at one of the “big” teams. But it seems he may have done enough to join the manager merry-go-round for now.
I agree, but their dish is being served cold - they’ll have the replacement lined up - the Everton fiasco will have boiled their piss. Edit: just read on and it seems to be the case.
