After reading the sensible posts below about realistically how long this rebuild process of our team would take, i had a good laugh to myself to think that some posters thought this was going to be a quick fix and even taking as long as one or two seasons at most, everyone at Everton from Mr Moshir, Bill and the board along with Marco and Marcel have all said there is no quick fix, we have all heard this from the horses mouth so get real this as some of the Eds keep repeating is going to take a good few windows before we get anywhere near remotely close to the finished team, in the meantime everyone needs to chill out and above all be patient, there is one excuse though I have been expecting to read but hasn't happened is that this is all Bill's fault lol, in the meantime let's be thankful we don't have Big Sam or Koeman anywhere near the team now.

Also forgot to mention the Quality of the players being brought into the Club under Marco and Marcel now, just compare to what was brought in by our previous two so called Managers no contest, be thankful we can even compete now in the market thanks to Mr Moshiri and the Board we are very lucky to have them.

Tell you what GB. I believe that Mr Silva is and was a bad choice and someone somewhere has made a huge mistake in A. Choice of advisor. B. Listening and taking that advice and C. Hiring Mr Silva based on that advice. Do you remember Bill Kenwrights reasons for hiring Mr Martinez, there were two of them A. Wigan beat us 3-0 on the way to the FA Cup and B. Wigan won the FA Cup, no mention of their constant flirt with relegation and his finally taking them down. I really hope that Mr Silva can change into the Messiah a lot of you believe even though the evidence is not there, so far all I see is after 6 months it is all unfolding the same as at his last two Premiership Clubs.

Agree GB. Regardless of what happens to the manager in the short or long term, the team is of a higher quality already from what it was last season. We have replaced Williams with Mina. Baines with Digne. Bolasie with Richarlison. Add to that Gomes and Zouma on loan and we are much better equipped. Once they all knit together we will be much improved.

Exactly it's not Rocket Science is it Smit mate!, Give them time DFS Marco and Marcel will get it right but as I and many keep telling the few non believers on here we were in an awful state and it's going take time, BELEIVE.

Ducks Fly South. Brands had a hand in agreeing to Silva coming on board. Does this mean you do not think Brands is a good acquisition too?
Im not sure how up until the Liverpool game it all looked like it was unfolding like his last jobs. We are going through a sticky handful of games. This happens to most teams over the period of a season.

To make a judgment that it is all unraveling after 5/ 6 games, 2 of which were City and Spurs is definitely a bit knee jerk.

I just can't see how before this period anyone could foresee anything but an improvement on the last 4 seasons.

I have said what I said smit and stand by it. His stats are worse than Alardyce, the same as Watford, not checked Hull, perhaps you would like a go. Olimpiakos, , he did Brill anyone would do well there. I played for Hong Kong and combined services and I was crap, what does that tell you, totally different level. This fella will go the same way as Martinez and end up managing somewhere like Belgium where he cannot lose. You refer to brands, you know as well as I, that it was not just Brands. Brands has really good contacts but out of respect and professionalism, he just cannot go rip off his old Clubs or disrespect contacts. Brands is a very good acquisition, Silva is not.

Sadly I brlieve that Moshiri has not got a clue how to pick a manager and all the money in the world will not take us back to the top without the right leader.
Clubs who have spent and failed, let's start with Leeds been as low as the third tier. They spring to mind.
So many big clubs just spiral down because the owner will eventually stop spending that worries me.

I think a bit of perspective about who we have signed and who signed them I personally don't think we have signed players that are so much better than some of our previous managers. They have been good signings but we did sign some good players under both Koeman and SA aswell. What I do like is we are trying to get players coming into/ at their peak or players with great potential.

Not sure who I'm replying to here DFS or BCT?

The problem with all the 'I told you soers' is that they are nowhere to be seen when we are playing well and we look a good side. No posts, no replies. Nothing to moan about so why contribute.

As soon as we hit a sticky patch they are all of a sudden mystical football genuises and very active on here. They can't wait to say 'I told you he was rubbish'.
Well if we win the next couple of games they will no doubt scuttle away until the next sticky patch.

But they are allowed their opinion like everyone else, and if they are right I am sure they will be on here letting us know how they had it sussed from the start.
But if they're wrong and Silva does well then I am sure we will hear very little from the I told you soers.

There are only two three mate a very very small minority to the amount of posters on here but hey everyone has an opinion and that's what makes this site so good even if a couple are so negative lol.

Smit, I have various devices, I use BCT as my main one and believe it or not Ducksflysouth on my main comp. I do not believe, I have ever said I told you so nor have I insulted anyone. I initially applauded the recruitment of Koeman but decried Martinez from the very start for the same reasons I decry the appointment of Silva. If Silva does prove to be a winner I will readily admit I was wrong. There are many reasons I believe he (Silva) was hired, same for Alardyce as it happens. Obvious if you think about it.

Well your previous replies and posts DFS are all over the place, showing no sign of patience with the club.

You post negativity at the everton highrachy 2 weeks into the summer transfer window because they haven't made a signing then weeks later you back Silva because he has signed 2 Brazilians. Now we are back on the negativity about Silva because things aren't going well.

You championed Dyche for the job and you would have us watching the mind numbing football he would have subjected us to.
No thanks, not for me, but each to their own eh.

A. I backed Brands for the signings but also said and still maintain we paid a premium for Richarlison because of our tapping up of their Manager. As mentioned many times Brands is the one we need, the bloke has good contacts. I think that Dyche would still do a good job at a Club like ours with the resources at hand. My preference though if a vacancy became available (like many others) would be for Benitez, he could take us to the next level. All this though is irrelevant as we have a Manager already. Incidentally if boring football enabled us to finish consistently in the top 6 I would take it. Football is a results business. Not for me such utterly stupid statements as 'I would rather see us relegated playing good football than stay up playing the football of Alardyce'

There is no evidence of boring football getting any team into the top 6 consistently, its actually quite the opposite. Tottenham despite spending a lot less than the so called top 4/ 5 get in the top 4 almost every year. Arsenal who spent very little after the stadium was built, made top 4 often enough and won a few cups along the way. Funnily enough both by playing attacking football.

Benitez as much as I like him as a coach, under delivered with Liverpool, considering the amount of money they spent every window.
Dyche had 1 fluke season but one thing is for sure, he will be available for work pretty soon.
