    That club statement. The Club is convinced the appointment of Silva was the right one and had it not been for the unwarranted approach by a Premier League rival for his services we would have continued to prosper under his leadership.

    In other words, there was nothing wrong with our decision making, it's all Everton's fault. ;hmm

    (PS. Hull fans will no doubt be chortling over their cornflakes at this turn of events. )

    The front runner is Javi Gracia, nope, I've never heard of him either. He formerly managed Rubin Kazan and Malaga.

    He was reportedly our No1 target when we binned off Slav.

    Can't see him getting a job in the PL before the summer.

    I wonder...

    What on earth would we want with him? He got Hull relegated last season and was doing his utmost to follow suit with Watford this year.

    I'm not saying we should go for him. Or that the board will.

    But it also wouldn't surprise me if they did.

    I'd be really surprised if they didn't appoint Moyes and his team on a 2 year contract.

    And know I didn’t want him but I believe he’d deserve it with some of the football we playing along with the results fa cup excluded

    Slaven to Watford? ;hmm

    Good call, there’s worse out there

    I don’t think Bilic should manage a team in the Premier League ever again, not good enough and simply not up to the job.

    I think that is a strange sacking as early season he had them playing way above the sum of their parts and looked safe, they have hit a slump but the main issue is I don't see the managers available that would have their head turned by Watford, which means they could struggle and fall into a relegation fight that should never have happened. I think they will stay up but have just brought that into question more than it was yesterday in my opinion.

    Slav may serve them well as although he has limitations I think his strength is in the short term and his arm around the shoulder style can help bring a team together. It would of course depend on what options they have but as Cuz has said, there are a lot worse out there. Although I will confess one I would have put into that category is currently saving palace and impressing greatly.

    The owners have fingers in European club pies... so may well bring in a manager less well known over here.

    Apparently gracia already in place to take over on two year contract

    Was good enough for us finishing 7th in the league (4 points off a champions league spot) + 11th last season

    Actually don't think Watford are good enough for Slav.
    I mean why bother when no manager lasts more than a season or so...
    A shoddy run club IMO and as a fan would not be happy to see a new manager so often ;ok

    Twist,
    I was never that happy with his appointment, I never think a good player makes a good manager, i’ll agree his first season was a good achievement, but I think that was more Payet and the way the team played around him than anything that Bilic did.
    Last season he looked to have no plan B after Payet departed and this season we looked even worse, in short the team were a mess. I know some thought he should be given more time but I think he had that last season,I was both relieved and pleased to see him shown the door.
    Moyes seems to be sorting us out and we are I hope heading in the right direction.
    We shall have to agree to differ on Bilic ;ok

    I suspect there was an implied 'automatically'.

    I hope Watford crumble. Silva worked wonders with that squad; the owners sack managers every time the cereal packet is empty; and then they refuse to let Silva talk to Everton. So their logic goes: "He was brilliant. We refused to let him go, so now we're sacking him." Very odd.

    Birmingham have sacked their manager and are now looking to appoint....

    wait for it...

    their fifth manager in 16 months ;nonono

    I think they also need a new appointments committee/procedure, because the one they have doesn't seem to be working.
