When Everton got fed up with Sam Allardyce, they turned to Silva as his replacement and were so unabashed in their courting of the Portuguese that Watford had to report the Merseysiders for an illegal approach for their employee while he was still under contract.
The termination of Silva's contract at Vicarage Road paved the way for Everton to get their man and while he might have somewhat underperformed in his first season by finishing in 8th place, the current campaign has been nothing short of shambolic.

Following the loss against Liverpool, Everton have now lost their last three matches in the league and are currently in the relegation zone which is an aberration considering how much money the club has spent and the quality of players within their ranks.
Don't be surprised if Marco Silva gets the axe in the next few hours.
