With betting suspended since the Merseyside derby result and remaining suspended hitherto (as of 01.30am) it seems likely that Silva will be next to go. Blindingly obvious maybe, but the signs are now particularly ominous. "I have no answer," said Silva to the question of his Everton future after the Liverpool defeat. "If we were winning you would not ask the question," he added unnecessarily. But somewhere in there he has a telling if off-the-cuff point. It's become something of an obsession with some journos now, particularly Phil McNulty of the BBC, whose niggling badgering of Flores and speculation of his future bored and irked many a neutral reader of his sniper-like articles which had become not so much about Watford's latest on field performances but more in essence about the next stop for its manager. The same is happening with Silva. You can't see an Everton match report headline without Silva's name in it. Yes, managers are paid a lot of money in the job, and walk away with a lot of money when they are sacked from it, but I'm getting tired of the headlines being all about coaches under pressure - name of god, even when they aren't under pressure they still make up part of the match headline, don't you, José? Enough. Talk about the goddamned match.
