Supporters of Everton have fumed with the club’s Dutch director of football, Marcel Brands, following Marco Silva’s sacking.

On Thursday evening, the club announced that the 42-year-old manager had been relieved of his duties at Goodison Park and that Duncan Ferguson was set to take charge of the clash with Chelsea on Saturday (as per BBC).

While supporters had wanted to see Silva go (via Liverpool Echo), following the sacking they distributed some of the blame for the club’s current predicament onto Brands (via El Pivote).

Has Marcel Brands done a good or bad job in his 18 months at Goodison Park?

Good, just been unlucky

Bad, as much at fault as Silva

The Dutchman has been in place as the club’s director of football since May 2018, when he was appointed by Farhad Moshiri and played a role in selecting Silva to replace Sam Allardyce (via BBC).

Having overseen nothing but what fans have perceived as turmoil since his arrival, many felt that Brands was getting away without being given the criticism he deserves for his role at the club.

What do we think?

It is doubtless, it has been an incredibly turbulent 18 months since the arrival of the Dutchman at Goodison Park, and while blame can be lay at Silva’s door, he has not been the only problem at the club.
