Marco Silva is a man under pressure, so much so that Everton supporters are already crafting elaborate conspiracy theories as to why free agent Jose Mourinho could well be on his way to replacing the Toffees manager.
Another piece of evidence suggesting Mourinho would consider the Everton job.
If Arsenal decide to sack Emery, I think they are the only realistic destination for him other than us.

Sky Sports News report that the former Manchester United manager is keen to return to the Premier League as a manager due to a desire to win trophies, something Everton haven’t managed in nearly a quarter of a century, yet despite the absurdity of the link, some fans of the Merseyside club think there could be a chance the Champions League winning manager will one day take up to the hot seat at Goodison.
Yet not everyone was convinced, and some supporters on social media didn’t believe the theory that Mourinho would take up the Everton job should it one day become available.
Here’s what some Everton fans had to say about the potential links with Jose Mourinho, with the majority of supporters not convinced the former Real Madrid manager will make a move to Goodison Park…
I hope I’m wrong but I can’t see him ever coming to us

Is there any evidence he’d be a good fit for us?
Brands will want to buy young, upcoming players, rather than the finished article for $$$. Mourinho has always struck me as someone who wants players in their prime.

You’re crazy if you think he would look at us.

He wants to win trophies

Some Everton fans, though, already had an idea as to where they think Mourinho will be heading too next almost a year after leaving Man Utd…
Spurs?

He might hold out for Arsenal though if he thinks Emery’s getting the sack

Mourinho has already enjoyed success this decade in the Premier League with Chelsea and Man Utd.
