You can say one thing for Farhad Moshiri - he is getting through a fair old cast list when it comes to managers.
He has bumped off the current coach of the world-ranked number one national team, fired the man who is presently leading a major revival in Dutch football and discarded a veteran campaigner who has never taken a team down.
So, following Roberto Martinez, Ronald Koeman and Sam Allardyce out of the Goodison Park gates, what will happen to Marco Silva?
He will probably flourish at somewhere that boasts joined-up thinking behind the scenes.
Silva has rarely impressed and his departure was inevitable.
The way he set Everton up against Liverpool, playing a high line against pace for a start, was amateur hour stuff.
He had to go.
But the humiliating delay in his dismissal betrayed the lack of direction off the field.
And for that, Marcel Brands - appointed to the board to deliver ‘long-term, holistic, football strategy from the Academy to the first team’ - has to take responsibility, especially as he appears to be the Director of Football who wields the most power at a Premier League club.
Some of the signings under Brands have been decent, some have been unluckily blighted by injury. some have just not been good enough.
But the truth is that Everton have never found adequate replacements for Romelu Lukaku, Idrissa Gueye and even for the borrowed Kurt Zouma.
And if the Dutchman has ‘holistic’ control over strategy, that buck stops with him, as does the lack of a discernible philosophy or style of play during Silva’s ill-fated reign.
But the thing with Directors of Football is they often like to take credit when things go right and lie low when they go wrong.
There is no lying low for Brands for now.
He has to get this one right or Brands himself will be following Koeman and company.
