Writings been on the wall all season.  There was murmurs of discontent last season that he was obsessed with possession and teams had figured them out.  Plus he obviously can't organise a back four, or spot a decent defender, for (excuse the pun) toffee.  He inherited a solid back four off Moyes and kept it intact the season they finished 5th, but once he started tinkering and asking his full backs to bomb on a bit more they started losing more often.

Such a weird one. I mean, he did pretty good things at Swansea, won an FA Cup with Wigan, and recorded the highest ever Premier League points tally in Everton's history in his debut season.

However, it became apparent at both Wigan and Everton, that his teams couldn't defend. He took over a Wigan side who were midtable, not one fighting relegation, and they got worse in the league under him.

His teams do play good possession football. But they can't defend, and as the game has become more tactical than ever, he's been too stubborn to adapt when only a few tweaks were needed.

I can't see another Premier League club giving him a job. Why would they? If he took over a West Brom or a Swansea, it'd only be a matter of time before they're in real danger of going down.
