Ahh come on! I mean no harm. I’ve been mainly respectful on the whole and only react to posts that I find laughable about our manager. When the posts are balanced and fair, I give a balanced and fair response.
Taking your point, yes, I was concerned. Very concerned. Always thought it was unlikely he would leave and said as much but the lack of certainty on Silva’s part had me worried. Not saying it’s impossible but there is minimal chance you are getting Silva in the summer now. It’s early days but if Silva keeps us going in the trajectory we are currently are, why would he walk in the Summer as has been suggested? He may leave for a Top 6 club if a job becomes available. Or for a team in the CL on the continent. But the Premier League is the place to be and he joined us over Porto in the summer. Don’t make too much of this so-called break-clause because IF it exists, it’s unlikely to be a clause that means he can just walk or leave for minimal amounts.
Anyway, I digress. I’m sure you’d rather talk amongst yourselves at this stage and don’t need advice from a fan of another club, I accept that. All I will say is that I have read lots of debate on here about the quality of your squad - sometimes a squad of poor individuals can do well by playing as a team. I’d say that should be the focus regardless of who is on the touchline.
Fair one. I’ve got no gripe with Watford, or any of your fans coming on here, you are all welcome as far as I’m concerned, and I like the club. I wouldn’t be too happy if another club was trying to take our manager either, though I was when Moyes went to the Mancs!
Good luck for the rest of the season.
