If Silva is sacked - who could/should we get?

[BirkenheadBlue]

The next manager should have it written in to his contract if he's spending more than 20 million quid on a player then at least 2% of the fans should have at least heard of his name before.

I always seem to know or have heard of the players other clubs sign but always have to google our multi million pound gems.

We’ve signed 10 players for > £20m in the last 3 seasons

Richarlison
Mina
Sigurdsson
Klaassen
Keane
Pickford
Walcott
Tosun
Bolasie
Schneiderlin

Now, putting aside their quality, did you HONESTLY have to google more than 1 of them?

Let’s break the mould and appoint a woman.

Bill would be all over this, right up his street this.

 

[malfosse]

Just get a statue

I think we already have them in our defence.

The best available

At least you admit Silva isn’t a good one. But I won’t use the term mediocre, yet, unless you consider 7th and 12th are the same. If he gets 7th in May then fair enough he can get the mediocre tag back.

He's not Doin a good job at the moment.
No one is arguing that.
But replacing him now with the likes of David moyes totally defies logic

I think the Q should be who COULD we get?

BFS make sure we don't go down anyway.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Thats fair enough mate. But it's not Unsworth fault how they do once they are with the first team squad is it? He has passed lads up who are ready to play PL football. He has put more up than most of his counterparts hasn't he?

Have no issue with Rhino, believe me...but Lee Carsley will manage us before he or Duncan do, if we have any sense. Neither of them are putting themselves in unfamiliar positions in an effort to grow. Both of them seem like they think it's going to be gifted to them at some point.

You want to follow the death spiral of:

PNE
Wigan
Southampton
Watford

with ...

Bournemouth.

So you don’t think Moyes did a good job?

 

[flibbyflob]

Being serious the bloke who has impressed me is the Wolves chap but it shows how badly we have stunk the place out for years that he may decide he is better off staying where he is. Same goes for Eddie Howe, we really have cocked it up so badly in recent years that are we a draw now? We are in the realms of the clubs we used to laugh at who spunked money left right and centre and got nowhere and now we change our manager more often than a tart changes her knickers.

 

[Frang]

Unsworth lol

It's as if last season never happened.

He's learnt from it. Much much more ready now

Maybe a stupid idea but it will happen at a league club within next five years. No reason why a woman couldn’t manage a PL club. Plenty of female CEOs or in senior positions in Footsie 100 companies

 

[Simon Buttle]

One reason for sticking with Silva for now is, can you imagine Allardyce if we did sack Silva, he would be in every newspaper, on every tv channel shouting his mouth off, i don't think i could cope!

 

[Lapeno77]

We've got 4 games in the next 14 days followed by a 17 day gap.
Failure to get at least 1 positive result in that bunch (Huddersfield, Wolves, City, Watford) and he'll be done.
Brands has worked with Cocu at PSV for quite a few years and is currently out of work. Wouldn't surprise me to see him come in.

We've already made fools of ourselves sacking Sam and going for this whopper, Fat Head laughing at us is the least of our worries
