Doesn't sound very credible. Fired after relegation, the horse would have well and truly bolted by then. Though it may take the threat of it to be clear and present, and that's not this year.

If Silva is as hard to handle as is suggested, then combined with everything else, it would only hasten his eventual departure. You can have all the negative personal qualities you like, but they are forgotten about if you get results. As with Koeman, his arrogance and laziness became sticks to beat him with, and he had nothing to counter, certainly not results.

I can't see Brands wanting to nurture him through and it shouldn't be required.

They may well decide that another change isn't worth it and we go through the next year or two with hard hats on. As it is, it's going to be a painful, ugly slog to get to May and in the cold light of things in the weeks after, the boardroom discussion on Silva is heading towards only one conclusion.
 
Hes far from it.
A long respected, genuine and established poster....with connections.
Not an attention seeker
well that post it proper bubbles.

if its genuine and brands wants to stick by his man, then we are getting relegated with the least amount of points a team has ever amassed in the premier league next season.

every corner, throw in, free kick or cross in our own half will result in gol golll gollllls
 

Don't think we are in any danger of a relegation fight so I wouldn't worry! Seriously though i'm fed up having Everton manager's who just don't get the club, its fanbase and how we expect football should be played. I'd appoint Arteta until the end of the season with an option to give him a longer term contract in the summer.

I'd be surprised if Arteta would leave his role at City with just a few months of the season left without a massive promise of a long term contract.

Just my opinion though mate.

Who knows for sure. Solskjaer did it for Man Utd. I think Arteta would go for it. Personally I wouldn't be opposed to giving him a longer deal.
 

I’ve been firmly in the ‘give him time’ camp but I hold my hands up and say I was wrong. The guy isn’t up to it. I was fully expecting an underwhelming season, I didn’t think we’d sudden win the league or break into Sky’s beloved top 6 but I did expect to see signs that things were heading in the right direction. I like Silva and I want him to be a success - especially as most media have had it in for him since day but the man seemly can’t learn from him mistakes. The same tired and flawed formation, limited tactics and let’s not go into our inability to defend any kind of set piece. Yes the players deserve a kicking too but it’s the manager picking the team and setting them up week in week out and ultimately it’s him that needs to go.
 
I get that any new manager appointment is a risk, but Mikel Arteta would be about the biggest risk we could possibly go for.

Huge no from me.
I hoenstly think Lampard is going to go on and be our best british manager.. he has people skills, is very likeable, and intelligent, but I think he'd be a bit of an authoritarian at heart and will want players drilled properly... he got every ounce of his own potential out of himself.. that is a real quality.

its way too early to take on a job like ours, but in 3 years time I think he will be proving himself in the premeir league, wherever that may be.

worth keeping an eye on his progress
 
I could see Silva resigning that's the only bit I believe. He strikes me as someone with an ego, hence when Hull went down he was gone and when Watford slumped he downed tools and had his head turned by us. He doesn't want to be blamed.
He was on a six month contract at Hull. Allam the club owner asked him to leave as soon as relegation was confirmed.
Only saying like.
 
That Benfica example is ridiculous. We had a team of kids out due to injuries. They had a team containing Di Maria Cardozo Ramires David Luiz Aimar. We took a battering yes but it is exactly this sort of view of the Moyes period that seems to have become Mai stream despite it being completely untrue. ‘Grit and attitude but little else’. We don’t even have those two attributes anymore but it completely ignores the fact that most of the players Moyes played Pienaar Arteta Osman Baines Coleman Lescott Yakutia Donovan were in no way players who relied on physicality and stayed in the team a long time precisely because they were technically good.
Remind me again what we won with Moyes, his record against the top sides and the big games he bottled.
