Marco Silva

[Simon baker]

Erm... well it is. If Silva resigned. Then pozzo would put him on gardening leave. Then we couldn't appoint him for X amount of time. Nor could any other club. That's why compensation is the only viable option.

Yes but would they not have to pay him & a replacment manager if he was on gardening leave.

They have united & spurs to play by December 2nd & are 6 points above the bottom 3 with a manager who without actually saying come & get me clearly wants to leave.

The players will be very aware of this & if the club aren't careful this could turn very sour for them. Few injuries particularly to the goalie & there owners reluctance to do a deal will land them in it.

Because we don't want £50m we want our manager. The £50m price is telling you to go away and bother another club. Gone are the days of where smaller clubs can be bullied into selling their priced assets - the centre back at Southampton didn't go to Liverpool did he Barca didn't get Liverpool's prised asset did they. That's because we all have big money now. We don't need your poxy £10/20m we'll deal at £50m but that it it - end of.

The thing is mate, VVD had a 6 year deal and was very well paid.

You can keep Silva, but your players know he's going. They through the towel in on Mazzari and Flores when that happened. You were lucky it happened in April when you were safe. It's a massive risk to do it now in November.

If your board demand 50 million we will get another candidate. It won't be Pardew. We will be ok. If you stick with Silva who has basically said he wants to leave, you will suffer massively.

Yes they would have to pay him. But if they were trying to make a point then they would definitely do it.

Steve Clark, Alan Pardew, Ally Mccoist etc

All had jobs within weeks of it.

Why deal at all if you don't want the money ? Also fair play for admitting your a small club.

Yes we are a smaller club than you. I've said that all along. However it is also fact that all premier league clubs now have big money. Gone are the days where we can be bullied into selling at fees larger clubs dictate and you can't deny that. We bought squad players in the last window at £8m per pop are we really going to release are manager for a meagre £10m of course we're not going to.

Watford are playing with fire mate. This is not a stable club who are used to sticking with managers through signs of trouble. They've lost 4 in a row and have a dressing room full of players who throw the towel in when it looks like a manager will leave (see their last 5/6 games for the previous 2 managers).

We have a competent manager in situ. If they drag this out much further they are taking a huge risk. I think they need to beat West Ham tomorrow.

Here's a story:

Your wife, let's call her Marco Silva, has caught my attention. Let's call me Everton. Now, I haven't had a good few years if I'm honest. There was a period of time when I kept being really positive about things and calling myself phenomenal but, to any casual onlooker, things were pretty dire. I just didn't have any shape or discipline. Then I tried to fix things by getting real and criticising myself at every turn. Sadly, this only made things worse due to my focusing on the wrong things and blaming others.

Still, your wife has caught my attention. So I did what I tend to do in these situations: I showed her a little bit of my willy. Granted, my willy is not what it was, certainly not the rapidly growing thing that I inserted directly into YOUR rectum in the summer of '84, but it still has some charm.

Anyway, it turns out your wife is a whore, in the sense she has an Italian pimp. He values her pretty highly, I suppose. Awkward thing is, the second I showed a little bit of my willy to your wife, who, remember, in this story is called Marco Silva, she really wanted to kiss it and put it in all of her special places. It probably says a lot about you that she was so excited by the little bit of willy I showed her. Anyway, her Italian pimp will probably be a little upset and ask me for a lot of money for her. I don't mind this, as money doesn't really concern me these days. I'll pay whatever.

I hope you liked my story. It has a hidden message you won't get.

tell us another story.

you are class at it

 

[chicoazul]

I bet you play footy manager and Fifa at the same time.

Your point is about the value of managers being too low though. Which is fair enough. But nobody is paying you 50 million for a guy you could be sacking in two weeks.

Two things.

Why deal at all if you don't need to ?

Also, manager market very different to player market. Especially at a club which buys players off subsidiary clubs linked to owner.

Put it this way; why would a manager go to Watford if they demanded fifty million for a manager from a team who are three points off them?

Don't be so naive you simply put a player with the under 23's for a while then if he gets his head right bring him back in not a variable option with a manger is it.

What do you think Any employee who has a manager expressing a desire to leave does? Erm my boss wants to leave why? What am I doing here? Maybe I should leave?
This is not a good situation when team spirit & togethernes is key to succes.

 

[andy ranbeer]

As do I.

Football is like no other industry.
Name me five other managers placed on gardening leave.

Worst is that we would need to pay his contract up if he quit ala Allardyce at Palace.

Because managers don't go on strike because it would be career suicide. Allardyce wasn't going to another club, and certainly not a club in the same competition. That's why you don't see managers on gardening leave. Walter Mazzarri was placed in gardening leave by Inter because they didn't want him going to another Italian club, but he didn't resign.

Sorry to try to bring a bit of reality to this, but Silva cannot leave if Pozzo doesn't allow it. Therefore compensation is the only possibility. And when you are considering compo, consider the value of having Everton in limbo and in danger of relegation when your main aim is to stay up.

 

[BrendanGOT]

No chance.

Own up who is it? Come on.

I thought it was you mate, genuinely. And I couldn't help but read it in the voice of Consuela from Family Guy.

Silva is a human who can do what he likes. There will be ramifications but the decision on whether he is msnsger of Watford is not down to Poszo. Fact.
