Marco Silva

[catcherintherye]

Completely agree we are a live & kicking working example that any team outside the top 6 that has bad luck with injuries & a poor run of form can risk relegation.

I've said for some time that Southampton ot Watford will be relegated swapping managers too often & selling your best players is not a good business model & has an air of inevitability for all concerned.

I mentioned Southampton in the match thread. They have a tough run of fixtures, and were hopeless today, I think they could be in real trouble, much like West Brom (who have a nightmare run).

Watford look ok. Either they need to get Silva signed up to a new Contract on much better money and get him happy, or cut their losses, get very handsome compensation (up to 12 million) and look to get a manager in while they are around the middle of the table.

If they start playing silly and trying to make us wait 2-3 weeks that could be 4-6 games down the line, with a squad who throw the towel in when managers are going. They could well have the same result, possibly having to sack a manager, and their ability to recruit one will be severely hampered.

I'd like Silva in Asap but whether it's Monday it 2-3 weeks it will make little difference. He won't improve that much until he can get some lads in in January. We will pick up points under Unsworth, not loads but enough to get us away from the bottom 3. Watford are playing a very dangerous game.

Everton should give their £10m to Mike Ashley and get Rafael. He'd rip your hands off.

It may be our next move mate. You would regret that though.

Dream on.

Spoke to the Dreamy Marco the other week. Guaranteed to me he was coming.

Please condemn the Latin slave trade.

And I believe Rafael still lives on Merseyside. With Newcastle being up for sale - would make complete sense to me.

You’re not making much sense here, pal.

Last season whilst Silva was at Hull I thought to myself that it looked like they’d found a bit of a gem who could go on to big things. My opinion hasn’t changed. He’s not the saviour but as others have said we are not in the position to attract a ready made manager of the ability we desire. So we have to go a tier or two lower. Once again you haven’t provided any viable alternatives so I’ll leave it there chum.

I am making perfect sense.

You are not arguing with me.

You are not even arguing with yourself anymore.

You are arguing with hard facts.

And that is an argument no person can ever win.

Sorry

...er.....chum

He does mate. I think he'd come back as well. Lots of blues would be unhappy, but I'd be very happy to have him.

They can hold out. However sometimes you have to ask for what purpose.

I like Watford but can't stand their CEO.

There you go again urging us to trade Latinos. Horrible.

Can we not, please.

He’s coming as assistant.

*Just so we can sack him the next day.

He can take them to court though. There is no precendent for such a case, though all previous cases of managerial appointments mean you either:
a) Pay a release clause
b) Pay the full value of Contract
c) Make an offer lower than the full value to settle.

It is not wholly unreasonable to think Silva would win a case that that compensation x 3 the value of his contract is not unreasonable. The courts tend to always side on people's right to sell employment. No guarantees of course but Watford taking a big chance.

More pertinently, you are on a 4 game losing run. And As we keep saying have history of your players turning it in when they know a manager might be off. I think it would be very risky to keep a manager there over the next few weeks to prove a point. How does that really benefit Watford?

'You' are on a four match losing run? I'm not Watford pal. I work for an executive recruitment agency- I'm telling you if Watford say no, and are prepared to keep paying his contract, he can't work for another club. It's not restraint of trade as he is employed and being paid.
