A few quotes from the Watford forum before the United game...

- I would honestly rather have Doucoure over Pogba.

- I'm really looking forward to this. I've got a feeling we might hammer them.

- 4-0 us

- 4/1 to win this one. You know what to do

- I'll be amazed if we don't win this.
I tbink we could even get away with a below par perfor.ance and scrape home 2-0.

COYH

My toes are curling for them.
You have to take some things at face value and treat them with the irony they deserve. Some people on our forum don’t mean the things they say - much like this forum. Some people do mean what they say - again, much like this forum. I suspect half of the above is said tongue in cheek and the other half said dead serious. There’s no accounting for some people’s sensibility. Just ask the guy drafting your 3 man shortlist...:D

My toes have curled on more than one occasion after another @davek missed deadline for Silva to leave. But it’s best to treat these things with the humour they deserve. These interactions are all fun and games at the end of the day!

In other news, now you can see why I said Silva isn’t the manager you need. He’s good, but in some aspects he’s still an apprentice at the nuances of the PL. In terms of defensive organisation, he has a lot to learn - hopefully aided in January with a couple of signings. But you have said all over this board that you need INSTANT defensive improvement - Silva won’t provide you with that.

He's just resigned mate.

You’re probably right, we need someone who can organise us no doubt, I wish it was someone more glamorous than Big Sam but at the moment we are beggars and cannot be choosers
 
Even if he had, wouldnt be saving you from the doom of Moshiri having to cover Fat Sam’s room service bill in Dubai. You couldn’t afford Silva after that.

Mosh owns that hotel mate, well, actually it's Usmanov who wons it, but we're splitting hairs here !

Nah, I actually agree with you that, at this moment in time, Silva isn't the man we need, but it is a sad indictment on the world of Premier League football that he was quite prepared to walk away from your club if they'd let him talk to us, and, despite the success your owners have had by hiring and firing managers, it's also a reflection on how they've gone about doing their business. We've not come out of it smelling of roses either by the way.

Good luck with the rest of the season, I suspect you'll drift away some time after Christmas and finish lower to mid-table, but Silva will likely leave something behind that can be built on by whoever takes over in Summer 2018 ( assuming Silva leaves in the Summer ).
