Marco Silva

We couldn’t sign Lamine Kone, as if we could get what is supposedly THE up and coming manager in English football lol

Silva is the indulgence for next season when the ship is steadied.

Unfortunately, Big Sam or Dyche are the steadying of the ship for this season.

Nope, it's looking like Unsworth now mate.

Not sure he is the answer and if he's not it could be too late by the time we find out

£8.5m for a manager on a 2 year deal?!?!

Eff that.

Mid season premium, don't think for a second we would get him on the cheap - Koeman only had a year left and I believe we paid nearly half of that £8.5m

True. Just seems a bit mad.

But it’s not my money I guess. I just don’t really want him.

Worries me a lot. Poor with Hull, only claim to fame is the Greek league and Mirallas looked like Ronaldo there and his win percentage with Watford is p-poor.

CBA to check for myself - was Silva in charge at Olympiakos when Kev was there?

Another way of thinking about it, we are basically giving them the money back they paid us for Cleverley, put into that perspective mate...

Wasn't at Olympiakos for very long, way after Kev left.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Also his Olympiakos achievement is weakened a little bit when you realise they've won the league 19 of the last 21 seasons.

eh? they improved massively after he joined

People just see relegation and instantly think he didnt do well. They were down before he even got the job, its utter madness that he actually got them close to staying up.

...we paid more than that for Denis Adeniran for the U23s, not to mention a similar amount for Lewis Gibson from Newcastle. When you think of how critical a manager is, the amounts mentioned are small beer in comparison to untried footballers.
