Not my first choice but club would look daft not hiring him after trying once already

May be a good manager given resources and time.

Thanks to the club in happy to throw my weight behind anyone who replaces Sam, anyone but allardyce
 
Be gutted if we get stuck with him, were bad, but where not this bad

He is too unproven to me it could go tits up or he could be brilliant but it feels like the choice we made in the Kenwright years for the wages we pay I'm sure we could get a better manger manager than Silva
 
He will do well, made a mistake, but the fans of his previous teams all considered him a good coach.

More excited for him than sam, that is for sure.
 
Massively underwhelming.
Agreed, people saying his teams play attractive football but his teams do concede a lot of goals. Martinez all over again . We need a manager who firstly can sort out our defence, stop conceding goals is out first priority and I don't think he is the manager who can do this.
 
Doesn't look great, but Mourinho and Guardiola also may have struggled with keeping clean sheets with Miguel Britos, Craig Cathcart, Adrian Mariappa, Michael Dawson and Curtis Davies in defence
His record with Watford was i think actually worse and he had pre-season and was able to sign players with them. It'll be a big gamble for me if we appoint him.
 

Awful choice if he gets it. Our sights are set too low. Prediction is abuse levels increase by October with demands for his sacking by January. We surely need a manager with a record of success. Silva's record is CRAP.
 
He had a good-ish spell at Hull (who he left in the lurch) and a roaring start at Watford before falling out with all his players as he wanted to leave them in the lurch after seven games.

His record at Watford is awful, and if he comes here I do not see how it will be any different. Roberto-lite. Martinez was a loyal and good man at least.

Who do you think then?

who should we be aim for..and who do yoi realistically think would come?
 
How did it compare with the RS?

Salah and firminho out scored our entire team this season and still struggled to get top 4.

Playing a style to out score the opposition only works when you have a quality front 3 that scores lots of goals and the rest of the team chip in with a few.

We don't have that and for the second season in a row we've just sold our top goal scorer.

You could argue that with a better attack we'd score more goals but we'd concede more as well.

The club is at a major turning point in it's history for me. With all the changes going on and we can't afford to drift into the mid table dirge that's in the premier league because we won't get back out. We can't be taking chances on gung-ho managers because we don't have the fire power up front and defensively we're to frail at the back to compensate for it. Silva is martinez mk2 without the 8 thousand pass a game.

We need a manager who can organise a defence as well as a attack. Someone who's manager style is balanced and can build up the whole squad over time. Emeri or fonseca if we can't get him for me. Both won things, can play good attacking football but doesn't sacrifice their defence to do so and can dig in and grind out results when things aren't going their way.
