He's our manager next week.

Deal with it. Clean yourselves up, stop fantasying about garbage gaffers like Howe, Van Gaal and Dyche and get behind the beautiful Portuguese man.

You'll feel a lot better about yourself.

And that worth what precisely? You’ve just spent a fortune to come 8th under BFS. It’s what is happening now that matters, not before. I don’t care if you’ve won the league 2 times, 200 times or never at all. I really couldn’t care less. Trading off past glories is a fairly feeble way forward.

The only people that think history , tradition , class & pedigree dont matter.
Are people that dont have any.

Now stop playing Z cars and run along.

I’m not saying they don’t matter. But when I’m trying to talk about the issue at hand, they mean precisely nothing so are unimportant to me. I have no issue with you being proud of the history of your club and it’s achievements. Although, given the actual subject matter, I’m not sure you should be talking about your clubs ‘class’...certainly not over this issue.

And I’d happily never hear us play that song again and most WFC fans agree.

You won a game against us 34 years ago. Seen it. Congratulations. Time to start living in the modern world though. History, bigger club...heard it all before and to me it means precisely nothing. I’m not here to argue with you all or have history lessons. Just giving you a perspective from the other side of the story as you all seem fairly convinced your massive, have done nothing wrong or are seemingly above rules.

Either way, I’m not too bothered. This whole story doesn’t make your club look good at all.

I hope we tap up your whole team, sign absolutely none of them. Maybe Doucoure to be fair. But that's it. And then you plummet to the championship with 9 managers sacked in the one year.

I’m not overly concerned about the Watford complaint mate.

If they had a smoking gun in terms of evidence, the PL wouldn’t have invited both parties to mediation and told them to sort it out amongst themselves, if evidence was water tight. If there is clear evidence of a violation the PL are in breach of their own rules by not sanctioning and taking the mediation route.

Realistically Everton aren’t going to turn down a PL request to attend a facilitated mediation meeting, but suggesting that Everton are at fault here and have been bending over backwards to appease Watford is wildly speculative.

They could have just sat there and denied any liability, probably the case if there was no resolution. I’ve seen quotes published today saying that at the meeting it was said they had no intention of appointing Silva as manager, that is different then saying they would definitely not appoint him and it’s not in breach of rules to change an intention.

It all boils down to Watfords burden to provide proof really.

I also note it’s largely the London papers running the story, makes me think it’s a Watford media drop.

I think we’re safe in the Liver Building at the moment, unless Watford have a smoking gun. Given the trajectory of sketchy speculative events as reported, I think the PL would have escalated this a lot sooner and not gone through mediation if there was a smoking gun of evidence for a clear breach.

We’ve called your bluff really.

That’s how I read it.

It’s funny seeing Watford taking the moral high ground here, there was no such moral outrage when the Pozzos were sending ringers over from Udinese or Granada on “loans” to gerrymander the championship and get to the PL.

I think we would do well not to be taking advice on footballing morals, ethics when it comes to clubs of Watfords ilk and shady dealings.

Exactly - Watford fans are convinced we spoke to Silva behind the scenes and he then downed tools when in reality all that is simply hearsay and has never been officially reported.

And Everton fans are convinced he didn’t. If we had evidence of it, why would we let the press know so they could report it. We would take it to the PL - which we did. Hence the news over the last 48hrs. Not hard to understand.

Yes. Because our whole team dreams of playing for Everton. You went through more managers than us last season. And as many in the 2 seasons before that. Give your head a wobble.

Your evidence is simply:

"We were doing well"

"Everton came in and made severeal approaches"

"We then started to be crap and sacked the manager"

"We want compo as its Evertons fault"

Thats the crux of Watfords complaint and I hope the PL are neutral enough to throw it out.
