Marco Silva

[orly]

Certainly Zat.

He started the season playing a 4-3-3.

He then switched to a 4-2-3-1

He even played 4-3-3 versus us

And as you can see in his last ever game for Watford he just gave up.

I admit, he certainly favours the 4-2-3-1 and it is likely the formation he will use most.

To be fair, he had some awful players at Watford didn't he.

This appointment is the least ambitious ever, excluding Sam of course it’s just depressing

That last game versus LC is a horror show.

 

[Efctheblue123]

I just don’t see how he’s anywhere near good enough

What bit of this don't you understand? At NO point have I said conclusively that I, or WFC, have evidence. I have speculated that we do. You are speculating that we don't. It's pretty easy to understand.

You have decided you are innocent based on the fact that nothing has leaked out, so therefore it can't exist.

And to answer one of your earlier posts - I can't talk for any other fan of my club who you said abused you. It's certainly not in my nature but I'm sure you are all old enough and big enough to dish out back. All this talk of banning people seems a bit odd.

Are you back. Haven't you got a wedding to go to?

Totally agree. Uninspiring and unexciting. Should be going all out for Emery.

I’d be on the phone to Conte now me. Emery over Silva definitely. Even Dyche over Silva. Silva is a no from me

I wouldn’t want Conte personally, Iv just watched a season of dry defensive football, not signing up for another.

Well they’ve just won the cup and won the league the other year, I’d rather that than Martinez Mark 2 finishing 11th

Sure but they have Hazard we have Bolasie

That’s why we need to rebuild

Perhaps we did but the former PSG manager is holding out for something more..

I don’t believe we have. I think it’s Silva or no one for us. Incredibly depressing

 

[Barnfred 55]

..as I see it, we probably illegally approached Silva when he was manager at Watford. Silva kept his counsel but wanted to leave Watford and join Everton. Everton wanted Silva and Silva wanted Everton.

I agree with the rest of your post Eggs but this part is guess work. I would imagine that he could have been sounded out through his agent to find out whether he was interested or not. But this sort of thing goes on all the time, whether it be with players or managers. It would be extremely difficult for Watford to prove this.

My personal view is Watford are bringing the complaint because we've turned Silva's head by making our approach known to the press. This could well be true, but as far as I'm aware not illegal. They're basically just trying it on.

"Silva's a depressing appointment. We should be looking at Simeone, Emery, Conte".

Honest to God, you couldn't make this stuff up.
