I regard Silva as a risky appointment, but then, apart from a very select group of managers who will not come to us anyway every appointment carries risk.
I am impressed by the fact that Moshiri wanted him last November and was prepared to pay a lot of money for him it appears that he has not changed his opinion in the interim. I like it that they seem to have a desire to get him whatever the cost.
From his time at Everton it is clear how Moshiri operates in business. He seems to be determined, focused and ruthless and when your face no longer fits, then you are gone , regardless of the cost.
It makes me wonder who Moshiri took advice from last November and who is advising him now.
I expect Brands will have a big say in the appointment and this makes me wonder if Moshiri was talking to Brands last November and if not then who was he talking to and what role does Brands play if not involved in appointing the man he has to work closely with.
I assume that we are presently talking to Watford to hammer out a package for Silva.
