If it is to be Silva then Brands will look incredibly weak when he announces it to the media and tells us all what it was he sees in the new manager. "Erm, The Mosh handed me the task of securing his choice from last November". Instead of just hiring Silva before Brands came in.

The club's run like a whelk stall.

I see your turning...

the whole thing already stinks dave.

moshiri just trying to save some face at the expense of us getting a real manager

As I mentioned lads, if we do hire Silva then it is obviously because he was Baxendale and Brands' choice made after a comprehensive and exhausting evaluation of all available candidates because the club would never lie to its supporters like this.

 
Could this be why we gave Fonseca a swerve.....

Police expose nationwide soccer match-fixing network

Ukrainian police have broken up a nationwide network of five crime groups that was engaged in fixing soccer games, the country’s interior minister, Arsen Avakov, reported on his Facebook page on May 22.

Up to 35 Ukrainian football clubs from 10 oblasts were involved in the corrupt scheme, in particular the clubs’ presidents, former and current players, referees, coaches, and companies, the official added.

According to the National Police, Ukraine’s football industry currently includes 52 clubs divided into four leagues.

“This is the first time in Ukraine that not only the football players but also those who arranged the fixing of games have been brought to justice,” Avakov said.

The nationwide operation by the National Police continued for over two years.

“In order to get a ‘correct’ game result, all sorts of methods were used, ranging from bribing players, referees, and club owners, to intimidation and threats,” the minister reported.

The pay for the required result – a victory or a defeat – was between Hr 30,000 ($1,100) and Hr 100,000 ($3,800).

“Knowing a game’s result in advance, the crime groups members entered stakes in betting offices registered in Asian countries and raked in immense profits. Due to anonymity, a lack of transparency, and the lack of control of betting shops in those countries, this football business produced profits of up to $5 million annually.”

The criminal investigation includes 57 individual cases, the minister said.

Up to 320 persons now face between three and seven years in prison for bribing and rigging a sports event result, according to the National Police.
 

Could the hold up with the announcement be with Watford demanding compensation off us and getting FA involved? Maybe club wants FA to say we did no wrong and don't have to pay compensation?

but things can still be done behind the scenes..

west ham and arsenal have moved very swiftly in getting managers in.
