Marco Silva

He'll have us playing sexy football again, that's all I care about!

Even if we lose ??? Bollocks...

Silva is absolutely nailed on. We wouldn’t even bother talking to Watford if it wasn’t clear he’s the one we want. If Moshiri was willing to pay £10m+ for him 6 months ago there’s no way he won’t pay a few million in compensation (if needed).
People are just speculating because he hasn’t been announced yet and the bookies are still trying to drum up interest.
I’ll eat my hat if he doesn’t get announced this week

I don't see a big difference in Silva or Howe, both young both forward looking, both would appear ideal for working with Brands.

I wonder if interest in Silva is cooling while the wrangling goes on? I was told by a pretty decent insider that a deal in principle was agreed months ago, though clearly until he signs on the line nothing's certain. He must be very frustrated and I'm struggling to remember the last time we didn't turn the appointment of a manager into a saga.

We're bound to lose. Even Man City lost twice last season...

How big is his garden? Must be massive

It’s a maze mate, he can’t find his way out to sign the contract!

 

[davids]

It's all about timing really but you have to wonder if there are elements in the club that are happy for Watford to continue wrangling over this so they can pull the plug.

Hope so.

Lost track of the Silva thing since Saturday's CL final. I take it he hasn't signed on the dotted line yet?

NEA at the moment. But to keep up my good mood it would be nice to get a manager sooner rather than later.

I really can't see the Watford thing being an issue here. If we want Silva, we'll appoint him and if we're forced to pay some form of compensation we'll take that on the chin. At the end of the day he only had 6 months of his £1.5m pa contract left due to his widely publicised break clause.

I think this is more a case of Brands wanting to run the rule over other potential candidates before making a final decision, which is the right way to do things imo. Silva is Mosh's man, but the important daily working relationship will be with Brands, so at the end of the day he has to have the final say. I just wished he'd speed things up a bit.

So will he be here on the 1st?

Where are you?

 

[havrey0123]

Still hoping this falls through and a big name is appointed
Most of the teams he has managed he has left before a season. I can't see this being any different.

 

[thebluenosebolt]

Brands doesnt officially start until the 1st, why are we still going on about why hasn't Silva been announced yet ??

As frustrating as it was, I’d take 11th and Martinez football over 8th and Allardyce football. At least under Roberto we looked like we were trying to entertain and do something positive. Don’t get me wrong, under martinez the bad times were infuriating, but when it was good it was really good.

One has managed in the CL
