Silva is in a position of strength vis a vis Brands here, at least for the time being.
Whilst Brands will define the role and objectives, Silva's appointment was a fait accompli before Brands arrival and I think Silva can strike a hard bargain in terms of transfer targets and budgets.
The relationship between them is pivotal, I just hope that Brands, surely having been aware of Moshiri's intentions months ago, is as fully onboard with Silva as its possible to be in these circumstances.
There can't be any repeat of the Koeman-Walsh dysfunctional relationship. The only way this will ever work is if Silva reports to Brands, they are not equal partners to any extent.
