It;s monotonous and cretinous: hire manager ----> wait for short term downturn ----> sack him with compo ----> hire new manager - rinse/repeat

You have no way of knowing whether he will or wont and neither do i.
He should be gone tomorrow though regardless. It is complete insanity to let this no mark do any more damage than he already has. It is unforgivable to be in the relegation zone after playing 8 games and 7 of them against bang average teams.
Doesn't deserve any further backing and fully deserves to be sacked. There isn't a club in the premier league that wouldn't sack him.
Should be gone tomorrow.

When you look at the first 11. Silva has had signed for him ;
New goalkeeper
New left back
New centre half
New right back
3 new centre mids
3 new wingers
New striker
He has his team there and for whatever reason he isn't forming a new team out of them. You can argue they were signed for him but when the achievements of some of these are world cup, euros , premier League, seria a titles, with so many with tip level experience.
How can you then justify not playing them and wondering why on earth you find yourself in the bottom 3?

The problem is the lack of credentials of manager.
We're asking/expecting Silva to achieve something he's never done before.
Yes, finishing around 7th is the best we should hope for when our wage bill is over £100 million less than Arsenal and the teams above us.

Most promising young striker in Europe, who can’t get a game ahead of that waste Lewin, along with the others who all look completely devoid of any confidence or clue what this manager is trying to achieve.
Gueye was always going in the summer, you’re an intelligent guy Dave so don’t pretend you and indeed we all didn’t know that. I agree we should have signed another CB but Mina has played well imo, certainly no better or worse than Zouma was last year.
I understand you question our signings and transfer strategy but you cannot defend a manager with this squad losing to Burnley, Sheffield United, Aston Villa and Bournemouth. It’s completely unacceptable.
There is nothing a manager can do to change our fortunes as our budget isn't big enough. You may get the odd season, as we did with Martinez, where the ball runs for you more than it should, but the vast majority of the time, you end up where money suggests you should end up. That's not going to change with a new manager, no matter how much we think it will.

And this is excuse for being in a relegation zone after playing against some weakest teams in this league? Laughable.
I would accept him not deliver Europe with what you stated, not a fight for survival ffs.

We should get someone like Benitez. Say if the bigger name won’t join.
As I said above - the history of the Premier League says teams finish where their wage bill says they finish. For us, that's about 7th. No manager is going to change that. Soz like. Welcome to the Premier League.
If you hire mediocre managers, this is what happens. We abandoned our motto decades ago.

Better to pay the 5-10 million compo than get relegated !
We had a team managed by Sam bloody Allardyce finish where our wage bill said we should. Sam Allardyce. The manager is largely irrelevant.
