Interesting to see what the next few days will bring on this.
The slant given to the media on this should indicate that Silva has given the green light for the move. Enough encouragement must be there to pursue compensation with Watford though I guess this will go on long past the Palace game.
Effectively saying Unsworth isn’t good enough now and it would be difficult to lure another manager from the PL apart from Silva if it stalls so you would hope they have gotten enough positive signals from Silva and his people to lay their cards on the table.
Perhaps the silence of the last few weeks was being put to use.
I like Silva, would not be my choice in an ideal world but the best of the realistic options given the circumstances and infinately better than Dyche or Allardyce.
