Paulo Fonseca

[Tez]

Paulo, crack an egg in my arse and beat it until it's scrambled.

Fonseca feels very flavour of the month - Vitor Pereira/Brian Laudrup style - I get why he's the football hipsters choice but he's not the no brainer/major coup many would have you believe.

Not for nothing, but Silva isn't? Got relegated, new appointment, did well for a few months then showed utter trash management. How is he any less "flavour of the month" than someone who made the knockouts of the Champions League (and rightly should have advanced) with a Ukrainian side?

 

[davids]

Silva had his chance, instead of pushing for the move he sat on his hands and made us look like gimps, that will be the reason we dont go back for him.

Given that he did his own version of gardening leave we shouldn't go anywhere near him.

Also the Fonseca interest isnt new either, its been going for as long as the Silva interest, so its not like we only had our eyes set on Silva, we had interest in many managers prior to being left with the last tin of beans on the shelf which was Sam.

By the "ANTI FLAVOR OF THE MONTH LOGIC" we should go for another dunce that has "BPL experience." Almost every managerial appointment is a risk ffs. I'd rather take a risk on someone that has done well in champions league and dominated his own league. So tired of the flavor of the month nonsense

Pardew is free.

Hes just basically the English Marco Silva.

Longer, btw.

Was linked when we were appointing Koeman.

He was signed to an 8 year deal by the great Newcastle at one point, so he must be the tits. I've been swayed

Pretty much every, tbh. How's Mourinho doing? Still smashing the league, yeah?

Oh wait no he's not, even United have gotten it wrong pretty much every single time lately.

 

[davek]

Agreed.
Willing to pay £10m one minute yet not £0 the next?
I always thought that the Watford statement was pretty accurate. It was clear Watford - either the manager, the players or a collective - DID take their eye off the ball after the Everton approach. Silva refused to distance himself which transitioned Watford from an impressive early season side that was consistent in its play to a mish mash of uncertainty.
My only issue with him is that an approach destabilised him more than anything. What would happen here in similar circumstances?

It'd at least mean he'd had some sort of success here, so we'd have to take it from there.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Potentially quite a few good managers going spare this summer, think I'd be disappointed with silva now tbh

exactly just because he was right 6 months ago doesnt mean he is right now we should get the best manager available

Nope. I think he did the right thing in terms of credibility. He couldn't fuel the reputation he walked out on clubs. Obviously the players at Watford had the final say on whether it backfired.

 

[Sir Alan]

Can we hurry up with this please

Nar he showed he had no backbone, then showed how much the player respected him when they downed tools.

He quickly gets teams playing the way he wants. That is appealing for us.

He has a very mobile midfield. Cant wait to see who Marco uses in ours.
