Why is everyone touting silva? Don’t get it.
Martinez Mark 2.....
I'm going to be as candid as I can be.
All things considered, I think Allardyce has done a very good job since coming in. Whilst I understand that a week is a long time in football, I don't think we should forget just how dire things had gotten before he came in. I take no pride in the batterings we've got under him, but I will state that we look far better at the back than we did in mid-November.
Williams looks to have dropped a couple pounds, and looks to be enjoying his football again.
As for team selection, I get the frustrations too. Fact of the matter is that the management obviously see Baines as being more than sufficient for left back, and buying a 'mend it' replacement in January wasn't something that the board wanted to do. Until then, I don't think we can play an out and out left winger due to Vlasic/Lookman/Bolasie's inability to cover defensively.
And now for the controversial bit. I think a lot of the hatred for Allardyce boils down to the fact that he's a northerner who speaks like a northerner. As someone who has both a strong accent and mannerism, I get what it's like to be judged on the way that they speak.
He's no idiot, rarely do I see any of his ex-players bemoan him or his style.
Do I see him as the defacto long term manager of the club? No.
Do I see him as a manager from which we can build a solid platform from going forward? Yes.
It would be bizarre if we get to the summer and Silva is available for nothing if Moshiri didn't act to bring him when he was prepared to pay up to £10M for him months earlier. That would underline what a concern Moshiri is for this football club.
Fonseca - yeah, not a problem with that.
He's a good manager. The Watford collapse was defo due to the Everton enquiry.To even think about going for Silva would be bizarre altogether, i could understand towards the end of the Koeman period, when we were desperate for a quick change and the flavor of the month was an easy option, but if we go for him now we really have to worry about the vision we have for the future, this alone will reflect how short sighted we are
It's funny how much he's hated around here when the guy has, genuinely, done a decent enough job so far.
I'm not a fan of his at all either btw and I hated the fact that we appointed him in the first place.
How is he a good manager? Based on what? Winning 8 games at Watford? That the best we can do?He's a good manager. The Watford collapse was defo due to the Everton enquiry.
He’s Martinez without the trophy.
