Marco Silva

It must be close. One final push should do this.

...still no sign of Watford reporting Everton....

Soon as they leaked that story about reporting us - it was effectively a matter of how much more they wanted.

Nah mate, if they fed him what to say it would have been all about commitment to the project etc, this was a response which will 100% pour fuel on the fire again

I think anything Silva had said would have poured fuel on the fire - especially as English isn't his first language. Say he's not interested and Mosh might have doubled the offer. I think there's a confirmation bias around this kind of thing. People will always interpret it how they want. Until an approach or offer is accepted, I'm going to try to not look too far into it, even though it's certainly possible.

Evening Toffee, you cant even compare this joker to Koeman, 9 major trophies compared to 2, Koeman 6th in the league, Silva 18th in the league, this fella is a tuna salad compared to Ronnys BLT.

...yep, I just looked in on their forum. Not many posts, some saying his failure to dismiss the Everton interest is a sign he’s off whilst another suggesting he said what he was told to say.

I highly doubt he was told to appear so uncommitted.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Looks like he’s going to be our man, and I’m happy enough with that. Gets his teams playing with passion and intensity, something we’ve needed for ages.

I prefer to compare it as: Washed up Dutchman v Portugeezer with Potential.

Done.

Eh, his English is of a very good level - first language or not.

Welcome Marco to efc

It is clear he interested based on that interview

Seen a bigger transcript of what he said to the journo's today, 100% he is gone mate

BTW, interesting that Silva stated 'no-one has approached me' - effectively torpedoing Watfords threats to report us with that line today.

"What I can tell you about this situation is I look at this situation like for some players when they play well, or somebody that the coach wants from another club," Silva told journalists today. "For me, now this is a case for the board and the owners to discuss the situation. For me it is a normal situation, I understand the question."

Asked if he wanted to talk to Everton but was being prevented from doing so, he responded: "I don't answer this question. I read many many things in the week. I need to talk with my owner, my board and my players as well. I do my job normally during the week.

"I don't want to talk about Everton. I am here to talk about the West Ham match. If you want to talk to me about Everton, it's not the club where I work."


BBC reported this as well

"I respect what Everton want, I respect how Watford answer. This is the only true way when you have this type of situation, the clubs need to talk. I can't control this situation."
