2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[COYBL25]

Another good man is Kev.

He’s a man of conviction, which is to be admired.

When we don’t beat: Huddersfield, West Ham, Newcastle and Watford at home, coupled with one away win all season and getting knocked out of the League Cup at home to Southampton, then I think it is very generous to suggest progress has been made.

TBF that is in a few months of Silvas first season after a terrible season last year and new players settling in, even Mourinho got three years at Utd, a club that has atleast won the league a few times, surely we can't be as stupid to just keep sacking managers after an average season because we finished 4th once, we've needed investment for years and now we have it, we just need the stability of a manager now

That was West Ham’s first big spend in years and are coming from a lower base level than we are.

Moshiri also wanted Koeman, and invested heavily to get him. Koeman managed to finish 7th, an acceptable position at the start of the ‘project’, after two back-to-back 11th place finishes under Martinez. In his second season, Koeman struggled and didn’t look like making it to 7th and was then sack. Fat Sam got us to 8th, with the 6th best club form in his time here and was sacked.

Moshiri clearly has a minimum expectation. Silva won’t be escaping that if he fails to meet the bear minimum. Would i be right in saying that patience is not one of your strong points

So we draw City away in the 4th round, and we lose. The fans will turn, guaranteed? Ok.

We haven't yet won in the 3rd round.

‘Even Mourinho’

He won the League Cup, Europa League and finished 2nd only to the best ever British team within his three years there.

What has finishing 4th, 14 years ago, got to do with anything?

Well to be honest id rather we draw top teams as we seems to give them more of a game, besides it's harder to justify playing a poor starting 11 against them

 

[BlueToff]

Your point being? In work, do you not have interim and full year reviews?

He’s halfway through the season, I’d say this is a good point to be reviewing his performance so far. As it is, he is failing on the expectation required of him.

Why's he failing so far?

And it's not your expectations that count, regardless.

Sam got sacked because he'd have set the club back years. He would have taken us nowhere.

It had nowt to do with the position in the table. He was getting sacked whether we finished 8th or 17th.

He isn`t failing mate.

It`s just that some posters believe what the voices from the microwave are telling them.

It`s just that some posters believe what the voices that come out of the microwave are telling them.

I genuinely do want to know though.

I want us to be higher and it's frustrating that we aren't considering we've had chances - and big chances - to win games that we've gone on to draw or lose.

But it's a gradual process. We're not the best of the rest until we prove it. So this mental expectation we should suddenly be top six is baffling.

As for the assumption that Silva gets sacked if he doesn't finish 7th, well, in the bin.

 

[blueboy1664]

We'll see.

If he does we deserve everything we get. Successful teams need longevity , Man Utd is the glaring example, swapping and changing costs millions and hinders progress....we need to stick with him for a least 3 seasons , we have bought into his football identity, let him try to deliver....Jesus wept even ex [Poor language removed] pundits in Murphy and Belkamy openingly praise us

Man City, Chelsea and Man Utd have been sacking managers continuously and have been the three most successful clubs in the past decade. But OK.

A manager doesn’t deserve to stay long, just because. He has to earn the right to be in that position.

Well, he is currently below a newly promoted team in the league and got knocked out of a competition at home to a team in a relegation fight, who incidentally sacked their manager.

He’s hardly a roaring success, is he?

What’s he actually changed here?

It might look a bit fancier, but it is yielding the same results.

 

[4737carlin]

You mean like the decade + we gave Moyes, our most successful period in the last 23 years

 

[Carl O'Ancelotti]

If he doesn't finish at least 7th, he'll get the sack and deservedly so.

Sorry to disappoint you, but there is absolutely zero chance of that happening no matter how much you might wish it would.

So you may as well stop wasting your time hoping for it, otherwise you'll end up in the loony bin like @hktoffee eating Alsatian for breakfast.
