Pay big money and wages for big name players. One way of doing that is by getting in a proven manager that has won trophies, not constantly giving young managers with no experience a chance to see what they can do.

We tried that with Koeman.

Our most "successful" periods have all come with appointing young hungry managers with potential.

Kendall was a young up and coming manager, yes im aware its a vastly different era.
Moyes was, of course he never brought us success, but he dragged us from our slumber

I get that people dont like Silva, I wasnt a fan before we appointed him, his record in Greece is very good, granted its hardly a testing league, his record in this league is utterly terrible, his record so far for us has been below par for sure. But we are trying to build something here, we now have Brands who looks like he knows what hes doing, we have The Mosh who is willing to spend, so why not just sit back and see where Silva can take us? Give him a season or 2, if theres no progress then of course bin him and move on.

People "like me", we arent saying hes done great or even thats hes a great manager, but he does have positives, he plays football like we want it to be played, he has no fear. All we ask is that people "like you" at least try and give him time. Theres is honestly nothing to be gained by sacking managers willy and indeed nilly.

Hes here now, why cant we all just put our negatives thoughts behind us and just let him do his job.

Surley moshiri has figured out that the top 6 (united aside) have top quality managers in place.

The huge mistake moshiri made when coming in was appointing a top class manager straight away. If he offered them 300m+ in 5 transfer windows a lot of managers would of taken on the challenge.

Name 1 that hasnt already got that to spend at the club they are at now?

As much as I hate agreeing with an RS your spot on.

You went from appointing mid table duds like Woy and Rodgers and went balls in for Klopp and havent looked back.

I pray one day Moshiri makes a similiar bold move as the finances are certainly there.

I dont know if its Kenwright still badly advising him or not but either way its not good enough.

Mate, the evidence so far shows that we have recruited really well, it shows that we have a regular (more or less) starting eleven and we don't roll over for teams anymore so that's progress from last season.
We have been unlucky in a few of our games which the manager can't do much about, I do think we are suffering from the lack of a quality CF and it is probably costing us now, but you have to build teams from the back and that is what happened in the summer.
This season was always going to be about transition and no amount of turd polishing will improve some of the back-up we have had to retain from the Koeman and Walsh era, so change is going to be gradual rather than sudden, but I reckon Silva and Brands have got it covered and it's just going to take a little bit of time.

We're in the same place we have been (more or less) for the past 30 years...

On the evidence so far, I'm not convinced this guy is the right man for the job, or Brands for that matter...Priority No 1...sign a proper striker.

Really torreria, Lacazette, aubameyang, mkhitaryan, mustafi are only top up players. Ok

The players they replaced are probably better players than we had. That is my point. They continue to buy better on top of already good ones. They are building on top on an already build we are building from nowt basically.....there is A BIG DIFFERENCE. ok

Proven managers are hard to come by and proven managers need pot loads of money to stay proven. What would any of these proven managers do with a team like Watford, Everton etc when the bigger clubs will just outspend us year on year. Then the difficulty of getting the top players to join a team like us.

A top manager is a manager that can wheel and deal on budget and still win or be very close to winning things against all odds. Bit easier to manage City, Liverpool etc with unlimited resources and the only downer of managing those clubs is that 2nd or 3rd place is sometimes not enough ....why? because they have all the money in the world so can truly be classed as a failure.

Man U will pull away now. The players were on strike under Mourinho. We’ll be lucky to finish above West Ham, who have found form under Pelligrini.

They got beat at home by Watford today mate

The point is, there's five clubs from 7th to 12th all about as good/bad/average as each other. We're in that group, but I'd say we have a good enough squad and manager to pull away by the end of the season.

For that to happen we need things to click up front - i.e. taking chances. The manager can only do so much here. The system he is putting in place is seeing us play in a style that creates these chances. Silva can't put them away for the players. We have created sitters that we have missed in most games this season.

Defensively, in the main we've looked okay. No more haphazard than we have done for the past five or six years, and until the last three games had actually been fine. Mistakes crept in v Newcastle/Watford, and even against City - the best attacking team in the league - we conceded in the main because of silly individual errors.

So we're a few tweaks away all things considered. We need a few more players and it'd be nice if we got one - a striker - in Jan.

But y'know, who needs perspective when you've got a keyboard and a complex. NSNO LAD

His record in the league has been quite poor and we're in a poor spot. Needs to figure out how to stop this sharpish.

If Pickford doesn't drop that on Origi's head, we draw the derby.

If Gomes heads in from a yard out, we might have won it.

If Richarlison doesn't shoot over from six yards out, we might have got something at City.

If Tosun manages to score from a yard out, we probably beat Newcastle.

I don't really see what there is to figure out other than for the players to be better at scoring from inside the six yard box.

Obviously, there's always tactical improvements that can be made and maybe Silva needs to be a bit more astute with his in-game changes, but I can't think of one instance where a mistake from Silva has cost us the points...
