I have Chris's number in my phone as I have met him a few times, sold him a car when he was at Northampton Town, decent bloke, down to earth, could he handle the pressure of the Premier League, I'm not sure.

Not advocating the appointment of Wilder, just using him as an example. Silva's doing his best to prove he can't handle it at the moment.
 
To be fair 7 months to turn things around isn’t that long and in fairness, people are right in saying that prior to Pickford throwing the game at Anfield we looked in pretty decent shape.

Seven months is enough time, with the squad we've got, to be able to see progress and at least show we can get through small blips. This is not a small blip form is is actually as bad as his form at Watford. He's a short-term manager. Can get a team playing well for a few months but as no idea how to turn things around when it's going wrong.

Honest question, if this guy for example (Chris Wilder) had exactly the same managerial career as Silva, would we have gone in for him?

I think Moshiri was dreaming of the new Pochetino. Silva looks the part, has the right sorta name, says the right things, but he just hasn't got what it takes.

He hasn't got dark greased back hair, and speak with a sexy soft foreign accent.
 
His main Achilles heel is the set pieces and he seems unwilling or incapable of sorting it out.

It's cost us far too many points where we would be sitting 7th easily without the mistakes

When you couple that with huge individual errors such as Pickford against the rs, Keane against Leicester, Pickford and Zouma against Spurs, Jagielka away to Wolves, they just further add to the misery.

If we were looking tight then the team would relax a little more and because we don't create much, only 1 chance would do it for us. The problem we have is we concede silly goals and then need a couple of goals to win which we just aren't capable of. We've been awful for years going a goal down and not coming back to get a result so it's nothing new. We've just never had a "win at all costs" attitude since the 80's.

A win against Cardiff and beating the rs would suddenly put us around about where we should be and give everyone a massive boost. Unfortunately he seems to think giving the lads a holiday and time off is deserved which is total misreading of the fanbase and will only further alienate him.

He's on borrowed time for sure barring a couple of wins in the next two games.

A lot of this could have easily been avoided but I said the same with Martinez and Koeman, sometimes managers are just too stubborn for their own good

I was not in favour of appointing Silva in the first place, but we did and now I think we need to think very carefully before we decide to sack yet another manager.
At the very least we would need to have his replacement ready for now or at worst the summer.
I think that if we do sack him the next manager needs to have experience and have been successful in the stronger leagues.
I think Silva will get until the summer at least, at that stage we will see what plans Brands has for the future and I would not be surprised if the manager stays but maybe there could be changes in the coaching staff.
The terms of the contract with Silva would make very interesting reading.
 
We don’t have a game this weekend, because Marco Silva managed to guide his side to defeat against one of the worst teams in England’s second division.

Now he’s talking about using the extended break to give his players a ‘deserved’ break.

This whole club is rotten.

The players need a rest, that much is clear.

Regardless of whether it's 'deserved' or not, they're clearly knackered. So yes, the rest is required.

It's a shame it's come about because we were knocked out of the cup - a huge shame. But 3-4 days without training will probably do them good.
 
Nobody wants to sack another manager.

But who really has the appetite to stick with Silva when you look at what he's put out this last two and a half months.

There's not one redeeming quality anymore.

We can't defend, we can't attack. We look useless on the ball. He's not exactly brought the young players on leaps and bounds.

So what's the point?

10 losses in 16 matches is plainly not good enough.

Look at the team's we have beat and none of them are surprises.

I've got zero faith in him at the moment. I don't see him getting anything from these remaining home games var Burnley. People are saying "well we're only 9th" and are failing to see that we've played all our easy home games and still have terrible away form.

It's bad, bad, bad.
