I've been trying in the Silva thread to get an idea of what people want and expect in regards to the manager and the job to be done with the squad. Lots of shouts to sack but not much idea of the details of what to do next.
I don't think you have to be a DOF to have an opinion or suggestions on this.
An overall joined up plan taking everything into consideration.
So what's your option and the how's and whys of it? And then how long does the next boss get? (I have way too much time on my hands this week, so apologies for all the long posts)

- I don't think we have the money to get a top level manager like Jose Conte or Mancini, and if we did we don't have the money for the signings they would want. I also don't think the risk is worth it right at this moment after the money we have already wasted. If you think this is the best plan after Silva, how do we do it and what's your thoughts on the wage bill we'd have to manage, on the financial risk and getting past FFP?
- I don't think we can reach our goals of pushing the top 6 and beyond by getting in what some fans see as a solid manager, who would probably/possibly get better results off the bat but would be moving us away from any plan to challenge in the future. See our last two managers or Moyes or Dyche or Wagner or Rafael for this example. If this is your shout after we sack Marco, with them how do we go about getting to the type of football that would see us making the CL? What are you looking for for the next few seasons? Is it just a return to our best of the rest status and not much more?
- I do think we need the third option, considering the financial limitations mentioned in 1 and the goals for the future mentioned in 2. A prospect with some track record but who would be a gamble. Could even be an older manager but untried in England. Somebody who brings the possibility of something more with the possibility of failure rather than the guarantee of average to good but with no possiblity of something more as mentioned in 2. Somebody who can bring the type of football needed to get to where we want to go.
