2019/20 Marco Silva

[Bruce Wayne]

He's reached the end of a 5 year term and turned them into contenders rather.

Remember when it was us and Spurs being the best of the rest? Then suddenly we got left behind.

Spot when things started to change.

Found your level Marco lad. Apply now.

...I don’t think Moshiri has much idea about football but I certainly wouldn’t blame him for player signings. Indeed, he appears not to interfere with that aspect of the club, which is how it should be. Moshiri can be criticised for managerial/DoF appointments, but not players.

It’s strange with you, Dave. You pick and chose who you think is responsible for good and bad signings. Brands is accountable for signings under his tenure, and Walsh is accountable for all signings under his tenure. The role of the DoF is to sign off all signings.

You might chose to ignore this, but Steve Walsh brought Tosun in. It wasn’t Moshiri and it wasn’t Allardyce. Indeed, I got the impression Allardyce wasn’t keen on the lad.

It’s fine to form opinion on Moshiri or Brands, you might well be correct but it’s wrong to be selective on the evidence you choose to support your views.

It's not as simple as that.

Moshiri DID play a major part in deciding Tosun came in - we have documentary evidence on that; Koeman DID make most of the signings in his tenure...unless you think he came out in the press months before many of the players came in to pariase them and declare an interest in them was at Walsh's behest; and Brands has told us what the dynamic is here: he has final say on players coming in.

He's only redeeming quality is that he speaks Portuguese and can communicate with Brazilians.

Hi Davek, I didn't get your point. Can you please elaborate?

My point is that it's unjust to blame Silva and sack him, but to leave the real culprit in his job - Brands.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Giving Silva time means we have totally given up.

Dave but you said Nisase was not bought by Martinez. You just can’t take the bit you like that suits your argument.

This is more than a rough patch chief, We can't score we can't defend, Teams don't even have to play well to beat us, Let's remember he had a rough patch last year too so it's not like this isn't a fat warning sign to people.
One of the fairest set of opening fixtures which he's completely fluffed, Mosh took the gamble and it's failed so we get someone else in.

That's a great point, teams aren't even having to work hard to beat us, we are literally laying it on a plate for them game in game out

I believe in Santa Claus more than this fraud.

He didn't. That's what I was told by a scout at FF.

But that's the model, the dof oversees the project long term the coach can change.

Brands never got to pick Silva, the sooner we let him decide who to get in the better. Marco Bronze has to go this week.

He’s not even a bronze mate.

He’s one of those who who trips at the first hurdle and finishes dead last.

The league cup game will be the crunch one.

Really? We’re in the bottom three, I don’t give a stuff about the league cup.
