Black Saturday

Proof? Do you see no connection between Moshiri's months long pursuit of him and us eventually getting him? None whatsoever? All circumstantial?

Brands was approached in 2016
Do you not think it’s posdible that he was contacted again and again
Do you not think he agreed to join well in advance of his starting date and was consulted over Koemans successor
I’m not stating it as fact ( as you stated your point was) but it’s just as possible as your scenario.
I also remember you saying Silva will do
He wasnt in my top 4 choices because of his Martinez tendencies in defence but I’ll back him till he shows he no longer deserves the job.
Plus I have faith in Marcel to get the right players in.
Silva surely knows what’s wrong and if he can’t sort it alone then Marcel will help him
By buying / loaning 3 defenders it shows they realised the problems
We have one CH banned one injured and still have Mina ,Zouma and Holgate to pick from.
That’s a big change from any squad in the last 5 years
Never change Dave keep on wummimg and keep up the negativity

 

[Brisan123]

It’s an all too familiar feeling to every other transition. We just threw away points to effin Bournemouth!

We won’t be the last team to do that I gaurantee you
Lads on here wanted Eddie Howe as our manager

Once we’re through Blue Monday, we’ll be fine.

How does it feel ?

 

[Brisan123]

Must be thinking of the season later. Worse in a way, because that’s when it all turned to crap.

5 goals conceded in three games is not acceptable. Obviously I’ll give him time, but he has to be making drastic changes to this team.

You do know he has bought/ loaned 3 DEFENDERS who are as yet not fully up to speed to do exactly that
Plus he has 2 midfielders who have not played a minute yet
If you and Dave ever go fo a pint together warn the publican first
He will need counselling afterwards

Proof ???

He doesn't need proof to claim something to be true. You've been here long enough to know that.

New manager Three games in , new signings yet to play but will bed in in time, we’re as yet unbeaten and despite all that the skies falling in .

 

[Brisan123]

I wonder does Dave realise Silva has signed 2 good Brazilians and 3 Barcelona players ( all full international ) and not the spine of a relegated Wigan side ( Robles Alcaraz McCarthy and the wage robber Kone )

Matters not, Saint Bobby bought them, that`s all that matters.

To which Brands still had a choice of not to work with or accept the job. My take is Brands had been in the pipeline for a while and would have been asked about the Silva appointment but that is just speculation like yours.

...and speculation of yours...but you call that "my take on it".

He’s actually thought that starting with Jagielka and Baines in games is a good idea. That has to worry you?

 

[Brisan123]

On a brighter note I came back yesterday from a great week away with the wife and her granddaughter , had a few pints last night and going out for a Carvery and a few pints to watch the 4 o clock game.
Oh and Everton are unbeaten and have some classy players to come in to the side

 

[Brisan123]

And you would rather he started 3 new players who barely know each other’s names , have never played together and aren’t match fit right so.
An under 10s girls team manager wouldn’t do that

I said mine was speculative also

The water will have to turn to wine first mate....Or should that be "whine " hmmm

Imagine starting the league campaign with a first choice 33 year old left back instead of a 25 year old player who's last 3 clubs have been Barcelona, PSG and Milan.
