Marco Silva

[AndyZ]

The difference between Martinez and Silva's relegations is that Martinez decayed Wigan slowly from the inside over the course of 4 years whereas Silva was appointed with Hull already on life support and expected to perform a miracle.

I’d rather have a manager that’s done the odd miracle here and there.

Same tbh. If this happens I'll be in the same situation as I was when Martinez was appointed - sceptical but willing to give him a fair crack.

Don't think this is happening, Watford are digging their heels in and his advisors will have informed that leaving a job so soon after starting won't look good. If he does a full year there, has a good season (top half finish or a cup run) then he'll probably get other offers next summer when it will be far easier to pack up and leave.

Would be willing to give him go but just don't see it panning out. With every day that passes it gets more likely that we'll probably just give it to Unsworth for the rest of the season. Definitely don't want that personally but we're badly low on options.

He performed a miracle at Estoril really.

He performed a miracle at Estoril really.

That’s great.

 

[The Blue Watch]

That’s great.

I'm happy we all feel satisfied by this outcome.

Apart from Big Sam obviously.

Remember when @catherintherye said how great a manger Koeman was? Can't wait to see what he has to say here.

Can I remind everyone that the last relegated manager we appointed got us a record premier league points tally and flirted with a champions league place.

BUT YOU ALL KNEW THAT DIDNT YOU.

Holy smoke. Thats nuts.

Absolute madness. Short-sighted, amateurish madness.

Our club is run by a bunch of bellends

Plus Hull were three points clear of the drop with three games to go before they were stuffed at home by an already relegated David Moyes Sunderland, and other tomfoolery

Jesus, abort, abort, abort!

In the 16/17 season with Hull Marco Silva won 21 points from 18 games.

This is an average of 1.166666667 points per game.

Over a 38 game PL season this would be equal to 44.33333333r points.

Last season that would have got you 12th. 2 points off 8th.

Yes he ultimately failed and took Hull down but the job he did with and awful side and limited resources to bring players in was actually pretty damn good in my opinion.

He’s done well in Portugal, Greece and has got Watford playing some good stuff.

We could do a lot worse.

And crashed and burnt the club to 13th, TWICE, but you knew that.
