Marco Silva

Indeed.

James Keach played Jesse James.

And the Carradines played Cole Younger and his brothers.

Dennis and Randy Quaid played a set of brothers as well, and think Christopher Guest and his brother played the Fords.

I think we will be at a stalemate here soon, cos I don't think Watford will budge, and I don't think Silva is going to resign.
Moshiri is just stupid enough to drive the circus up to Burnley and start the process all over again. I think Burnley will be more amenable, but we may spending an obscene amount to get him, on Koeman wages

Not tolerated on here pal. We're a little more sophisticated than you give us credit for.

but tbh the majority are the same thick-as-mince LOL merchants

I know you think we're all thick Northeners who go round waving our brexit flags and beating up gays, but we're still having your gaffer.

There's always calm before the storm.

It'll be done soon. Next 24 hours. Either way.

Fantastic film. Superb soundtrack.

We can try and spend an obscene amount of money on Silva or Dyche and when they both say no, appoint Unsworth and go down

Or, Moshiri can actually think a little bit outside the PL bubble for once and go and get us a Quique Setien or a Tata Martino in the dugout. Both would be better options than the 2 mentioned above IMHO.

Moshiri knows as much about football as we do about squirrelling away the proceeds of state assets for clients.

 

[chrissyjack]

We'd better get this sorted ,before West Brom get him

 

[AdaBrummieblue]

Quique Setien

?

Tata Martino

and indeed, ?

 

[Kenshin]

Part of me hopes west Brom hire Silva just to make the board look foolish again tbh

Be interesting to see how quickly west Brom hire a manager compared to our clown college of a board

 

[nsno-chris]

The fume when West Brom sweep in and steal AVB 2nd will be quite hilarious

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

Can Silva not buy himself out of his current contract or something, and then get a nice signing on fee from us?

No way this is happening unless we offer 20/30m for him, Watford are digging in, Silva will have to force the move.

It's obvious he wants to come here, much bigger club, better squad and more funds available in the transfer windows than he'd get at Watford.

Kenwright said he was astonished at his knowledge of the game when he first met and got to know him.

But carry on making things up Davek, he's very good friends Jorge Mendes as well.

There are a couple of elite managers currently out of work. Whilst we may not be the most attractive project right now and maybe we've sounded them out and we've been told to do one but offering that kind of money as an incentive would no doubt change their opinion.
I think Silva looks a good manager, he could be the next Pochettino or he could be another Martinez. 10-15m is an awfully lot of money to find out which he is.

Exactly my thoughts. And we have a squad that was assembled for 200 M past year or so and we cannot just bin half of those players for loses.

What does our board want exactly? What has Silva done so far that makes them feel he can get us competing among top 6, sort out the defence and add stability to the club?

my uneducated guess is he can only buy him self out if it's written in his contract that he can do so. He could try to resign but Watford are well within their rights to refuse that. Make no mistake about it Watford hold all the cards with this one.
I think it has to happen, like Siggurdson in the summer it's clear he wants to at least talk to us and once it gets to this point it's difficult for either us or Watford to turn back it's just about finding that magic number Watford will accept. Whatever happens now Watford come out of this looking far better than we do.
