he has never managed porto.
and by your way of thinking we should be all over roy hodgson who kept palace up and actually got them a mid table finish when they hadn't even scored a goal let alone got a point.
He managed Lisbon, my mistake.
And no that's not my logic. Hodgson is in his 70s and achieved nothing of note with any team he ever managed, at club or international level. Crystal Palace have some decent players in their squad like Sakho, Benteke, Cabaye, Von Bronckhorst, Dann. All he achieved there was organising them and getting their form back up to their normal levels.
Silva is very young, flexible in his tactical approach, won trophies in more than one country, went an entire season unbeaten and got very limited outfits in Hull and Watford to perform well above their talent levels.
If you don't agree he's the man for the job fair enough but don't twist what I was trying to say, trying to infer that I think someone like Hodgson is good enough for us is absolutely moronic.
