The new manager is irrelevant as those twats won't sign anyone good, they're just gonna take the cash and run and we'll implode but at least they'll be gone so happy days!
Cheers HFFP. Any Portugese players he may go for?Great Appointment!!
He's great and his teams play proper football. He's extremely smart and speaks english that's no problem.

Silva is bringing his own staff, I reckon - a 'pre-pack', maybe?The new manager is irrelevant as those twats won't sign anyone good, they're just gonna take the cash and run and we'll implode but at least they'll be gone so happy days!
He might bring some new ideas but we need some new bodies.
He might not have the right connections to get PL standard bodies in in the next 3 weeks.

I was hoping for the next CR.Really don't think so. The better ones won't change from Sporting, Benfica, Porto etc to City. He brought a few gems that played in Portugal like Sebá and Pardo to Olympiakos but they wouldn't get permission from the FA.
Well he's going to have to pull some players out of the hat from somewhere. As it stands we haven't got a prayer with what's currently in the building.
My concern is he'll try and mess with the formation and there really isn't enough games left to do that. He needs to use the current formation and introduce some better quality in key areas. RB, CF maybe attacking midfield. He needs to remove Marshall and look at the defence, individually ok, but as a unit they've been far too sloppy.
Someone posted this earlier... and I cant stop singing it...
Hi Ho Silva's Tigers.... !!!... we've needed a new song for ages now...
Did he go to school with Christiano Ronaldo by any chance ?If it is Marco Silva then that is a belting appointment, When I first heard the news last night I was originally furious but the more I thought about it the more I realised it was the correct decision. Now don't get me wrong I want the Allams out but I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt as if they are bringing Silva in then they also have to be willing to spend money in the transfer window as he wouldn't come if there wasn't money to be spent. And lets face it when you compare the managerial stats of Marco Silva and Mike Phelan, I defiantly know which one I would rather let spend the clubs money! And to anyone who says 'no thanks I would rather have Gary Rowett' please take yourself to the nearest padded cell and lock yourself in it! Gary Rowett maybe one day will be a premier league manager but lets face it the guys biggest achievement is taking a Birmingham team to near the play offs! Hardly an amazing feat is it, whereas Silva has been successful everywhere he has been, including managing in the champions league. He will also clearly have more chance of attracting the level of player we require. Again if it is Silva and the Allams give him money to spend then for once they have got it right!
Could it be the
Silva Dream Machine?
I was hoping for the next CR.
Who are his backroom team? Anyone we might know?
OLympiacos have a couple of Portugese players.Assistant coach is João Pedro, physical trainer Gonçalo Pedro and Rifa scout. I don't remember the goalkeeping coach.
