    Is this a prelude to Steptoe and Son selling the club??

    Everything crossed obviously it comes good but.....
    Being an old bastard I remember Mike Smith's interview with Peter Ward on Mudbank after Ken Houghton got downsized,
    Smithy was a superb communicator, did really well as Wales manager, came with Lea and Brown as his team, all with impressive cvs, promotion ahoy etc....but zero experience as a league manager in the third tier.
    The rest as they say is history.

    We played some really good football under Phelan but, the lack of quality, and numbers, was always going to catch up on us - if they don't let this guy have some money he'd better have brought a magic wand with him cos' no matter how he shuffles names about we still won't have any full backs and we still won't have any ****er capable of scoring a 'double digit' number of goals. Hull City history says it'll end in waterworks ........ fingers crossed for a good outcome.

    I can't see how Silva can improve the shortcomings of our attackers ( our main weakness).
    I remain sceptical about the war chest at his disposal.
    I remain sceptical about getting the type of players we need to come here, given our league position, our toxic name etc
    If this appointment had been made in June or July, we might have seen a completely different scenario.
    Ehab seems chuffed with himself. 6 months too late mate.

    It's difficult to argue with any of your points; at least Rehab has stayed honest to the family principle of ''no-one tells them how to run their business'' though - more's the pity, the nugget him!

    Please bookmark this one. We will not be relegated. We never do first season relegation from the PL.

    Will be interesting to see who he brings in, maybe have a couple of gems from Portugal hidden away.

    Ehaw has fallen out with all our managers since Nigel Pearson, usually over money. Doesn't augur well for new chap does it?

    This job won't have done Phelan any harm because of the situation he was in under the Allams.

    Well I'm excited - don't know if anyone else has commented on this, but - Marco called us "Hull City" more than once in his press conference!

    Ehab's linked to Silva through mutual friends?

    I don't think so.

    Not only don't I think they have any mutual friends, I don't think Ehab has any friends at all (even his wife hates him).

    Maybe; friends was a term of phrase, but there is definitely a link, whatever it may be.

    There is definitely something going on. I don't think you (some players) are too much more aware than anyone else.
