I have only once had the opportunity to see us play at the KC during Silva's reign, unfortunately for me it was last week against Sunderland. I have attended away matches at Chelsea, Fulham, Arsenal and Leicester. On the evidence of my own eyes, then, I have little faith in Silva. Today we were shocking. Nobody was any good. We were ****. And yet I'm surrounded by fellow supporters chanting Marco Silva's name, begging him not to leave. The first goal was as the result of a stupid mistake by a nervous player, the second was another woeful example of Silva's insistence on playing zonal marking, the third was a clear penalty given away by possibly the worst player on the pitch whose inclusion meant Harry was nullified at right back, I wasn't paying attention when the fourth went in. Elmo has been awful all season yet he kept his place, N'Diaye should have been hooked off for Huddlestone, he was so terrible. Grosicki tried but there was too much hesitation and he rarely got the ball back after passing and running on. Niasse tried hard to no effect. Clucas looked out of his depth. I doubt his pass completion was much over 50%. I'm sure there were some other players involved but I can't remember who they were now. And yet, 'Marco Silva, we want you to stay!' is ringing out after being thrashed by a mediocre team and not having a shot on target all game, and now we are relegated. We did have a run of games in which we did well, but when it came to the games that mattered we folded. That has to be at least partly the responsibility of Silva. The idea that other Premier league clubs will be interested in him is totally ****ing laughable.

Our only hope of keeping him is that all other clubs realise he ultimately flatters to deceive and that his endeavours fold like a house of cards when the going gets tough.

I'm suddenly feeling a whole lot more hopeful.


Zonal marking?

Persistence with playing larkers woefully out of form?

Asking players to play in positions for which they are obviously not suited?

Leaving your most creative player on the bench?



No self-respecting club is going to touch this clown with a barge pole.


We're keeping him.

Now we are officially relegated and the season is over

Think a new thread should be had

Do we want silva to stay? It's a complete yes from me
Ofcourse not everything he has done was perfect

But he is clearly a brilliant manager and we need stability with a man that has vision

Will he stay? Very much doubt it

I have no idea who we could get in

Rowett is out of the picture

Pardew?
Mclaren?
Brown?

I think we should take a manager from a small club that never does anything. Someone like Monk.

of course Silva should stay, but if he will or wants to is a different matter. I can see him going right after the Spurs game, then wait for offers. At that time I'd ask Ian Ashbee to take it on with Deano is no2.
 
Doesn't sound like somebody who is already out the door. It obviously doesn't mean he's staying though.

If you want to take it as a joke. That's down to you...We won't be exactly rolling in dosh next season, not after the Alarms seek to slash expenditure, A cut price management team might be the only team they're prepared to fund so we won't be shopping in the list of 'Who's Who' of proven managers.. More like who is cheap and available.

Hold on fella. I wouldn't go that far down the barrel...Some might see it as a joke, but I'd like to see Ian Ashbee given a go with Deano...I reckon they'd do a half decent job with limited resources, but of course there was loads of variables to attach first. Sadly, I can't see the Alarms pi$$ing off or been willing to bring in a proven man, therefore this kind of appointment might be an option.

Deans doing a good job as an ambassador. He shouldn't t be anywhere near a managers job or coaching role.

Posters will knock it. But if I was an owner desperate to get back at the first attempt I'd get warnock in.
Did a brilliant job keeping Rotherham. Got Cardiff going too when they were in trouble.

When he sees whathe's got here and he's allowed to add to it. We'd piss it.

The club my need characters for buoyancy. He's certainly one of those..if not Deano then a Justin Whittle in an assistant role..I'm only putting out names I ain't for one minute saying that Ian Ashbee will be the next City manager. Though I reckon they could do worse.
