Who advises Ehab on searching for a manager? Silva was an unknown entity to everyone yet he arrived on someone's advice. If Ehab can do left field once, surely he can/might try to do it again.
He applied in summer and was turned down by the boy wonder. His agent approached again and Ehab needed someone and decided he now looked good after dismissing the idea of appointing him when we could have had for a full season. Nothing to do with acumen on Ehab's part or an adviser. Does he have any advisers? A waste of money employing advisers when you won't take advice.
Well, that is ominous, as one of Arfur's most famous quotes is: " "You make contact with your customer. Understand their needs. And then flog them something they could well do without.”
Hodgson isnt that bad at club management, **** at the national game............... then again....... who isnt? 46% as manager? thats a bit **** better than SB, I guess.
he is 25/1 on william hill same odds as frank lampard that 10p return is on the exchange which means nothing regarding bookie bets
Of course Ehab deserves some credit for appointing him when he did, even if he was recommended. I agree with much of the criticism of him but its weakened if cant give him credit when he gets something right.. I suspect some of those who are now criticising him for not appointing Silva back in August would have criticised him if he'd done so - just because it's Ehab.
Not at all. His ****ing about before the start of last season in appointing a manager and the consequent scrambling about for players cost us dearly. And I fear it will again this year.
They were chasing the millions from the Chinese in all the preseason instead of looking after the club.
Know 3 people who have died recently. One 11 years younger than me, one 4 years younger and one 3 years younger. As my old French teacher use to shout in exasperation, "For God's sake liven up, we are all dying at the same rate, a day at a time".
I agree his indecision at start of last season was disastrous for us. It was the implication that he should obviously have appointed Silva last August that I thought was 20/20 hindsight.
If he was good enough in January then surely he was good enough in August seeing as he didn't work in the months between so his CV was exactly the same.
