One day we'll get a brickie or a carpenter by trade who can board up our goal.
Confirmed:
I think so. I've seen elsewhere that Silva's advisors/agent talked to the toffee noses... I think they have done to him what he was going to do to them. However defensive Gracia's teams are, they cannot bas woeful going forward as we have been in recent weeks.
It's a strange footballing Prem. I just hope we survive, going down means it'll be so hard to get up again. (oh la la)
There is another element here - he is actually Basque and not Spanish (This is a requirement for playing for Athletic Bilbao) so maybe he wants to turn us into a workers cooperative !!!! 
They could put all the players on the same wages - and how strange it is that they pay most of our players more than the manager, yet expect absolute loyalty from him but can remove him at any moment.
If he is a guy who can grind out results I am not worried about the pretty stuff
This must be the classic case of one person speaking Russian and the other answering in Greek - namely posting and reply have nothing to do with each other

The part about paying all players the same was said very much tongue in cheek SH. It would be desirable but very unlikely to happen. In terms of loyalty, this is something which works 2 ways. I can only really have loyalty to my employer if he/she has the same towards me. If I have the feeling that he/she would get rid of me at any time for economic reasons, or because I don't fit in with their long term planning, or simply my face doesn't fit - If I have the feeling that they are 'playing the field', then I can do the same. I didn't like Silva as a manager - he was egotistic, stubborn, and held personal grudges against some players. He was also unsuccessfull on the pitch - statistically worse than either Mazzari or Silva. I do not like the idea of having one manager to get us promoted, another manager to see us over the first season in the Prem. another manager to take us a bit further etc. etc. It sends out the message that even if a manager is successfull in their goal then they will be pushed aside having achieved it. Both Jokanovic and Flores achieved their goal, wanted to stay, and were pushed aside - so why should a manager wait for the inevitable if a better offer comes in in the meantime ? There was a time where 'loyalty' was a part and parcel of being at Watford - we even had players taking voluntary wage cuts in the past, but those days have gone.
