Has he actually been appointed yet?
Until he has I'm not getting carried away, one way or the other.
Been here before have we not?

if he is meeting them at the training ground at 1pm tomorrow, my guess is that he wont waste any time.
Agreed. Two cup games to work on the team before next league game. Points are still to be played for and the game is not over yet.
Righy, okay. Every player on the pitch is now encouraged to be more attacking. How's our CB doing?
According to the modern doctrine there is no difference between FB and WB. Or is it the positions around them we need to consider, too?
Would you say Walker and Rose are competent FBs?
Is it usual that FB will have 2 x CB and a Winger covering him. Or that a WB will have 3 x CB and, hopefully, a F covering him?
I don't have the answer to our defensive frailties. Individually they are all good enough, collectively they have been a shambles. I don't know if he's fit yet - but Alex Bruce was excellent at that central centre half (Probably off to Villa) but I'd definitely consider him as an option.
I'll keep my eye on training tomorrow over the back fence. I'm on the sick with flu so have time on my hands.
**** progressing in the cup games, its worth sacrificing them just so we maintain our EPL status, mind you the more games that Silva can get his teeth into, for a practice... the better.
Silva doesn't need to do anything extraordinary with the formation. All he has to do is remind the players how to play football.
I'm hoping for revolutionary ideas like:
Strikers facing the opposition goal when they receive the ball.
Strikers receiving the ball below neck height.
Players pressing opposition defenders.
Midfielders playing in the middle of the field.
Players making three or four intelligent passes instead of one 'Hollywood'.
Players using passing instead of panic as a means of relieving opposition pressure.
And a nice warm bench for anyone who lacks either the temperament or the technical ability to play proper football.
Oh yes, he could also amaze them by demonstrating how to take a throw-in.
Well volunteered BlackAndAmberGambler, can you make sure in particular they practise defending corners, throw ins and goalie training, thanks. Oh, get well soon also.
hmm didnt he categorically state that he wouldnt be going??
he came to Hull as there was a shortage in defenders... there is plenty at Villa.
Training was cancelled for today and tomorrow, the players have been told to come to the training ground to meet the new manager/head coach at lunchtime tomorrow.
Shut the **** up with the whining, you whinging Aussie tart ...... me, me, me, me, me ...... and they reckon Poms whinge
Eh?
I was asked about Ibra and responded, that was about the extent of it. Oh well.
Don't think we've had foreign press and others reporting a manager has signed, to the extent they know the specific terms of the contract.
