    The comment by Garth Crooks was interesting, given that Pardew is a Sky Sports pundit who was at the game. He said that Silva could force things by quitting, but it might trigger something similar to a situation he found himself in in September 2003, which some of you may remember. He resigned from Reading after being refused permission to become West Ham manager. John Madejski attempted to create an injunction in the High Court to prevent Pardew from moving. Eventually Reading's legal action was dropped, and Pardew joined West Ham after a period of gardening leave.
    Pardew said that he regrets that it came to that, and if it did happen with Silva, it wouldn't do him or either club any good.

    Dont like to say this but there has been some bets with most bookies that he is going so his odds have come down (or a large bet that has been offloaded) not looking good

    Richard Keys appears to think that he is in the know - and that Silva is leaving.

    Thankfully he only works for the Express.

    When you consider that people are apparently laying bets at 10/1 that Koeman will be their next manager, you have to wonder if that means anything at all.

    Sorry to say but that is just paper talk Koeman is not even on the list but you can have W .Rooney at 100/1 (even if he has not got his badge LOL) MS is odds on with every bookie they dont want to take any bets on him . he will be gone before the week end

    He was. Interestingly Ange Postecoglu is 66/1 - could be worth a small flutter given his World Cup pedigree...

    According to the bookies we will have a general election next year, Corbyn will get the most seats, but it will be another hung parliament.

    I don't bet by the way. :emoticon-0103-cool:

    I am sure that most who contribute on here would be quite capable of similar creative writing. Still look at the source.

    yes i thought as much.....
    one point he raises though is that Silva has a bit of a track record as a mercenary... and we know that the Pozzo let him down over Amrabat ... so his allegiance to us may be low...

    Bit conflicting - says he should go but isn't good enough for Everton!

    They might well want Dyche and Sam A but they didn't want to join them .

    These articles are taken from stuff he said on his blog.
    Essentially he says that he has heard Silva is taking the job but he advises Everton against it.
    2 stories, 1 blog.
