    You really have fallen under the nasty spell of our Evertonian wum haven't you. I have never questioned whether you are a fan - I have asked why you are if you no longer like the club? Until you regain your normal equilibrium I cannot be bothered to answer your sly digs at me.

    I would stay away if I were you Yorkie. It is the Evertonian wum who is poisoning the atmosphere - as you and other Watford fans know Cologne and I enjoy a bit of forthright banter and laugh and get on with it - the wum is just stirring the pot. This board gets sterile when nobody disagrees with anyone else and the two of us have been here long enough to disagree but move on - wummer does not know that and is trying to drive a wedge. Don't let him suck you in too - he is not worth it. If you want to see real nastiness go to some other boards where the Evertonians have really thrown their toys out of the pram.

    When did arse become a swear word?

    I suppose ‘uninformed idiot’ was meant as a term of endearment?

    Not at all hypocritical nor a desperate attempt to claim a faux moral high ground, you blatant liar.

    Idiot is not a swear word - I think you will find *rse is. Mild perhaps but still a swear word. Would you let your children use it - could they at school? Of course not.
    Idiot is a just fair reflection of your IQ I think. Uninformed is also an accurate description as you seem to know nothing about the £15m, £1m, Everton offer, Everton tapping, contract law etc. Come on - you are a wum and I got sucked in trying to be nice and then regretted it. Clear off now. Have a look at your own boards and see the stupid froth your lot are mouthing over the fact your club is going to have to apologise and pay compensation.

    I don't think we are getting far with this. It is all total speculation at present about Silva, so until we know more I could lock the thread and reopen it when there is some actual news. We all have our own views about the issue, but to claim any knowledge is not correct. There is a more interesting sub-discussion going on about how clubs are run, the influence of TV and money within the game, but that would do better as a separate thread. So maybe we can just leave this for now which will save me looking for the lock button.

    Or you could block a non Watford poster who is here to cause trouble.

    I can assure you that I am not under anyone's spell Leo - you accuse me of sly digs but then come out with this ! Just go away and think for a bit before replying and you will realize that I am trying to be objective here. Everton tried to go behind our backs and Silva appears to have done the same, fine....end of story. Trying to build a case around the argument that he effectively downed tools, based on results, is a dodgy wicket to play - one which lacks any juristic proof. Where have I stated that I no longer like the club ? Particularly when I used the word 'love' in my last post. It is because I love the club that I care enough to critcize - if we were taking about the owners of Luton I wouldn't give a damn what they do. As for equilibrium - I would not take away anything I have said so far on this thread, and would encourage you to accept that without resorting to the levels of trying to belittle other posters.

    I didn’t say idiot was a swear word, you’re not good with facts are you?

    If you consider arse to be a swear word then you need to get out more, and I’d also suggest that football forums aren’t for you love. If my intention was to try and wind up Watford fans I’d have been more direct - trust me <laugh> it seems that it’s only you that’s taken issue with my presence, which says more about you than me. The comment you made to your mod about me supposedly ‘driving a wedge’ didn’t sound in any way like paranoid lunacy btw. You just couldn’t handle the fact that the cologne guy had the temerity to agree with my point on employment law, so you decided to find a reason to take a pop at him as well.

    I read your forum btw, and I think you’ll find that the Everton board referenced by it really doesn’t give a knack about any compensation that may or may not be paid. They’re more interested in the merits or otherwise of Silva.

    The last bastion of the desperate, crying for the ban hammer. Tragic.

    Look it up. Mild maybe but still a swear word. Ofcom definition.
    And I did not say you said idiot was a swear word - you factually wrong - again.
    Cologne and I have banter all the time. He is a self confessed anarcho-Kropotkinist communist and one of the best posters on here so we cross swords for fun.
    I tried to be nice to you but you repay me by getting into a heated debate. Go back to your own board. Mods are supposed to prevent outsiders winding people up and that is what I hope OFH will do.
    You have no idea what forum I have referred to so don't tell lies.

    His merits are up there amongst the highest - worth every penny in compensation, and more. As a matter of fact we also have a guy called Holebas who is worth every penny of 70 million+ - you can have him too.

    As a self confessed Anarcho-Kropotkinist Communist (you are as well but you don't realize it - I will prove that one day !) it is obvious that I wish our club to be a syndicalist, worker and fan owned cooperative ! How could it be otherwise ? If we are to be owned (how can you own a club?) by individual capitalists, then they could be a lot worse than the Pozzos.

    No - I suspect I am more a nihilist.

    I don't know, but my fellow dweller in France probably didn't start this thread with the idea that it would evolve into a discussion on the merits or otherwise of a Anarcho-Kropotkinist Communist. Call it day guys, and start a more appropriate thread if you wish.

    It was meant rather tongue in cheek Frenchie, almost a way of bringing a bit of humour back into things.

    Yes I did get it cologne. Humour seems to have been in a short supply today.

    It made me laugh, unlike some of the other comments. Enough is enough I think - we'll all see how it unfolds in the next few days or weeks. Or years in the case of Pozzo-style ownership and Silva's lastability as a manager.

    I do not care whether we get compensation or not for Silva
    I just hope now that they appoint him and he does the same as he did at Hull and Watford, a couple of good results to begin with to provide delusions of adequacy then the inevitable decline ending in relegation enabling Everton to achieve their desire to be a top six club, in the Championship
    They will have lots of ex premiership teams to banter with down there
