That would be your mate Bruce, he would of had his list of targets before he walked. When the deals were done we had no manager but the Allams had made it clear that they didn't want Phelan by approaching every manager and his dog, oddly enough they couldn't put a deal together with any of them. Phelan took the job that no one else would weeks after the transfer window had closed. Or the Chinese.
Apparently Marco and his team were available, and willing to come, at the point that Phelan was confirmed as manager.
Go on then you tell me who chose the signings we got and who authorised the payments because the sale of the club was a done deal. Nowt to do with Bruce he had walked out, nowt to do with Phelan they didn't want him as manager and nowt to do with the Allams.
No, it's not an exaggeration. So far, it's been a phenomenal impact. Not just on the style of play, but on the players' attitudes.
That's right, it is; his and the supporters who gave the owners the oxygen to feed their cancerous fight against the club's name, history, community credibility and family support. Jesus had nothing to do with it.
Ehab said it in his Yorkshire post interview. They approached Marco Silva in January because he had applied for the job in the summer. He was rejected because he wanted to bring on his own team. They didn't want that expense of severing the contracts of all the back room staff. As it turned out they all went to Villa anyway.
We are one point off the bottom and knocked out the cup. Way to go get before we hail a miracle team. Good signs, but maybe if we manage to actually win a few games I'll concede they are worth the gushing praise.
