In all seriousness , I aren't going to pretend I didn't want him to stay or that he was ****e, because I did and he wasn't - but the way we folded like a pack of cards on the last 3 games makes his departure a touch easier , particularly the palace debacle - it means we lost a good manager but not quite the untouchable messiah it looked like we might lose - good luck to Marco tho , no hard feelings from me
Well I suppose there is the so called 'Champions' League. I don't follow it but I'd guess that's more of a longshot than winning the Portugese League.
Why do journalists never ask the pertinent questions such as, was it Silva or Ehab that decided the one year option would only be triggered if we survived in the Premier League? The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
chances of him repeating what mourinho did at porto aka winning europa league and champions league are about erm zilch he will be a success there if he wins something that is not the portuguese cup league or european trophy only
Even though we went down with a whimper his 'preferred option' would be to manage a premier league club. Good luck with that. He would be better off doing a Benitez with us but it seems Silva's overdeveloped sense of self-worth will probably get the better of him.
He's currently unemployed and is going to go with whatever job he feels is the right move for him, that's not an 'overdeveloped sense of self-worth', it's common sense. Who the **** thinks a job in the English second tier, working for a complete bellend, is better than managing Porto?
Some people think the world begins and ends with the Premier League and La Liga. You know, Sky pundits.
I don't think he'll take any permanent contracts we have, at a push - maybe Clucas or Hudd. Although, Clucas' fee wouldn't represent value for them. Can't recall a British player doing well out there. That said, I can only recall Gauld and McPhee playing in Portugal.
