with Rowett, we'd get relegated instead of you... no wonder you want that. face it, you'll be facing Aston Villa next season.
The Portuguese football reporter, who's been on 5Live and RH this evening, has been positively gushing about Silva. Plays good attacking football. Gets the absolute best out of every player. Unblemished coaching record, the players love him. Etc, etc, etc...
Steve Bruce is a decent enough manager but there is no way they're getting promoted. Rowett worked wonders in English football with a poor squad and a terrible budget. He's perfect for you.
I sit here typing this, with my arms folded, head shaking gently side to side, quietly hurrumphing to myself, 'Ok, fella, impress me if tha' can'.
At least Silva is not one of the usual round of suspects for English managerial posts, a new face on the scene might be worth a punt. If he is appointed I fear for any good reputation he has built up once the power of the curse of the Allams starts to take hold.
That's what everyone said about your funny little man (forgotten his name, and it wasn't Rowett, but...) I think we have most the squad to suit a footballing manager, I think it's a good appointment from what little we know.
