Its not too difficult for Ehab to plan ahead. He must properly knew Silva was leaving shortly after the Sunderland result. He knew he made a mess last summer and will want to avoid doing it again. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a short-list already and it may even be a short list of one.
If we have a short-list of one expect an announcement within days of Silva saying goodbye. Whilst we have confusion over our name, no concessions and falling attendances we'll never be a well run club.
Unfortunately, based on Ehab's history and his planning acuity, I wouldn't be surprised if his short-list isn't one man shorter than this.
Only when the one turns up for the interview and Ehab tells him the terms and conditions, the one will say no thanks i'm better off staying on the dole.
Yes it did. Ehab: "Hi, Ho, Silva --ha,ha,ha..it cracks me up everytime" Marco the Messiah: "Yes, Senhor Ehab, thank you, now I am off to Oporto." Ehab: "Ah yes, Porto, tell me Marco, isn't that where Sherry originated from?" Marco the Messiah: "Goodbye Senhor Ehab - we will never meet again." Ehab: "Porto? Is that just upstream from Portsmouth?, a suburb I suppose - you could do better and just stay here Marco - better league you know. Ha, ha, ha, come back Marco, I was only joking, Everyone knows that Porto is in Lisbon OK. OK, hey, come back Marco. We need to discuss your future here at Hull City Tigers"
As stupid as the Allams are, they are not complete idiots when it comes to business, they will know been in Premier league is the way to get their asking price. They will know they need to have a manager, coaching staff, and recruitment plan in place before June 30th to avoid the situation last year. Seeing what MS did, how he did it, and what he needed, I am sure they will do the necessary. I expect a young hungry manager, either from lower leagues who has built a club, or more likely, and overseas manager with his own staff and a development plan
The wait is giving me hope he might be open to staying? Surely if he's going it would be announced by now.
