I know it's today.

But I can't see why anyone would jump to shout anything other than he is staying. Which he will not be in any position to confirm at this point. Similarly he won't be sure he is going.

Hopefully they agree a plan to stay if nothing else arises. If not he won't leave until he gets another job regardless.

I don't think his decision on staying or going will be based on waiting to see if he gets another job, I expect him to either commit or walk.

As I understand it, the meeting he's having isn't to get an offer, he's got that already, it's to advise if he's accepting it or not.
 
If Silva leaves I expect the owners to look abroad again.

Looking abroad again? They didn't look abroad for Silva, he came to them last summer and they weren't interested. They only took him on after being approached by his agent. They can't look again when they haven't looked before.

Fair point.
 
I don't care enough to get all melodramatic and OTT agreeing with a post that begins ''Has anyone else logged in, with a deep breath'' ...... which is what my original post was about.
This was my post:
"Are we expecting an announcement unless it's that he's staying? I'd assume it will be made after the Spurs game."

I'm not sure which part of that is melodramatic, OTT or agreeing with that post? Or why that groups 'myself and others of a similar nature'?

I don't give a **** what your original post was, I wasn't responding to that, I was responding to the touchy-feely types who are getting all giddy at the thought of Silva leaving - I assumed that your taking umbrage at my original quip meant that you were of a similar ilk. Just for clarity, I don't give a toss either way.

Clearly.

I'd tell him to make his mind up pronto. The last thing we need is another summer of managerial appointment procastination, coupled with owners 'just in time' stock control policy regarding signing players.

I fully agree. Im not sure I like the idea of him mulling things over and waiting for a better offer from another club (if that is in fact what he's doing).

You either want the job or you dont Marco :-)

As I said previously, he's doing exactly the same as Rafa did this time last year - be utterly non-committal either way while making it clear as day that he's open to offers. The only way he'll stay is if nothing he fancies comes forward.

Cant say I blame him.
