Clearly a very unhappy man... a has every right to be so.

He said the same thing every other non big 6 manager has said this season. Wasn't angry. People desperately want him to leave every season since he's joined, at the expense of the club, just so they can say "I told you so".

He's not unhappy - the exact interview this is taken from is from the club - he talks in a pretty calm and measured way. Other interviews he's had have expressed his acknowledgement of the club working hard behind the scenes to get things done.

Stop making a mountain out of a molehill when it comes to Marco and his place at the club.

Complete BS article. He calmly said he would have liked to have the new signings to integrate as part of the camp. Of course he would. He's also said last week that 'we' (including himself so not blaming the board) are working hard to bring players in. At no point has he directly blamed the board. Every time he has spoken about the board he has always said what a great relationship he has with them and more importantly that he has always got the exact players that he has asked for. Although he wants players earlier he always says it's not easy so he seems to understand that to get players on his list takes time. Compare his comments to Glasners who really does seem pissed off and not aligned with the owners:

Most mid table clubs are struggling and all the managers have said they would have liked their whole squads by now to prepare for the season but none of them have and most are in a far worse position than us right now.

Indeed I think it must come down to some deeper predisposition with differing personality types at this point. Some appear hell bent on catasrophising every single situation when it comes to Fulham, perenially miserable in the outlook, rushing to the worst possible outcome.

Not to say there aren't fair criticisms and points along the way amongst all of it by the way, of course there's reason for questioning analysis. but my god it can be a real miserable trudge at times.

Goodness. Every year the same thing. Is Marco upset, is he going, will he storm out, blame the owner, blame the owners son, ruining out pre season, late signings too late, rubbish signings, we are all going to die in a vat of cold splurge, kill them all, I hate it all, let me support a club that is perfect and wins everything, Oh why oh why oh why????????

Publications like the Express owe their (surprising) continued existence to reeling in the guillable with their distorted interpretations and mugbait headlines.

The quotes are lifted directly from the after-match interview with Silva on the club's own website. Calm, rational presentation of the facts of the present situation. Doubtless the manager would have preferred a different scenario, but to see him as 'deeply unhappy' and his comments as some kind of tirade against the board pressaging his departure is clearly silly,

[H4usuallysitting]

Sorry... it's the express.... Don't think I need to make any other comments

[Whitestone]

So if he's not unhappy presumably that makes him, well, happy ? Based on solely on comments that can be attributed directly to Silva I would suggest that he is disappointed that we haven't signed the reinforcements we all know that are required. Personally I'd say that he probably isn't happy.

He probably isn't happy about it but it hardly merits "Premier League boss slams club's own transfer business in clear message to owner".

It's how journalists grab your attention - put a construction on it and those who want to hear it that way....etc

[WindyCity]

MS clearly not a happy camper.  But this is nothing new.  EVERY season he has been with FFC it's the same old story.

Wash, rinse, repeat repeat repeat............

[Thailand Mick]

Are we sure this hasn't come from Ben Jacobs, he's been trying to get rid of Marco for 3 years

If he was that unhappy he'd have left by now surely? He had a big money offer to go and manage in the desert.

[Deuce]

Groudhog day. He has been saying this for the past 3 years.

Ofc he wont quite the club over this.

I do however find it worrying that there doesnt seem to be a sincere communication within the hierarchy of the club, as Silva often tend to feel the need to express his feelings regarding this to the media every summer. I mean, really there seems to be a difference of opinion between him and the recruitment team, either that it simply no one has bothered explaining to him what the issue is (if there is any)

[FFC1987]

I didn't sense the hyperbolic levels of aggitation the article alludes to but he's just talking sense in regards to, the best time to integrate players is.....during a pre season tour. It's not a secret. Marco's also a pragmatist and no doubt acknowledges, thats a perfect world scenario, but we don't live in that world. So yeh, he's not going to be walking away when he has such a settled squad, one he's been pushing for.

I accept some of the complaints (including mine) are a bit repetitive, but they're generally based in objective fact rather than the posters' "predisposition". We're a clear outlier in terms of the slowness of our business, the geographic narrowness of our scouting, the age of both our existing squad and new targets, and against most peers, our low net spend, and the high wages we pay. It was agreed by most on here, including the more positive posters like yourself, that at least three or four of those things should/would change this summer, yet it doesn't currently look like any will. Pretty hard to interpret/spin that positively, whatever your personality type.
