Looking more inevitable you'd imagine and we are likely to have confirmation in next day or so. Issue will now be most suitable replacement? If there is the slightest possibility of enticing Iraola or Pochettino then go full out for either.

At least we scored from set pieces

I've broadly been Silva in but he clearly wants a "better" job. If he's not appointed boss of Benfica then he'll jump ship in the off-season if a better post comes up and that would be enormously destabilising. Best part ways and get a new manager in asap. I assume we've done some planning on that front, although that may be naive.

Can someone explain to me that if Marco said he hasn't spoken to Benfica and its nonsense and he tends to be a man of genuine integrity, how he's gone from not speaking to them and nothing being there to him being the new manager of benefica in less than a day?

because it's a BS, Silva will sign a new Fulham deal soon imo.

After the last 10 performances and the lack of passion from most players, I want a new manager. His passion and fire is what was so attractive. That carries through to the players. Big lot of nothing going on right now.

Before the Cottage door swings shut behind him shove out Muniz and ESR. Harry will already have gone.

Sorry to say but I hope not.

I also took note of this, it actually annoys me more than anything else about the situation. For once he adresses a rumour, something he always refuses to do, and at first opportunity he lies about it?  Or, ok, "bends the truth". Nevertheless.

Based upon his latest statement I really don't think he has made a decision. Reading between the lines, and I could be wrong,I think he is making sure ownership is as ambitious as he is. If he gets that commitment he will stay

Don't believe this BS story not sure I think he knows himself as no big premiership jobs up for grabs.
Chelsea think Alonso is nailed on and Irola ,Glassner better managers.

"We are not a train station" is beginning to ring true.
"Oh I haven't decided" at this stage in the season makes us look fairly desperate to be honest. I reckon the Khans will pull something out of the bag Manager wise anyway. They always seem to.
Next season we will struggle to survive I imagine regardless of the Manager. Europe would have been a major handicap with the extra games.

cookieg

Hurry up Benfica and offer Silva a contract. Although after today's performance god knows why they would want him

Is Magath available?  :slap:

This is just petty semantics and i am not going to derail and engage in a discussion about something I never intended to express. Have a good evening.
