In Parish we trust. The man knows what he is doing. If we wanted Silva we would have got him.

Originally posted by Den1923 Yes we have but why did he prefer Watford to us and What could Watford offer that we can't ? I am obviously hopelessly biased and/or deluded, but I genuinely do not understand why Silva would prefer Watford to us. We have a much better squad, came higher in the league and no matter how well he does he will get sacked at the end of the season. Presumably they offered him vast sums of money, but you'd have thought that there must be some football-related factors as well. All the other candidates that have been mentioned will be a step backwards after Big Sam for me.

I don't know whether we have interviewed him but if so I know that it will be heresy to some people but perhaps Parish didn't interview as well as the Watford chairman. Perhaps Silva thought that there would be less interference in playing matters at Watford or perhaps despite all of the media speculation we didn't actually interview him at all. I doubt whether we will ever know

Originally posted by Willo Some while ago Martin Tyler said he believed that Murphy would be a manager sometime in the future.Appears to want to stick to punditry. Don't blame him. Extremely well paid, I believe, far shorter working week, and rather more secure than managing. It doesn't seem to matter how bad you are, some broadcasting channel or other will employ you.

I could not agree more, we always seem to struggle to persuade top targets to come to CP, there is something that is not right in the way we manage these negotiations. The only common denominator would appear to be the Chairman?

laddo london 27 May 17 5.05pm
Watford had two more weeks on us to secure Silva. Yes, from what I've told we had talks but we also (and rightly) wanted to talk to others. Silva wasn't willing to wait for the palace job, lose out on Watford and come away with nothing. It's true also that silva was offered more money at Watford. So what?! I'm sure Parish will have upped the offer if silva blew him away. He clearly didn't. Parish and the board will take their time which is the right thing to do. laddo "People say, live fast, die young.

dynamicdick Dormansland 27 May 17 5.06pm
I have given this subject a lot of thought and have come to the following conclusion; 1. We need a manager with either PL or comparable major European league experience. 2. We need stability but not without progress playing football suited to our style. 3. As part of the stability try to retain the current back room staff who have worked so well under SA. 4. My choices at this stage would be Ranieri. Bring back Brolin
