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.

which contacts? Contacts to spent bloody millions on unproven foreigners? Chuck unlimited money at things and we all can get a squad. But if you look at who Silva got in for Hull I would say that proves he has a much, much better eye for that side of the game then Ranieri. We stayed up because Sam got Luka and Sakho in. Getting Luka is not about contacts, its about football knowledge, knowing what a team needs, set your sights on realistic targets rather then buy blind and spent money on "names". Hence Mancini would be an awful choice.
A lot of people seem to think we have a natural place in mid table with the squad we have, but while there is quality there is no depth whatsoever, and one might argue that we were overall rather lucky with injuries last season. I know we lost Souare and a bunch of CB at the end, but imagine if either Benteke of Wilf would have ended up seriously injured.


Spot on. A lot still talking about going to the next level like the beginning of last season and as if we are already safe next season. With Newcastle returning the job will be a lot harder. A manager who is likely to throw cash around like confetti isn't going to be appointed.

Yes that's the worry and, in the meantime, the more decisive steal off our plate. Sometimes it pays to decide what you want and go out and get it, without farting about.

Anybody know why Gary Rowett ain't being linked? Something in his contract at Derby or is it his lack of experience in the Premier League?

Take time yes and in the meantime we are in limbo with no preparation taking place for the hard season ahead, we do not have time, yes we need the right manager but we do not want him to sign two weeks before the start of the new season do we, when all the good players who were available have signed up for our opponents and we are then left to choose from those who are not wanted by anybody else or they have sick notes when they arrive like in the past?

From Burnley boards about dyche to us

'Hopefully, blessing in disguise IMO. We would finally rid our club of the horrible hoofball disease. I hate the fact we have now stained our club by accepting this football. The PL is watched worldwide, we will be stuck with the stereotypical hoofball rubbish club tag for a very long time.'


'can see Dyche at Palace to be honest. They've had Pulis, Warnock and Allardyce in recent times so success and results obviously rank higher than attractive football for their decision makers.'

'If Dyche left us and went to another EPL club he would have to change his style of play. I can't see many other clubs supporters putting up with the style and standard of football we watch week in, week out.
Don't get me wrong Dyche has done a brilliant job for us, but I doubt he would win many fans elsewhere at an established EPL club'

Well whether it's good for them depends who they get instead. Monk would be a downgrade of course.

Dyche at Palace depends on whether he can rise to the opportunity of flair players and recruit well, or carry on doing what he was doing at Burnley. Has he reached his potential yet or can he still grow?

If Dyche was not interested in leaving Burnley to join us I would have thought he would have ended the speculation by now.

Don't know why so many are big in up Dyche with his direct game while Monk has finished 8th with a decent Swansea team at the time.

I'd take Monk over Dyche.not a popular choice but one I think is not the worse d in the world.

Personally I'd like Brendan Rogers, if he felt he wanted another crack at the PL. He actually had a record on par with Klopps at Liverpool and did well at the Swans. Other than the CL there is little left in the way of competition for him in Scotland.

Failing that I would like Mancini. It might not work, but he would at least have the draw for some quality foreign players of we have a reasonable transfer kitty. Although the names mentioned from the Championship could have potential I think it's too big a risk for us at the moment. If the club had time to review their progress thoroughly then it might work, but Parish doesn't have that time on his hands (again) and so I think a more experienced manager is necessary.

Our team seem to thrive under a disciplinarian, Ranieri allegedly is weak on discipline. I really don't think he fits our team at all.

He received a £22m euro pay off from PSG, not worked since. I doubt he needs the job.
