Yeah ok Willo. You claim to think he's going to Watford at about the same time that the news broke on Sky Sports. Convenient

Was told on day 1 of Allardyce that contact had been made with Silva and I have been told today that we're still very much interested. The issue is Silva taking his time. Porto are still very much in the mix and Watford are offering a more competitive financial package BUT Watford's policy of dispensing with coaches every five minutes is making Silva think carefully about his next move.

This is what I've been told. Someone mugged me off when I initially broke Silva news, suggesting I make stuff up. So, get this straight. This is what I've been told by the same source who said we'd be interested when it looked like Porto was a done deal.

He must've misread the news and thought he was in advanced talks with Palace.

He'd be great but money talks. We're not offering him the package Watford are, according to what I've been told.

Then again, who really knows. Parish will pull something out the bag I'm sure.

No I didn't forget about Estoril. Was focussing on his league and cup honours.

Please accept that I am NOT "Dissing" his achievements, justing putting them into perspective in relation to the "Real deal" adulation he is receiving.

IF he is appointed I will of course wish him all the very best and hope that he wins honours with us.I just happen to think that any honours he wins with us will surpass what he has achieved to-date in Portugal and Greece.
