The new manager is irrelevant as those twats won't sign anyone good, they're just gonna take the cash and run and we'll implode but at least they'll be gone so happy days!
Silva is bringing his own staff, I reckon - a 'pre-pack', maybe? So...I reckon it's not the Gruesome Twosome behind this. Smells like a new owner.
I dont know who has managed to swing this, but as supporters I think we can all be excited about the possibilities.. He's someone who plays attacking football, apparently, but cant have been successful by not being defensively solid and was a defender himself. We've been managed by dinosaurs in the main for long enough and for me what was needed was for someone to come into the club and for the players to feel excited about working with new ideas. As HFFP said his players go to war for him and thats exactly what will be needed now. Who knows, he might just a Pochettino and if he has any clout with 'the chosen one', something that we don't seem to have managed with our previous managers connections with Man Utd together with his Pro Eleven contacts, Premiership or not i'll be happy to give him the time to make my team one I cant wait to see play again.
Really don't think so. The better ones won't change from Sporting, Benfica, Porto etc to City. He brought a few gems that played in Portugal like Sebá and Pardo to Olympiakos but they wouldn't get permission from the FA.
This appointment might make the persuading of one or two 'football players' to come here a little less difficult.
Well he's going to have to pull some players out of the hat from somewhere. As it stands we haven't got a prayer with what's currently in the building. My concern is he'll try and mess with the formation and there really isn't enough games left to do that. He needs to use the current formation and introduce some better quality in key areas. RB, CF maybe attacking midfield. He needs to remove Marshall and look at the defence, individually ok, but as a unit they've been far too sloppy.
silva will be our first non british manager since molby 14 years ago! and only our second ever i believe
Someone posted this earlier... and I cant stop singing it... Hi Ho Silva's Tigers.... !!!... we've needed a new song for ages now...
It was me. It needs to be blasted out just before kick-off via the Stadium P.A. system and not be left to the crowd to instigate it.
Assistant coach is João Pedro, physical trainer Gonçalo Pedro and Rifa scout. I don't remember the goalkeeping coach.
OLympiacos have a couple of Portugese players. Andre Martins Diogo Figuiros. Manuel Da Costa too.Any good? Likely to come?
