just been reading tonight lots of fans do not want Silva, we have to get behind who Mr Moshiri brings in surely but rumblings again before a new one steps in the door, we could end up with this same scenario again that we had with Sam.

15 May 2018 23:30:29
I think it's his record that people are seeing GB when you see other managers like Fonseca who has been hugely successful albeit in a far inferior league to the premiership and then see what Silva has achieved we just want the best we not have even spoken to Fonseca we don't know it's just that his name has popped up and people get excited. I've seen some fans even mention Emery now that would be a statement though never going to happen.

With all the changes so far today Moshiri is getting everything in order think we will know more tomorrow, if it's Silva I will get behind him as he's a definite upgrade on Sam and I think given time could do a job for us.

15 May 2018 23:37:36
Somebody fans will not be happy whatever the club do. They all want Sam out but don’t want whoever is coming in!

15 May 2018 23:46:42
Remember GB there were a few on here that wanted Allardyce to stay until next season and thought he was doing a good job.
They will not be happy with him being replaced, whoever it is.

15 May 2018 23:33:31
Fair point but I think 90% fans had issue with the football. I'm for Rafa myself but will be delighted with anyone, so long as BS is gone.

16 May 2018 00:06:04
It's not as if people are preaching doom and gloom about a possible manager but we are all entitled to have an opinion on Silva or whoever else is linked with the job. It's the same at every club, look at the gunners. Some fans want Arteta and some want Enrique. Same here, some want Silva, some want Benitez ans some want Fonseca. We will see plenty of opinions on all of them if, as expected, Sam leaves after tomorrow.

16 May 2018 00:16:27
Have to say I am leaning towards Rafa but then I would t object to some of the other names like Fonseca or Emery and as mentioned before I even think Arteta could be a great shout
With Silva I think he could be a good manager just worry with the baggage attached right now however if he gets the gig he will get my support.

16 May 2018 07:04:46
I think a lot of fans need to look beyond hull and Watford he won the league with Olympiacos with a 79% win rate and if he was coming off the back of that fans would be made up.

{Ed025's Note - i agree bluey..

16 May 2018 12:41:19
Just pleased Sam is gone and I will support which ever manager ends up here.

16 May 2018 15:06:43
Good job he didn’t get an extension like you wanted guernsey haha.

16 May 2018 16:46:23
Blimey mate you are right, as to think I wanted Big Sam to stay at the start, makes me SHUDDER lol.

15 May 2018 22:29:22
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news all bus SSN has just reported that Sam will be gone in 24 hours 😅.

15 May 2018 11:57:14
Many sites reporting Sam will be gone within 24 hrs the meeting with Mr Moshiri is tomorrow Wednasday even SSN are claiming this, bring it on.

15 May 2018 12:06:24
Know that's great news they also saying that Silva r first choice that do for me but would prefer fonseca. bbc saying that Dennis barret-baxendale will take over from elstone when he leaves for rugby league.

15 May 2018 12:10:03
Finally GB. We can move on from this nightmare period.

15 May 2018 12:52:34
Ditto that mate.

15 May 2018 13:06:35
Defo . Mate, just awaiting the Legendary Thumbs Down, Grumpy and I I used to love it LOL.

15 May 2018 13:40:00
Sorry gb, could not resist a thumbs down, you left the door open so I sneaked in, all pure banter, gave you a thumbs up as well.

15 May 2018 13:48:49
Love it mate.

15 May 2018 15:55:12
Got a notification on my phone in work about Sam going just shouted at the top of my voice Yes, got some strange looks but who cares the nightmare is over looking forward to the coming weeks now.

15 May 2018 16:28:39
Good Good times ahead Lee mate.

15 May 2018 19:11:55
Dave47 are you sure it's Dennis and not Denise Barrett-Baxendale?

15 May 2018 19:29:34
I gave a thumbs down too GB. Just in memory of Grumpy Toffee. For old times sake. And yet i agreed with a lot of whay you both said, well except the Osman debate.

15 May 2018 22:41:50
Does this mean I can stop being embarrassed for supporting the team that Sam Allardyce manages?

15 May 2018 22:42:16
What a difference a day makes. Quite cheery on here. the storm clouds are dispersing.

15 May 2018 10:34:48
Everyone seems to be up for the idea of keeping Keane in the “ideal” starting 11 for next season. is he actually good enough? The last two weeks I’ve seen him he has been pretty poor.

Prior to those last two games I thought he was pretty solid and was expecting him to be high on confidence, but those last two games say otherwise.

I think I would be offering him a way out tbf. If he says no, he shows he’s committed then by all means stay, he’s showing the minerals I want to see. But something says to me that he would consider leaving us at the first opportunity.

I don’t know. I’m not sure he’s quite good enough. Would he get into any of the teams that finished above us? I’m not sure he would.

15 May 2018 10:51:42
I so want him to be good.
But in truth, he’s been pretty poor all season.
The Arnautovic goal on Sunday really showed him up.
Perhaps in time, in a confident squad, he’d improve?

15 May 2018 12:11:51
How many players impressed this season. He's only 25 which is still young for a centre back. Deserves at least one more season as he undoubtedly will improve with time given the right circumstances.

15 May 2018 12:48:51
Agreed, he’s not one I’d ship out. Whether he’s 1st choice will depend on the quality of who we bring in - some competition might do him good!

15 May 2018 13:34:27
Centre Halves need to be you strongest players mentally and I don't know if Keanes got the confidence or strength.

15 May 2018 22:42:23
Some CBs can't manage to be the main man. But work well when partnered with a really dominating, strong CB.

I think if we can find a captain type leader to slot in next to him, to bark at him all game, he will show he is worthy of a starting spot.

If all went smoothly he was meant to enjoy a safe season taking tips from the finishing Williams and Jags. He was meant to be the understudy but ended up being the main man and that's really thrown him under the bus.

I'm not worried about Keane, we need 2 new CBs cos I'd assume Williams is gone, Jags likely too but could be good for cover? Funes is surely toast and will be off too. The new CBs need to be 1st 11 material not ones for the future. A couple of 28 year old men required.
