Echo saying that although brands starts next week he is already hands on with the manager search as he wanted a big part in the process, they understand that silva is still not the only candidate with Bournemouth boss eddie howe also being spoke about, opinions on this blues?

Rather have Howe than Silva for me. I think this is shrewd move allowing brands to have a big say in who is the new manager. The last thing we want if more friction at the club. Not a fan of Silva his premiership record isn't great.

it's hard to know what we want Silva is my first choice but I thought Koeman was the right man at the time so thatshows how much I know I will support whoever they appoint we have to trust them to make the right decision.

will more than likely be shot down, but with brands looking like a very controlling figure I think Arteta would be great in a head coach role, would just need to be more vocal on the touchline whilst brands tidied everything else. it won't be him though.

I think the biggest thing was to get a real DOF and now we work down so next is the right manager/ head coach
Is Silva or anyone else right. only time will tell I would’ve liked Emery but I am not against Silva I think it’s harsh to judge his premier league record as his hull side were rubbish but he did well and was doing well at Watford prior to our chase. I hear his tactics and coaching are what sets him apart
West Han baulked at the release fee for Rafa but 6 million doesn’t seem too bad for a proven premier league manager.
Arteta is still another option

Whoever comes in has a big job ahead!

The two options you mentioned Southern are both no goers, both have said they want full control of transfer dealings, Brands appointment will rule both out of the running.

We seem to be moving in the right direction and hopefully will have the new manager in place soon.

Surely to god we cannot be worse than last season.

I think the correct thing is that both don’t want players being sold from there squad if you listen to their points correctly
So my point stands that Brands is here to create a team not dismantle it.
