OK let's put aside the red half and their appalling treatment of their goalkeeper, Gerrard made mistakes that cost them the title and Karius had a howler - nuff said

What is the story re Silva? He's obviously the favourite. Some might ask why but it is Moshiri and the senior managements decision and I respect they have access to far more info than I.

What is the purpose of delaying any announcement though. Watford are playing silly buggers.

Silva can relay his wishes to Brands on players but at what point do we say enough is enough to Watford and put our man in place?

We've done a lot already this close season but please put us out of our misery and let's move on, Announce our new manager and let's get serious planning for next year which is crucial to us all

The only thing that can explain this is if Silva has been "relieved of his duties" rather than sacked. That means Watford would still be paying him. If they sacked him they would have settled a lump sum compensation. This way they pay him until he gets another job and there is nothing to compensate him for. Then Everton come along. Watford want Silva off the pay roll. Silva wants the job. Everton want Silva. All know the other's position. Silva says he won't take the job unless he gets some compensation. Watford's reply has the second word "off". Everton say, "we aren'tpapying". It's then a case of who blinks first.

Maybe were going to announce Brands and Silva on the 1st.
Brands can't officially be announced until then and it seems right to appoint the manager after the DOF.

Probably a combination of things has caused delays. As Smit says, the DoF doesn't begin to work for us until 1st June so I doubt anything will be announced until after that. Watford are still butt-hurt so I'd expect talks to be ongoing with them and the league to reach an agreement. Maybe Brands has his own ideas that doesn't include Silva.

Dangly bits Watford are nothing to do with it, have no rights morally and most certainly no rights legally. As you quite rightly say the DoF does not start until 1st June, I fully expect both the DoF and Manager to be announced on the same day I. E. Friday.

I think Smit is bang on. Things will be happening behind the scenes. We just need a little patience.

Not sure if true but although Silva was released, I am pretty sure Watford have a holding until June 1st, May be down to compensation they owe him or for whatever else, after that, he can sign, he gets compensation and we can then sign the player, not sure where I heard it a while ago but 1st June was the time Everton were going to make their move.
