Just been reading about Marco Silva, apparently he has no intention of signing a new contract with Fulham, several clubs from Saudi Arabia and ourselves are tracking him.
It will cost 8 million to get him out of his contract early which to me is an expensive mistake from our hierarchy but heyho its not my money. He's definitely Mr M's preferred choice, makes you wonder why we didn't just go after him before giving Nuno a new contract, mercenary yes but that's football these days.
If we take a kickin Saturday lunchtime the toxicity from our own fans will be telling. I really hope we don't and I'd like to see Ange get it right because i love his style of football but the definitely need to be more a balanced approach.
I worry that we will become the Watford of the midlands and through a rediculously high turn over of managerial staff have absolutely zero continuity.
Fingers crossed for Saturday. ?
(it can be written in a non toxic and depressing way?)

I understand where your coming from RRH, but the supporters I believe have had enough and won't tolerate much more. have you seen any improvement with the last couple of games? I haven't but then I'm not a conicre like some. I found it interesting on the redevelopment of the ground, all very exciting but you can't move at half time at the back of the Trent end so where are the extra supporters supposed to go?. death trap as it is!.

Last couple definitely not mate and your point about the City Ground is spot on. When there last season i thought the same and after going to Villa Park, with being a similar type of ground but improved and much better facilities and access i got an envious feeling. ?.

If we are going to make a change of coach, Silva or someone of his calibre should be appointed. As for Silva's 8 million release clause, cheap at double the price if he got us competing for Europe instead of a relagation battle!.

I think MR M should have found a more suitable site ( ladybay fields) comes to mind, plenty of space to build a new stadium without the restraints of where we are now. don't get me wrong l love the city ground but it's in the wrong place for what MR M wants to do. it will take years to complete, especially with the compulsory purchase of residential buildings around the ground, there will be appeals after appeals. I'd love to be proven wrong but I know how the legal system works.
