• Worst part about this season. Every time we win, the heart gets excited about Europe, but the stomach worries about losing Marco. Every time we lose, the stomach hurts to be losing out on Europe, while the heart rejoices that maybe this knocks Marco's attractiveness to other sides. Its going to be like this right to the end of the season. (NT) -- eganonoa, Tuesday, March 18, 03:25:52pm (pool-108-18-149-21.washdc.fios.verizon.net/108.18.149.21)
  • We have some nightmare games at home and 2 away games we never win, I'm still sticking with 10th but maybe with our record total (NT) -- Waterboy, Tuesday, March 18, 04:26:59pm (NoHost/84.67.210.3)
    • I cannot foresee Iraola ( if approached ) turning down the chance to go to Spurs . So whilst he allegedly remains at the top of Levy’s list and Silva still has further levels to which he can take us , I am not too worried at the moment . Let alone the plethora of others who are /will be available come summer . For Silva it surely will be the perennial question : ie will the Club’s ambition match his ?

      • Agreed re: Iraola. Silva has already gone to one poorly-ran sleeping giant. Spurs is a managerial graveyard, as well as a Fulham midfielder one. Poch was not backed through 5 transfer windows - if you do not back Poch, who do you back? Hopefully Silva will get the inside track from Nuno - look at his only CV blemish!

• Not convinced release clauses make a difference. If you spend 100-150m in a summer on players surely passing on a manager you want for 8m makes no sense, given they’re a huge part of if those players then succeed, it’s 3m per position in the league. It’s agent games/clickbait, if a club with 500m+ turnover want a manager they’ll go and get them, if there’s a release clause or not (unless it’s obscene). Appoint the wrong one and pay out will be far more when they’re sacked. (NT) -- Henry1879, Tuesday, March 18, 04:49:21pm (croy-26-b2-v4wan-167127-cust1611.vm24.cable.virginm.net/82.38.22.76)

• According the press, Silva has been trying to leave for a couple of seasons. He's been linked with Westham, Spurs, Saudi and Sporting. Until Fulham, his career was a little erratic, so I guess it was an easy presumption to make that he would quickly jump ship. But he appears content at the moment and is still reasonably young for a manager. He has time to realise his ambitions. It's down to the chairman to match Silva's vision for the club which might be enough to keep him beyond next season. (NT) -- Samuel, Tuesday, March 18, 10:42:47pm (NoHost/81.78.226.36)
