I disagree with the posters who say we couldn't attract Marco Silva. I don't think we could get him on a long term deal, obviously he's not going to want to manage in the Championship. But we could get him on a short term deal until the summer.

He's not going to get another job before the summer and he can't possibly do his reputation any harm by taking on the job here. If he was to miraculously keep us up, he would enhance his reputation no end. If we were to go down, he could simply write it off as a formality.

For me it's essential we get him in now. We need an injection to beat Huddersfield next week and he would be the perfect appointment with Watford away beckoning. How often do we see sacked managers go and do over their previous employers. Pardew simply can't get the lads up for it, if we keep him, we're effectively resigning to being relegated already.
