Getting rid of pellegrino- basically the worst manager we have ever had- and replacing him with someone miles better is definitely positive news. The fact you think that someone who has had some success in this division is "just as useless" as pellegrino is remarkable. I genuinely didn't think we had fans like this. Unbelievable.

Are you seriously trying to say you would have preferred to keep pellegrino? If all fans were like you then we would deserve relegation.

That's the spirit! You'll be singing Mark hughes' Red and white army before you know it.

Appalling! Christ. Have you been watching saints this season?

He already said he wants silva even though we don't know if he was even an option. Think he said clement too.

Cool. Our chances of staying up have improved since Sunday which is mostly what I wanted. Let's all get behind him and hope he can get the three wins needed.

We're friends really.

I'm not being aggressive, it's a statement of fact.

Thanks but I tend to take the views of someone who calls people paedophiles in their spare time with a pinch of salt.

If you think saying "no need to get aggressive" is an example of being precious then I question your judgement even more.

It's not particularly hard to take it Snowflake, I just considered it unnecessary and so pointed that out. I believe I called your suggestion that the negativity of this forum was keeping Pellegrino in a job absolute b*llocks and I stand by that wholeheartedly.

Well that would completely contradict the reports of looking for Premier League experience.

I asked Jeff for some clarification and was given some abuse in return. You put words in my mouth and lied about what I said and I called you a cretin. If I had done something similar then I would have expected some abuse too.

You may be unhappy but as you have said there are no other realistic alternatives bar Silva who some are saying would turn the job down so we just have to make the best of it. Blame the board for not sacking him in December, not for appointing Hughes when they have barely any realistic alternative.

And if the club knew that Silva was unavailable and sacked Pellegrino anyway then you would still have supported the sacking knowing that our realistic options were Billic or Hughes? Of course you would have because I would have to. No one is happy that the club decided to sack him so late and leave us with a lack of choice but they are the best options we have available now and are the only realistic candidates that will give us a chance to stay up this season and will deserve our full support if either gets appointed. I think we've come to an agreement.

The choice was for Pellegrino to stay or to be sacked now and have a limited number of realistic options- possibly three. If for some reason Silva is not available then that list shrinks to two people. If the choice is then Billic or Hughes and you are very unhappy with both then the question is would you have preferred that we kept Pellegrino? You may be unhappy with the available choice at that point but it's still infinitely preferable to having Pellegrino in charge so we have no choice but to accept one of the limited options available and make the best of the situation.

No need for all that aggression just because your views weren't entirely clear. Alright then so your view is that of the available and realistic candidates who meet our criteria only Silva would be acceptable. Someone claiming to be ITK on here earlier said he wasn't interested. Hypothetically if that were the case, what would you do then?

Then I would have seen that we had decided to appoint Kelvin instead and I would have died laughing...

So I really don't understand your opinion. You agree that you wanted rid of Pellegrino and you are happy that he has been sacked now. You accept that we have a very small list of realistic candidates and you would only be happy with Silva from that list of candidates even though there is a possibility that he was never interested in the position. If that were the case, then it seems you would be unhappy with any other realistic candidate being appointed.

It seems? You have no idea!

We won't be appointing Ancelotti.

He was less of an annoying **** than Lord Duckhunter.

Here's an example of what I was talking about earlier. Cloud cuckoo land. No wonder some are outraged at the thought of Hughes if that's who they think we should be appointing.

Christ that really does leave us with many realistic options does it! What vastly superior yet realistic options would you want then? Assuming silva turns us down who do we go for?

Always seemed like a nice guy but I think he realised he was totally out of his depth. He must have known after Saturday that the end was coming and he can't have any complaints.
