Still shocked over Sam's bye-bye, but getting a new manager even before next fixture list (June 13th) would be awesome. Anyone who says Silva did a s...t job at Hull has not seemed them play that much. OK, 0-4 at Selhurst although they had a great deal of possession, Zaha (good) goal a bit of unlucky and should have had a penalty (Punch) on 0-1, was not impressive scorewise. Remember though, 2 last goals in dying minutes.
Have seen Hull play various games. Silva made a bunch of no-hopers perform well (at home), something we have struggled with for several seasons (in spite of the best fans in the land).
In short, would be very happy to see him in our dug-out the coming season (hopefully with a bubbling Sammy Lee by his side).

You talk about clueless then you mention Ranieri

I know Silva is highly rated but that is all. If Mancini is a possibility then it has to be him, his currently favourite.

no one had even heard of silva in 2016. Hes's still the manager that conceded 11 goals in last 2. They conceded a lot of goals from set pieces included when silva been in charge(not another pardew). 2 clean sheets in 14games. The pulis and Sam stint proves we need a solid structure.

He's all results achieved at hull in the prem:-

Jan 14th W 3-1 b'mouth - home
Jan 22nd L 2-0 Chelsea - away
Feb 1st. D 0-0 Man Utd - away
Feb. 4th w 2-0 Liverpool- home
Feb. 11th L 2-0 Arsenal - Away
Feb. 25th D 1-1 Burnley - home
Mar. 4th L 3-1 Leicester- Away
Mar 11th. W 2-1 Swansea - home
Mar 18th L 4-0 Everton- away
Apr. 1st. W 2-1 West Ham - home
Apr. 5th W 4-2 m' boro - home
Apr. 8th L 3-1. Man City - away
Apr. 15th L 3-1. Stoke - away
Apr. 22nd w 2-0 Watford- home
Apr 29th D 0-0. Southampton- away
May 6th L 2-0 Sunderland - home
May 14th L 4-0 C Palace - away
May 21 st L 7-1 Spurs - home

He may of had a poor squad to work with but trying to outscore the opponent isn't what we do successfully.

Mancini was 16/1 on Tuesday after Allardyce quit. Now 17/10 - I would say he is the strong candidate, not Silva.

The only issue for me is who will form Mancini's backroom team if he does become Palace boss.

Potentially it could be Lombardo, but it would be great to think some of the staff that joined with Sam will stay.

The fitness and spirit of the players went up noticeably from January onwards - although every manager usually has in own favourites that follow from job to job.

Hi! I'm Ed Winchester!

Very good point. I think handling the players is gauged on what success you have on the training ground and on the pitch. If they think he knows what he's doing, they will be ok. Ranieri at Leicester was ok, then they turned on him when things started to go wrong. I suppose only Mancini could probably handle the big names. I'm really nervous about the next manager appointment. It could be sink or swim time. So disrupting!
