As someone who really does just take a mere passing interest in my club these days (thanks to the owners), it was both intriguing and refreshing to hear Curtis Davies say in an interview yesterday that since taking the job, Marco Silva has only allowed the squad 2 days off from training/match preparation etc. The effects have clearly been quite dramatic, as a squad that looked a shoe-in for relegation now has genuine belief that they can stay up, the fans are actually talking about football again, and more importantly, we've managed to get under the skin of everyone's favourite Portuguese one trick pony.
I know there's a few avid European football watchers around these parts, was there any indication in his previous employment that Silva was a cut above? Very little was known about him prior to coming to this country.
The only worry is, because he's only on a 6 month contract, whether he keeps us up or fails heroically, there's every chance that we'll lose him. Pah.
