Just been reading Everton have now withdrawn their compensation offer to Watford, interesting hmmmm.
18 May 2018 20:43:13
Is this a new offer or the old offer from January?

They were offered ample compensation, they refused. They sacked him. If there was a case to answer it would have been answered in Feb not now. Cheap attempt by Watford to extort money over their own mismanagement.

My take on this it was for £1 mill which was rejected by Watford, but Everton have now withdrawn that offer because Watford apparently tapped up Marco while at Hull and have a document to prove it.

according to the Times we have proof that Watford tapped Silva up while he was the Hull Manager I wonder how we got that piece of evidence.

BLUEY79: I wonder - nudge, nudge - wink, wink.
If Watford want to play hardball, I’m sure we have people who can mix it with them!

I'm at a loss why we should pay them anything anyway they had their chance and rejected our offers so that should be the end of it.

I'm sure we will sort something out and Silva will be announced maybe next week get him onboard and we can start to plan for next season.

All of this is irrelevant. Watford sacked the guy it is as simple as that. His 30 percent win record is the reason. All they are trying to do now is cite Everton for his failure. Absolutely ridiculous. If anyone tried that with you, me and any organisation or person of nounce they would fail. Incidentally if Evertons so-called involvement affected Silva, he is not the man for us.

Everton made an approach for silva which wad rejected by silva but we still have to pay comoensation after he was sacked? Yet moyes admitted he was approached by alex ferguson directlyly who said he wanted moyes as his replacement and yet we don't get compensation. I know moyes let his contract wind down but surely i must be missing something here? We made an offer which was rejected. Our manager was argubly tapped up yet and yet we are offering compensation?

I don’t think Silva was actually sacked as such, I’ve read a few times on here that he was replaced but he’s still on the books and collecting his monthly wages.
So I’m guessing that’s why they want compo and why there is some confusion about why we should/ shouldn’t not pay it.
