You may be right, but if so he's playing with fire with that attitude. I think it's going to take a couple of extremely rough seasons for Man Utd or Woolwich (or Everton stunning everyone and becoming a consistent top four force) before they go for Silva. They're still going to be aiming for higher tier managers for a while yet. Managers who have been in the Champions League, at least. Moyes at Man Utd was an outlier and motivated by Ferguson and a delusion by their fans that they were different from other clubs and were going to recruit another Scottish guy who would be at the team for over twenty years. But Ferguson no longer has the say he once did and the fanbase is itching for success at all costs now, hence the Zidane rumours. I would bet all the hair on my head that Zidane is going nowhere near that club, though.
I guess managers who have no long-standing link to the club they're managing can't be blamed for looking for where their next step may be. Especially when the owner is likely to boot them out soon or sell up to some other load of billionaires who want one of their mates in instead. Pochettino was probably planning where his future laid after Tottenham before he became so embedded within the the team, and he himself reckons that during his first season he was one match away from being fired. Things could have been very different.
