Ferguson could assume caretaker role for the derby if Silva is sacked

That's the claim made by the Daily Mail website who suggest that "a heavy setback" for Silva when the Blues travel to the King Power Stadium would prompt Farhad Moshiri to act knowing that Ferguson, currently a first-team coach, is waiting in the wings.

With Marcel Brands having offered a show of unity on Friday, it was felt that Silva's job was probably safe for the foreseeable future and that he would be in charge of the next two away games against Leicester and Liverpool at the least.

This Sunday tabloid story — plus one in The Mirror asserting that Eddie Howe is being lined up as Silva's replacement — would, assuming there is a shred of truth to either, indicate that the timescale could be moved up.
