You could be right Bubbs but having suffered Dyche I doubt if the fans would relish David Moyes.Peas in the same pod comes to mind. Know a couple of Everton fans, they think Dyche just turns the wheels and doesn’t build - but they believe Moyes does. Without meaning to re-open the debate you can se...

lol. It seems that imports to the PL from the Brazilian league have been a bit more successful in the last few seasons. We’ll need someone to keep Emerson company at least next season (either Brazilian or Italian)…

Not so sure about that. Smaller squad needed, easier workload with more preparation and recuperation time coupled with less travel. It arguably enables a smaller more focused overhaul of playing personnel with less need to puff up the numbers in the squad with resources focused on the first XI. Dem...

On signings: We're likely going to see a complete change in signings. They're likely getting (much) younger but also more on the risky side. He obviously didn't give us names, but spoke about them in the majority being more in the 20 to 23yrs age bracket going forward. Thanks mate That’s all intere...

I was having a look back at some of the posts I made at the end of Bilic's reign and I found this one. Kind of feels like we're going on a similar journey. I agree with Bristolhammer's excellent post earlier by the way, and I am ready for a change - but for any manager to be a success, it's going t...

If Sulli doesn’t allow Tim to buy or sell players without getting involved why does anyone think that Tim will be the one to decide the next manager? I’m sure he’ll pull together an initial list. Once that’s filtered for the ones who won’t want to work at this club or aren’t holding out for bigger c...

I’m not sure about ‘well run’ GSBGSB - if we underspend to the point that we finish lower and fail to get European football then we aren’t well run. Investment of £10m could have led to increased income via league and securing Europe of around £30m for example.

Myth- We should be 7th/8th and he’s underperforming versus spend.

Truth- We’ve been 12th in the PL for spend during his tenure.

Arguably, Moyes wouldn't be entirely faultless as a key component in allowing the squad that the new manager inherits to be in absolute pieces. I get the Sullivan arguments, and I want him gone as much as the next person, but not every problem can be laid at his door. I don’t think this is what you...

“About par”. Sigh.

And people wonder why pundits have suggested many West Ham fans are deluded.

Regular top 6 contenders or in the vicinity of every season.

Fantasyland with our owner I fear

Going back 2 years(from April 22 after being knocked out of the Europa League),apart from the Conference League win,we really haven't been that good.26 wins,an average of 13 games won over a season.That's not brilliant is it?Take the pragmatic boring football and the reason why I and so many want t...

Don’t get this be careful for what you wish for b*llocks. Just because we’ve been historically **** and gone from Caravans to some bust Icelandics to dildo merchants doesn’t mean we can’t and shouldn’t aspire for more. Financials-wise we’re primed to do better, when are we going to start thinking l...

Pellegrini was widely hailed a genius after his first season.

We finished tenth.

That's not entirely true, because of FFP every prem club knew before Xmas just what their position was in the way of bringing players in.The total spend of all the prem.clubs this January was around 100 million compared to last January of 800 million.Every club was on the verge of the 70% wage bill...

Two starting quality CB’s is a must, sadly today may also have not helped our chances of landing Tosin in the summer.

Europe not looking likely next season will impact which players we can attract - and/or will lead to us overpaying on some targets.

Despite the back and forth on this thread the debate was effectively rendered moot back in January and he’s been as good as dead man walking since then. We’re simply confirming that with interest now.

Get well soon George

**** off Sulli

West Ham nil coming up at full time

Surprised to see Antonio start.

Would be very surprised if we don’t concede from a set piece with that starting line up.
