Howe's a good manager.

Can't say I like him or Tindall, or how he has his team drilled to cheat.

But he's a good manager.

Morgan Whittaker is another, probably relatively cheap pick up.

19 goals and 8 assists this season for a very poor Plymouth side.

Only 23 as well, for context, at 24 Watkins scored 26 with 3 assists for a Brentford side who finished 3rd.

In Moyes' tenure he's spent around £50m a season.

We sit around 12th on net spend and wage bill.

The board have not backed the manager or the club.

Frankfurt have an Egyptian forward, Omar Marmoush.

16 goals and 6 assists this season.

Has played up front, on the wing, in a pair.

Short timespan and the wonders of the January window. I think Zaha would have been a good signing, quality alone. Reportedly on £72k a week, which is hardly destructive for us. If EVH is right and Moyes is watching his actual targets go elsewhere, the club not pursuing them, then he's offered Zaha ...

Moyes has since confirmed Earthy isn't available.

In the Steinberg article that is currently taking some discussion in the Moyes thread, he slides in a nugget (on the January window): West Ham looked at attacking additions, including a loan deal for Galatasaray’s Wilfried Zaha, but it is understood Moyes did not feel any potential signings would h...

Steve Cooper makes sense to me. He’s got experience of the PL, out of contract, and worked with an utter clown of an owner who signed 365 players. On a serious point, his record with England and improving players he worked with is a good sign. I should categorically state he’s not my No.1 choice, f...

Jacob Steinberg argues for a change of manager in the Guardian

Is Steinberg fed by Sullivan or am I mistaken?

No one gives a monkeys about Newcastle mate :crossed: 52% is low against that standard of opposition. More importantly too the patterns of play offensively were poor bar the Sheffield United home game. The team played with a low back line in the majority of those fixtures but you’ve no answer for t...

Leverkusen's last 5 seasons. 6th, 3rd, 6th, 5th, 4th. Let's not pretend Alonso took over a club who were in relegation fights every other year... It was Moyes who did that. They had one bad start to a season and were near the relegation zone, but the club itself, squad, infrastructure, facilities wa...

For me that’s low possession when you consider the opposition. These are two of the poorer sides the PL has seen in recent times, so that really ought to be higher. I watched those games and we weren’t exactly pressing them either, so if you’re going to come with 50% and a deep line against Burnley...

If Sullivan goes I'll instantly be more at ease about Moyes leaving.

I’m a full devotee to Sarri. I think he’s a genuine and passionate man with a love of football, of improving players and playing positively. And he’s done it at clubs similar to our stature. His time at Chelsea is harshly viewed but stands up well. He’s like Potter without the weakness of not knowi...

Interesting to see Moyes refer to West Ham as "they." He doesn't seem to have as much affection for the place as he did some of his other old clubs. Definitely seems to be in a mode of detachment. He was saying "we've had three really great years in Europe and we want a fourth" ...

The problem you’ve got is, when we’ve played Burnley, Sheffield United etc etc we have put 11 behind the ball, we have played low block, and we’ve still played low possession. Against Burnley and Sheffield United this season we had 52%, 49%, 43% and 52% The higher two were home games. 8 points tota...

Because Steve Bruce achieved anywhere near what Moyes has.

I was hoping it wouldn't be a 7 day thing.

Oh great, the myth about Moyes alienating squad players is back.

Benrahma's appearances in all competitions

1st season: 34
2nd season: 48
3rd season: 52
4th season: 22 (left in January)

Alienated!
