No way in a million years would he come to this shambles of a club.

Poch will attract far bigger and better clubs than us.
All the time we have two bob shysters in charge we'll not get anyone with any ambition, just yes men.

Very uninspiring.

Whoever comes in, I really hope it’s someone young, with a fresh approach and ideas, a point to prove and who’s in it for the long run.

which O'Neil ? the one we wanted at first who's now out of work or the one who just took the Stoke job ?

I can see where the Sully would be looking...........

Well whoever we get will we likely be competing against the likes of everton and arsenal to tempt them,
As others have said it'll likely be rafa with the subsequent rafa out thread 12-18 months later.

The way forward is to recruit a younger hungrier manager who has a high tempo philosophy,
Need a complete culture change at the club which is extremely unlikely to happen with gsb at the helm.
Depressing.

kenthammer1984 wrote: Sat Nov 23, 2019 5:35 pm Is the correct answer. Even if he doesn’t get another point between now and January 1st he still won’t be sacked. He needs time to turn it around.
That would see us on 13 points from 19 games, and you still think he needs time to turn it around?

Please stop going there.

That FC comes back then I am well and truly done with the club and I know I will be far from alone in that.

I would love to see the Cowleys come in. If. I really think we need a manager who understands West Ham. The others on the List I would have are DiCanio , Bielsa, Nagelsman and Kovac, though not sure any are realistic.

Slav in his first season was better than anything under Sam. But you already know that, don't you?

:thup:


As was Moyes in his brief stint and Pelle for last season.

I agree MP's time is up but harking back to and pining for Sam, have a word with yourself Puff.

Agree about going for a young and hungry manager.
