i'm not sure i can go through the "be vocal about the board but support the club and the manager" dichotomy again, ultimately its just a self neutralizing prospect. the board couldn't give two shits about what the support think as long as the team stays afloat, it's only in desperation that they come cap in hand and beg for our support.

a lot of soul searching to be done about what you want this club to become.

This is true.

He'll go 3-3-1-2 or 3-4-3 and it will stop some of the worst leaks at the back while giving us just enough up top to halt the rot and get us enough to survive. It'll be ****ing dross though, and it will convince the c**** in charge they don't need to spend proper money to survive.

This time next year the style will be eating at us, we'll have lost a couple of our better players in the summer and not replaced them and will be back in this or a worse position.

Board will then put ****ing Pulis in charge just to spite us.

, why go back to a disappointing ex, it’s not like he won us a cup or European football.

S
Perhaps the irony is that what Moyes did do was 'keep us up' which then allowed the bastards to appoint Pellegrini . Had Moyes failed in his one and only task, Pellegrini would never have arrived here.

Even though I've written that I'm still trying to unravel it myself :?

Very experienced. Last 2 PL jobs 18% win rate at Sunderland and 29% at West Ham. Experience is one thing, them win percentages are another.
I got behind the man last time, it was embarrassing having the guy here, no one wanted to employ him before he came and no one wanted to employ him after, no matter how great some of you see his last tenure here. He is a manager that no one wants except our scummy board.
But hey, employing Moyes to save our season twice in 3 years really is the NEXT LEVEL.

Win percentages ignore some very creditable draws.

Sunderland were an utter mess regardless of manager. He was sold a pup there.

Welcome back Mr Moyestivator.

Glad to see we are not being run like a circus anymore (more like the Mad Hatter’s tea party).

Man United and Sociadad then?

Was shocking for both.

Can Moyes keep us up? maybe, maybe not.

Can he get us to top 6 or win us a cup. Not a chance in hell. After all isn't that what the goal is for West Ham as a football club.

The club say they have ambition, appointing Moyes to once again get us to 17th proves that they have none at all.

Shows everything that is wrong with the club and the owners in particular.

When we are getting ****ed by Bournemouth on New Year's day I fully expect "you don't know what your doing" and "sacked in the morning" to ring out.

It's just grinding in pure apathy for me though.

**** it all.
Agreed mate. Has all the makings of the worst New Year’s Day since the six nil f****** we took in the peeing rain at Reading ten years ago..

Nobody on here is hoping, for whatever reason,that he fails are they?

Steve McClaren did it at Twente. Not PL, and not nearly as successful second time round.
Mourinho of course. Redknapp did win them a cup... Then left the club in absolute ruins.

No. I think it’s a crappy appointment from our idiotic board.

But I hope he wins every game.

Me. I'd rather suffer utter chaos and an opportunity for a cleanse starting with the owners than stumbling to mid-table year after year whilst the owners continue to rob from the club.
