Manuel Pellegrini (Now Sacked)West Ham United’s 17th manager

I want to see a manager try 3-5-2. I think we have the players to do it. Rice holding, Fornals pulling the strings and Haller up top with Anderson and Antonio running beyond him. Pellegrini just keeps trying the same thing over and over.

I just want to see something different. I feel like I've watched the same game on repeat all season.

Had no other choice in the end, talked himself out of the job with his persistent baffling decisions. He also appeared to lose the dressing room to me. He had more than enough chances to get a grip of it and wasted every opportunity.

f*** it, go full Dream Team and give it Nobes with Collins and Nolan coming back as coaches.

If we're going down in flames let's chuck some petrol on it.

Cheers Pellers, I know you came with the right intentions, but working for these c*nts is an impossible task.

Could you have done better? Probably, but today, next week or next year, it would've ended the same way eventually, as you now know West Ham is a club with now ambition, no strategy and frankly.. no hope.

You're out now, you're the lucky one.

An appointment that promised so much but unfortunately delivered so very little. I'm ashamed to say I'm glad to see him go. I really thought he was going to be a perfect fit for us.

Now the board must get the next appointment absolutely right.

Won't be shocked if the money used to sack the manager, his coaching staff and in course his DOF, tied in with that part of WHUFC's official statement directly quoting David Sullivan:

However, it has become clear that that a change is required to get the Club back on track in line with our ambitions this season.


Means the new manager has to work with what he has, theres no money available and the owner feels there is enough with whats available to be further up the league.

If we don't have a manager by NYD, which is unlikely, we need to spend the whole of it making it toxic for the owners. Let them know we want them to follow.
