Haller formals, yarmelenko and Anderson are all very good footballers which unfortunately we are likely to whiteness next year and have seem glimpses under MP.

We were looking at top 6 when fabianski got I injured, not so sure what’s difficult to understand.
Obviously. The mistakes go all the way to the top! But that does not excuse Pellegrini and his astounding mismanagement. It’s hard to believe this is the same guy who pulled up trees in La Liga

I think Pellers checked out at the end of last season when he realised there was relatively no money to spend. That said he did make some terrible signings.

Astounding mismanagement? It's over egging it. For sure he is partly culpable for bringing in a dud, but you could see the logic behind it as we needed a back-up Keeper competent enough to mainly warm a bench seat. It's very unusual a XI team Keeper is out for so long and it just happened to be one of the best around in the League who is unmovable - unless he's injured of course. So yes, he takes some blame but he was also dealt an untimely unlucky hand when Fabianski blew up and for so long just as our settled XI was starting to find it's feet. Husillos takes most of the blame for bringing him in the first place, he must have scouted his games with his face planted in a bucket to realise he's ****ing hopeless.

It’s a bit contrived, but if you sort the list by points per game and restrict it to teams he’s managed against 17 or more times, the top two are Sunderland and West Ham.

Nice bit of debunking.

100%, its why he encouraged most of his team go bar the ones he knew would get a decent pay off.

Don’t really think there’s any point in revisionism or rationale where this bloke is concerned...

Yes he got shafted by the owners, but so did the likes of Zola, and even someone like the woefully out of his depth little Italian still did the job until his contract ended.

Pellegrini outright (in my opinion) did what he needed to do to get the sack, and therefore a pay off.

He actually seemed brazen about it towards the end.

I’m still of the opinion he’d have got similar/more points than Moyes has if he’d been kept on, but I wouldn’t be buying the bloke a pint as ex WHU manager.

Slav’s sacking was a genuine shame, Pel appeared to orchestrated his own.

Yeah - it was El Pell’s shamelessness that really took the biscuit!

As opposed to Moyes' just being useless.

if moyes was setting us up to get the sack it'd probably end up like the producers and we'd go on a massive run playing great football.

Think that truly is 'the West Ham way'.
