The new manager hunt (was the Moyes thread) only 3 days to wait...

Did all these anti-Moyesians really think Klupp was about to down tools at Liverpool and come to us or that Guardiola was going to walk out on Citeh and come to us or that Dyche would leave Burnley where he is loved and come to us? I could go on but lets face the future with what we have; a manager who was a very good manager only a few years ago. Yes, he was charmed away from his safety zone by Fergie and since then has not performed to the same level but I believe he can regain his mojo at a club like West ham and until I see different I will continue to believe that and get behind him.

So many of our fans are so deluded it is hard to believe.

Will be interesting to see who Everton appoint.

Will be very interesting if Everton go for Sam especially when we play them in a few weeks time. What fun!!

and then the quotes we should have got rid in the summer that concern me,

That's not quite an accurate portrayal of what was said, though, really. The word 'probably' in his comment turns it into a 'with hindsight, it might have been better had we made the change in the summer'.

As my dad used to say hindsight a wonderful thing, let’s hope in six months that arnt saying in hindsight we shouldn’t have signed Moyes up

The only way we will be able to judge him is on results, Klopp got the boot from Dortmund and left them near the bottom of the german league does n't make him a bad manager , Mourinho got the boot from Chelsea leaving them mid table does n't make him a bad manager. So lets see how he does and then we make a judgement.

It's the normal way a manager leaves a club these days, it seems.

Hardly anyone sees out their contract, or leaves to take up a new job.

They now have 280 letters on twitter....

I myself am fed up with being unhappy about what has happened at our club .

Moyes is our manager now he deserves a good chance it won’t just change in the next couple of weeks and all the players for me now have a clean slate.

He has a tough job and I hope he can get the players fitter and that he finds out those who have a passion for the club and gets rid of those that don’t .

OldCastleSwift

I agree entirely about the Sully Jnr thing, and to be fair, he's a lot less vocal on Twitter compared to how he used to be, so hopefully he/his dad have realised how much of a negative feeling they created.

As for the 'leak', I guess at this stage it's just heresay. I mean, all I've seen is the reports in the media which have no substance at all, as far as I can tell.

He's not wrong Sam though is he.

OCS - maybe the teenage hormones have kicked in and football is no longer his prime interest......

"Rumour has it Sakho had reported to the physio with an unknown liquid leaking from his head after training. Gary Lewin informed him it was nothing to worry about, he was apprently just sweating."

NEoldiron

Vorse ;lol

baracks_a_hammer

Funny, however I would say a little harsh on Sakho.

IMO when he takes the field he works hard, especially running the channels. His problem is the spells out injured and throwing strops. When he does play though he’s of decent quality.

What was Sam going on about ?

grey_til_I_dye

C&B

He was referring to how Slav had privately contacted some players after he was sacked, and one or more had leaked that to the press.

Also said how Diddy D wouldn't stop wee Jack from saying stuff on Twitter.

Cuz1

Moyes said he’d spoke to Sam and he’d said was a good club to work for

Do you think Moyes would say anything else less than a week after he was appointed manager? Sam probably said a lot more and Moyes is keeping schtum

NEoldiron

ASLEF, if that was the case wouldn't Moyes have just not said that he spoke with Sam?

Thankfully since Jack has been more involved with West Ham ladies his juvenile posts on Twitter have lessened.

Now all we need is for Brady to give up her nonsense column in the Sun and we might actually reduce the amount of fodder about the club in the press.

Moyes first moves (allegedly) from BBC:

West Ham's new boss David Moyes could sell record signing Marko Arnautovic, 28, in January, less than four months after the striker arrived for £25m. Moyes wants Bournemouth's Harry Arter, 27, fellow midfielder William Carvalho, 25, of Sporting Lisbon, and Sunderland's Ivory Coast defender Lamine Kone, 28. (Daily Mirror)


He could sell Arnie, if someone would have him and he wants Arter, Carvalho, and Kone.

No just as they are friends in football,
A, Moyes wouldn’t have made it up
B, said something he hadn’t said, I wouldn’t be happy if that happened to me, just saying

Actually from the Mirror (via BBC gossip page); that's the Mirror who have a fantastic track record for spouting transfer nonsense.

Here's how I see that 'story' working:

Journo has column inches to fill

Thinks: Hmm - West Ham - new manager = transfer rumours

So let's take

1) a recent purchase that looks like they haven't settled yet

2) a previous transfer target for the club

3) a random player

4) a former player

Bingo, and time to knock off for lunch.

Vorselaarhammer

Isn't Arnie on International duty??

So Moyes having not seen a player yet even for one training session has already decided to sell him....

;hmm maybe not....

alderz

Also, David Moyes, renowned for using wingers, is selling one of three wingers at the club to buy two centre midfielders? Sure.

Cuz1

Wouldn’t know but think he bought fellani twice so anything could happen lol

alderz

People use Fellaini as a stick to beat Moyes with, but let's be honest, he was excellent at Everton, one of the best signings he made. And in Moyes' season as Man Utd boss Fellaini only made 21 appearances in all competitions. Since then he has made a further 121. It's not like he signed an incompetent player and shoehorned him in at every opportunity. He's played 56 times for Mourinho, and 65 times across two years for van Gaal.
