Nitric acid enema or bilic as manager

I'll go for the enema thanks

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

Probably needs to go, hate to say it because really wanted him to be a success, walk away Slav, thanks for the last season at the Boleyn where everyone was on your side

No need for abuse to a man who has acted with the utmost class. Shame to see some of our fans go that way but that’s football for ya

After saying I wouldn't,I've just voted in the poll on the other thread & with a heavy heart & a great deal of reluctance I've voted to sack him. We currently have the same amount of points after 11 matches that we had under Grant & at least he had the excuse of inheriting a poor squad. On paper we have some very good players & I reckon a change at the top might help us. Sorry Slav,I'll always have time for you because of that final season at the Boleyn but enough is enough.

He really does sound like a beaten man ,He might not wait, and walk instead ,feel bad for him .still love the guy but not as our manager .sad

Ex says if Slav does go it will only be a six-month contract appointment. Where is the money to pay for a decent manager to come in?

baracks_a_hammer

The Dave’s are behaving disgracefully. For a long time it is clear the role is beyond Slav. But they try to be be clever and talk of honouring contracts. Well, the Dave’s can proudly go ahead and do this, however they will be taking their sparkling athletics stadium straight into the championship with them.

Lukerz

So, since moving to the OS, batterings have included:

West Ham 2-4 Watford
West Ham 0-3 Saints
West Ham 1-5 Arsenal
West Ham 0-5 Man City (FAC)
West Ham 0-4 Man City
West Ham 0-4 Liverpool
West Ham 0-3 Brighton
West Ham 1-4 Liverpool

32 goals conceded in those 8 games alone.

Wins at the OS:

West Ham 1-0 Bournemouth
West Ham 1-0 Accrington Stanley (LC)
West Ham 1-0 Sunderland
West Ham 2-1 Chelsea (LC)
West Ham 1-0 Burnley
West Ham 1-0 Hull
West Ham 3-0 Palace
West Ham 1-0 Swansea
West Ham 1-0 Spurs
West Ham 2-0 Huddersfield
West Ham 3-0 Bolton (LC)
West Ham 1-0 Swansea

Two league wins by 2 or more goals, with all the rest by one goal.

Plus not to mention all the narrow home defeats (0-2 or less) and draws, as well as all the other away defeats. Just isn’t good enough.

Moyes and Phil Neville to West Ham for rest of season according to reports

steve

;weep Neville to ,could this get any worse

baracks_a_hammer

If so, I actually think the Dave’s want us to get relegated so they are not put under pressure by fans to spend money in the transfer market

What a shocking club we are. Owners need to go before anyone else

Lukerz

Honestly if it’s Moyes it will be #g&sout

Anything to avoid getting their money out.

baracks_a_hammer

The daves will appoint Moyes and then a few months later will claim they were within a hair’s breath of getting Ancelotti

FlorinRaduclious

Posted this in the match thread but probably should have done it here:

Whilst I agree that I do not really want Moyes as our manager, seriously what better/bigger managers would touch us at the moment? Again, I'm not the biggest fan of the Dave's but they can't get who won't come.

What manager would you suggest if we sack Billic Lukerz? Same question to others too, because I cannot think of an ambitious, ball playing, respected manager who I believe would join us in our current situation?

thornburyiron

Florin we couldn't get a manager to come in before and went for Bilic as about 5th choice. We are a poisoned chalice as we are poor beyond belief.

claretandbluesky

Relax I have just worked it out......... who makes us least likely to get relegated ? big Sam, but as the fans would see it as a backward step the board need soften them up so have created a story of Moyes, then upped it another level by including Neville to make us actually happy we get Sam.

We are falling for their master plan.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

I can’t see why they’d go for Moyes ahead of Koeman.

baracks_a_hammer

Because Koeman would want money to buy players.

Moyes on the other hand would come in, immediately declare that the squad is rubbish, not ask for any money to get in more players, and then relegate us. Job done.

FlorinRaduclious

Jorderz, do you think Koeman would come to us at this point in time?

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

I think we have good players and a big stadium. We’re playing terribly but Koeman would be lucky to get a better squad with better long-term prospects than us, IMO.

Lukerz

If Watford and Huddersfield can manage it...

FlorinRaduclious

Sweepy , all that is true and pre-season makes us a good 'project' and an attractive job. However right now we are mid season and potential relegation candidates and that changes things drastically, with players who aren't looking good. Managers fear their reputation being damaged (look at what happened with Koeman) and wouldn't want to touch us at this moment in time when we are in this situation.

baracks_a_hammer

So that just leaves “you know who”....

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

But the thing is, if you're out of work as a manager, you rarely get to take a job with a club in great shape, on and off the pitch. Otherwise, why would that club even be looking for a new manager?

I'm sure somebody like Koeman would look at our potential rather than our current form, and believe in himself to improve us.

He's got Twist's backing, so that's good enough for me...
