  • I do agree Vorse, but 10 games is too short a period of time IMO
  • Enjoy it while it lasts, Capt'n... ;wink
  • So what do people think are realistic targets for the new man?

    As far as possible in Europe
    A good go at the FA cup
    Capital One Cup - Youth development
    10th or higher in league
  • I am not changing to Zagrebhammer!!
  • The beaded one has arrived.

    All hail the bearded one.
    The beaded one?

  • Barracks yeah I didn't mean 10 games as the definitive review.

    By then I will have had a chance to see the signing / style of play etc.

    So can form a better opinion, let's see where we are at Xmas and at the end of the season...

    I really hope he goes on to become our Diego Simone....
  • So what do people think are realistic targets for the new man?

    Three year contract, realistically I think G&S see him as a bridge between someone like BFS and a Klopp/Ancelotti/Benitez who we could attract once in the OS. Based on the reasons BFS left then I would be happy with three years of:

    Top 10 finish
    "Attractive Football"
    Bringing through the youth
    At least one cup run a reason in League/FA/Europa

  • Slaven ;wahoo
  • I am not changing to Zagrebhammer!!
    Me neither! :)

  • A new era , welcome Slaven ;ok ;wahoo
  • Mchammer it's the ability to make fun of my spelling that made me love teachers so much....

    Your just getting me back for saying I didn't want any Mc's to manage the club aren't you.... ;biggrin

    either Top 10 in the league
    or
    Staying up with a good Cup run / Europa performance.
  • All joking aside, I'm made up with this. I genuinely think he'll do wonders for the club and can take us forward.

    Welcome, Slaven. Welcome, Mighty Beard.

  • Nice to hear 'its a privilege' to manage the club. And mentions the fans ;clap
  • Brilliant news. He will add some steel and organisation to us, as well as introduce more of a pressing, high-tempo approach. Not sure where the likes of Carrol and Nolan will fit in - what a shame! Can he now persuade Demba Ba to follow him.
  • ;wahoo ;wahoo ;ok
  • Main target for me is attractive football, like first half of last season but throughout the year.

    Would be fine with similar league position if we can get to knockouts of the Europa.
  • Who's making this their profile pic?

  • GREAT News , this guy has some fight in him and knows how to play football
    always builds teams with solid back line and exciting going forward ;ok

    Welcome to West Ham Slav ;scarf
  • Bring back Demba-Ba and we can have a Senegal front attack.
  • So what our BIlic smiley???

    Can I suggest a Mighty Beard....
  • The thing is, if it all goes wrong and we struggle with the workload of Europe, he's the sort of manager you'd want in a relegation scrap. Certainly over a Zola or Grant.
  • So what our BIlic smiley???

    Can I suggest a Mighty Beard....
    th
  • ;clap onwards and upwards would be so happy with a top ten finish and a cup run or two ....... ;hmm lets win something how great would that be in his first season ,no pressure there then slaven have a good holiday and lets get to it ,oh by the way dont forget to take your phone to the beach .the davids now own you 24/7 ;whistle ..........welcome welome ;scarf
  • My realistic aims would be.

    Solid finish in the league (anything around 14th or higher)

    As long as

    1) There is clear evidence of a better style of football

    And

    2) We progress to the group stage of the Europa League

    Cups are a bonus, but would be nice to take one seriously (again Europa dependent).
  • Agree Twist, liked the focus on the fans and the 'cult club' comment.

    I think this guy will look to build a strong relationship between the team and supporters.
  • Slaven Bilic's claret n blue army
