Don’t think he gets enough credit for what he did at city imo, and think one thing he brings his ability to organise a team something we have lacked in recent years and can see a counter attacking team with ability to defend
And just read Brady’s rag Moyes allegedly says he was offered the job four weeks ago but asked to wait till the season end, so maybe the board started looking elsewhere fearing that Moyes was doing the same
Telegraph report all but done. £5m basic wage plus bonuses. He’s been round the stadium and training ground before holding talks with Sullivan where he agreed a three year deal in total.
I don’t mind admitting I do have some slight reservations about this. True his time at Man City was breathtaking initially, but it quickly unraveled thereafter. We can ill afford this as it is exactly what we got with bilic. Also if some of his Man City players fell badly out of shape then this is a real concern as Moyes has instilled a hard work ethic into our squad - this aspect simply must not be allowed to go backwards
I’d have much preferred Rafa but I read somewhere that that was a more expensive option
I'd settle for a breathtaking season! If we tail off then he'll get sacked like every other manager (apart from Pep of course) in the Prem...
Also, if players (like Nasri) get out of condition, these days they monitor everything fitness wise so it'll show the players lack of professionalism. Then he can go too!

Well done!
;clap
It also said Pellegrini did well at the interview, so not sure they are totally clued up...

Guardian equally definite, but say £10m pa.

Sky say just that he is to be 'the best paid manager in West ham's history'
The Irish Times go with the 10m figure, and also say it will be a3 year contract.
Talksport go with a £7m pa salary.

imo, it's good work. A reputable manager, with a good pedigree, and (it seems) paying a decent amount. Let's hope it works out ;pray
