Didn't have the hightest win raqtio ever at Spurs and miss CL qual by 1 point.
Problem is he spunked away the 150m Bale money on his transfers.
However I'd have him in shot

Think he's been badly treated in the PL by trigger happy clubs with shit fans.
Wouldn't be my first choice but he'd be given time here and wouldn't be overly disappointed with him

It's been reported he doesn't want a return to the PL, but wouldn't he just love to put the record straight? He's just won the title with Zenit so he's obviously got something about him. He's one of about 6 managers I'd take.

I think AVB is a great manager. He's been very harshly treated in his previous stints in the premier league. I'd be happy if he was our manager.

Marc as Club Manager.
Paul as chief coach.
Pat as goalkeeper coach.
As the backbone of our coaching/training team.
A good blend of skills,backgrounds and personalities.
Unlikely to happen.but its the way a club owner should look for leadership at a top club.

Despite having the likes of Ron Greenwood and Peter Brabrook forge successful careers with West Ham despite previously turning out for Chelsea, the clique on here have decided that ex Chelsea are out of bound cunts. So fuck him.

He's only ever managed rich teams.
Always has some of the best players available to him.
Doubt he'd want the stress of a normal club.

His football is uninspiring and he gets sacked quickly. Im not sure he's the right fit.

Four reasons Chelsea legend Roberto di Matteo would make a great West Ham manager
Julian Shea for Metro.co.ukThursday 9 Apr 2015 10:11 am

With time running out for the 2014-15 season, the general feeling amongst West Ham watchers is that time will also soon be up for Sam Allardyce.
The manager’s contract expires at the end of a campaign which once held so much promise but now seems destined to end in huge disappointment, meaning it looks like Allardyce may miss out on taking the one giant leap for Hammerkind that will be summer 2016’s move to the Olympic Stadium.
This rips open the can of worms about who should replace him. Names bandied around so far (with varying degrees of believability) include David Moyes, Rafael Benitez, Glenn Hoddle and Slaven Bilic, but there is one name curiously absent from contention who would seem to be an ideal candidate. That name? Roberto di Matteo.
West Ham’s previous managerial acquisition from Chelsea, Gianfranco Zola, was hardly a great success – good bloke, but out of his depth. Di Matteo shares Zola’s Italian nationality, club background and nice guy status – but unlike the Sardinian, the current boss of Bundesliga side Schalke is the proven real deal as a manager. Here’s why he could be the answer to West Ham’s prayers.
1) Success. A cabinet full of playing honours may not have helped Zola manage, but Di Matteo has been there, done it all both on the pitch and in the dugout. So far every team he has managed have achieved. At MK Dons (note the lower league start to learn his craft, rather than walking into a top job – always a good sign) he took the team to the play-off semi-finals, losing out on penalties. At West Brom, the Baggies eased to promotion to the Premier League at the first time of asking. At Chelsea, he won the FA Cup and Champions League. Although Schalke are out of this season’s Champions League, they went down fighting with a 4-3 win at reigning champions Real Madrid.
2) Experience. A background in the Premier League is a pre-requisite for any potential Allardyce replacement. Di Matteo has it in spades – six years of it playing in it, and having managed two clubs in it.
3) Culture. Despite their distant birthplaces, when it comes to England, Moyes and Benitez are north-westerners at heart. Much of Hoddle’s time in recent years has been spent on his Spanish academy. Bilic’s brief flirtation with English football was nearly 20 years ago. Although currently based in Germany, former Italian international Di Matteo played and managed in England for 16 years – mainly in or close to London – has an English wife, and two of his children were born here. Settling would hardly be a problem.
4) Ambition. Schalke are continuous knockers on the door of both Germany’s and Europe’s elite, but without ever threatening to gain full admittance, and with next season’s Champions League looking to be out of reach, that glass ceiling looks as thick as ever. But for an ambitious 44-year-old, the opportunity to help West Ham gatecrash the top table as part of the stadium move could prove tempting.
