Everything Nuno has tried has backfired apart from the Newcastle game which he had to win and went against the grain,then we were lucky against Burnley. You can bring on someone like Soucek for the alst 10 minutes and he may score. To start him now is counter productive. A lot of people have watched Earthy for a long time now,his first appearances for the firs team at the end of Moyes reign were good. He looked liked he belonged,that was 18 months ago,he's progressed. i fear that Nuno didn't watch any of those games. Nuno needs all the help he can get,not watching the u21's live is a mistake,another one of his many in a short period of time.
I thought he was leaving in January... Nuno out Nancy in?

Nuno has made mistakes & some of his selections & subs have been bizarre
But he has got Fernandes & Potts into the team and we are playing better than under Mr Karren Brady’s mate CockPissPotter
He has one striker who is 34 and maybe play 60 to 70 mins and a German who has checked out
Dont expect anything at Man City but then we have a run of 3 home games & Wolves away
Will know whether we have any hope after that
Obviously we need changes in January but whether the dozy cսnt Sullivan will allow that who knows

Assuming we fail to beat Man City tomorrow and fall to a likely defeat, I would say a win against either Fulham on 27th Dec or Brighton on 30th.
Failure to beat Fulham would surely make Brighton the last chance saloon for him?
We should have got Sean Dyche when he was available like I advocated earlier in the season. I have never been convinced by Nuno the bus parking numpty.
No way does Nuno get fired. Sullivan
He fucking well should if he manages to royally fuck up the next handful of games, but yes knowing the gimp in charge he'll likely reward him with a new contract instead.
It's more a case of 'what are the alternatives if it comes to that?' if there's someone who would clearly be better who is available then fine but otherwise you're just giving yourself even less of a chance for the rest of the season. Whoever is here clearly needs a lot of help in the transfer market in January from Sullivan. firing Nuno before or during the window would just make things worse than they already are and I'd argue that he (or anyone) needs at least 2-3 players to make us even a basic functioning PL level team capable of getting the points to beat the drop. Whoever it is, it's basically cross your fingers that things pick up in January IF Sullivan actually gives the resources needed.
We've put our eggs in his basket now, I think that changing things at this point will only make it worse.

We look more solid under Nuno. More chance of staying up under him rather than Potter.
What is concerning is not being able to hold onto a win after getting into a winning position. The desire to try and hold onto a 1 goal lead has worked out badly for us against Bournemouth and Brighton.
Have we ever looked good playing 4 cms? I am sure we will see the same against Man City but he is our 4th manager to go with this and it takes away a lot of our attacking emphasis!
Needs to be braver with his formation though as clean sheets wont keep us up. Goals will.

Dyche isn't dissimilar in how he sets up. The key is that Forest have a far better squad and a stronger and more complete first XI than us and the other sides in the bottom 4 so it shouldn't be a surprise they are moving up the table. Don't forget they were pretty dynamic and successful last season under the bloke now managing us before his relationship with the owner fell beyond repair which clearly fucked the team before the completely baffling appointment of fat Ange and his retarded way of playing which didn't suit their squad at all. I doubt Dyche would have been able to do much different to Nuno here. He might have made a few different decisions some maybe gaining us a few points and some losing a few points but he wouldn't have been able to pull a PL quality striker or left winger or centre back out of his arse. The football would be largely the same because of the limitations of what's available to any manager. As a counter to him being 'better' look how badly he was doing at Everton before being replaced by Moyes who got quite a bit more out of the same players. It's easy to look at the league table today and in hindsight go 'We should have got Dyche' but it just doesn't work like that. None of them are magicians.

The fact that even we, as bad as we were/are, managed to beat Nuno's last side Forest 3-0, and the last time we had a clean sheet should have been a red flag when he indeed got sacked in the morning. So why then employ him.
The managerial equivalent of buying Paul Hilton after beating Bury 10-0?

So why then employ him. With us losing at City and Leeds, at home, with a very real chance of beating Palace, and Forest away at Fulham, probably a draw means we are a minimum 6 points adrift going into Christmas. Glenn Roeder years anyone. But, he has improved us, apparently. FFS

10 points out of a possible 33 after 11 games - Around about as bad as Potter and certainly with a lower win percentage than anyone thus far. Potter had 23 points after 23 League matches. Like I've said before, it's marginally better and that's mainly because we are tighter defensively.

It's a weird one.
He's made us back into a Moyes type of team, which is what people had had enough of under Moyes.
Potter was trying to turn us into a footballing side, but failed miserably.

Spot on. The bittersweet aspect of relegation is knowing Sullivan’s asset “West Ham London” takes a massive hit to its value ( along with fellow shareholders who he has had veto power over ).
It'd be a great outcome for those of you who hate the board more than you love West Ham

To add re Glasner- see the Emery section above. No manager can excel at West Ham. It's impossible. Even if they do do really well despite Sullivan, he just gets jealous and wants to cut them down to size or take their credit for himself.
Yep.
All of our recent managers have been successful in different set ups at different clubs..
This club isn't run with any long term strategy, it's just a process of put money in for one season for a new manager as "ambition; don't sustain it, watch results falter, wait 'til the crowd turn, then sack the bloke.
The only difference is the cycle is getting shorter with managers failing to last even one season.
The recruitment of players is frequently awful though this summer's don't look bad.
This window they will buy an insurance player who they think will get the club promoted if we go down and they will look to cadge two or three they won't be saddled with if we drop.
Yes, I agree. Actually I also think Moyes was the perfect manager for Sullivan which is why he lasted so long. On shaky ground coming here, not really in a position to cause too much disruption over transfers he didn't want, even procrastinating for ages over them to suit the 'end of the window' scenario Sullivan craves, never popular enough to take away any reflected glory or become an icon or a hero to the fans and abrasive enough to keep a love hate relationship (very much Like Allardyce, the only other long term appointment) happy to work with a limited squad and budget and not get above his station either in the media or to play sexy football and become really popular and most importantly not stupid or shit enough to actually get relegated despite flirting with it. The runs in Europe and the cup win was just the icing on the cake. You could tell Sullivan was well happy having such a manager here because everything about it suited him. I believe he would have given him his new contract if he could have worked it out and I also think he'd have happily employed Allardyce for longer as well in a perfect world.
It has to straddle a fine line between being savvy enough to not get us relegated but not charismatic, popular or good enough to get the glory. Bilic clearly was the victim of his own personality and success in those respects because it threatened Sullivan and AS SOON as there was a excuse to fire him the bullet came. I don't think he will ever hire another manager who he fears will be adored. That's why there was never a cat in hell's chance of Mourinho for example. He wants someone grateful, cheap, controllable, of limited popularity and of adequate talent to keep us ticking over until (What I am sure the masterplan is) we finally get given or sold cheaply the stadium and then he takes his money and runs.

I called for it at the time and hate this fucking Club's Owners for never showing any ambition getting him by paying the compensation to release him from Villarreal. Unless they're out of work costing him fuck all, he aint interested. A massive missed opportunity that's in-keeping with the BS regime of penny pinching. He would have set us up for years to come just as he's predictably doing now at Villa.
What was your username on here when you were calling for it back then?
Wasn't calling for it on here as weren't signed up by then.
