West Ham United 25/26 relegation thread

[muskie]

Odds slashed from 5/1 to 7/2.

Watch this space.

I think we're fucked.

[Massive Attack]

Tutors 1st decision was to tell all the players to have 5 days off. So he's clearly extremely relaxed about it all before Arsenal next week on Sunday after everyone else has played.

[goose]

goose,

What do you reckon about Igor Tudor?

He did okay in a couple of short term gigs at Lazio and Juve. Longer term is questionable.
Big gamble given he has never managed over here, but they’re not going down.

hasn’t he got arsenal first up?

[Massive Attack]

I had a bash at the results to the end of the season, we stayed up on 41 points and I had forest and Brighton on 40. Forest went down on GD.

I did the same and Forest, Brighton, West Ham all stayed up but unfortunately Spurs went down. Did it 3 times to make sure as well, but each time the same outcome.

The moment you start relying on other teams to nose dive. The gig is up.!

COYI.

"Tudor was sacked by Juventus on 27 October, a day after the team lost 1–0 away to Lazio, extending their winless run to eight games, ending his tenure after seven months in charge"

Hopefully he can extend that run for another 12 games. Although 8 is nothing, Nuno managed 10 and still kept his job, only to then be saved by Paco the madman.

Tudor has the Croatian cup 2013 on his CV

[Sir Alf]

Note freudian use of word “gas”.

[Sir Alf]

I will not be getting my hopes up that the Spurs and Forest managerial replacements will fail. Im assuming they will get some kind of a bounce ( its only us that never does ) and that we still have to do it the hard way by continuing the good form / results.  Bournemouth we meet and yet again a team in a rich vein of form themselves. Unlike the Mancs, they have pace all over the team and in midfield which the Mancs didnt and that helped nullify them in terms of chance creation.  

Would hope that Pablo is available and obviously Todibo back too. Got to try and avoid injuries so expecting key players rested against Burton?  Then it will be about Nuno’s game management.  Every game is the proverbial “cup final” now. 12 of them.  My dungarees are already beyond repair from the follow thru and involuntary urination watching West Ham games gas caused this season. I may have to sit on a commode from now on which at my age is somethomg I possibly need to get used to anyway

[95 North - Let Yourself Go]

Have no idea who this Tudor geezer is but truly hope it goes completely and utterly tits up! First game against the Gooner’s, praying for a bloodbath to knock morale and ramp up the toxicity!

[Tomshardware]

At just 47 he's had more Clubs than Nick Faldo. Strange leftfield appointment. Hope it ends in disaster. 

Just looked up his CV, seems to stay 6 months to a year before sacked, what can go wrong.

[twoleftfeet]

Weirdly that Spurs cսnt ferret said the same about Frank going to his club as well. 

[Massive Attack]

It's got Christian Gross MK II vibes written all over it.

Never managed in the Premier League which will be a rude awakening for him.

You had better hope he's good with a Squad decimated with injuries as well. 

Being only an Interim Manager for 3 months (like so many of his previous positions), will his heart even be in it having fuck all affinity with the Club..

[Mad Ferret]

Looks like Igor Tudor going in at Spurs.


 

Unreal appointment, unfortunately! 

You're honestly impressed?

He did great in Italy.

I’m sure goose will be along shortly to confirm.

[Dick Shaftsbury]

Sounds catastrophic. Sounds fantastic.

[Fauxstralian]

Was reading he was sacked by Juventus after 8 games without a win
I imagine that would take some doing at Juventus 

My money was on Christian Gross coming back but understand he got stuck on the tube & missed his interview 

[stubbo-admin]

Looks like Igor Tudor going in at Spurs.

Plays a high press, 3-4-2-1. Never been in the Prem before. Injury ravaged squad....hope he bombs!

Pereira who used to manage Madinakis Olympiacos Club is on the verge of becoming Forests new manager.

Have Spurs panicked and gone for Heitinga yet?

Pereira has often had a good initial impact that fades with time. Not had a job longer than one calendar year for quote some time and a bit of a short term fixer...but what they need (and what we don't need them to have). 

Yes bit of a worry that he normally comes flying out the blocks, and if he's promising taking the players for beers if they win that will likely be more motivation that Dychey ever gave them.

Yeah, you're right. With all that "points then pints" stuff at Wolves, they loved him... until they didn't
