As I said Sacking Potter wasn’t the answer

[Prometheus59]

Nuno is even worse 

[stubbo-admin]

The squad issues are mostly to do with lack of continuity in playing style. If we'd got Nuno in after Moyes and given him the money that's been spent, we'd be in a much better place.

Frankly, we'd probably be better off if we'd backed and just pushed through with the mental blinking Spaniard.

But the sequence of Moyes-Lopetegui-Potter-Nuno, with a liberal sprinkling of Steidten and Sullivan mixed in, has got us to a place where the squad is, understandably, a jumbles up mess who don't know if they're coming or going.

And that is down to a lack of coherent plan and identity, and that is at the feet of our self styled Chairman-cum-Director of Football.

Frankly, as a Club from the perspective of how we've been run we deserve to go down. The fan base don't...but the fan base don't run the Club. But if you get rewarded for doing things in a smart professional way, and get punished if you operate like it's amateur hour, all this is no less than we deserve.

Jean Luc, pre season would have been undermined by Sullivan doing most of our transfer business in the last 2 weeks of the window

Not really. It's not all about transfer business. Pre season gives weeks of training and friendly matches to drill the players in whatever style the manager wants to play.

The managers have all been failing but the abomination of a squad has been a huge hindrence. Sullivan has been the architect of this mess.

What Sullivan, no manager, head of recruitment, Tech Director or coach at West Ham has recognised is that speed, athleticism and stamina are now pre requisites for any player in any position in the Prem Lge. Until that is understood or acknowledged, nothing will get better.  It is probably as much a symptom of a club with no longer term plan and tactical identity however. So will likely remain an issue whilst Sullivan is still at the helm

[Jean-Luc Paul Goddard]

I think he means backed as in not sacking him a few games into the season. It was a 2 year "project" apparently. Obviously he's wrong. Potter should have been sacked at the end of the season, given how woeful the results and performances were last year. Then we would have had a new manager who had a pre-season and transfer money to spend to make the transition smoother.

Sully would still have chosen a shit manager no doubt, but we'd have been in a better position.

[Lee Trundle]

It's interesting you think he wasn't backed. 

We paid a million quid to get his bestie from Chelsea, and they then went on to grossly overspend on the players they wanted this summer 

[Fauxstralian]

Moyes was finished … 4 wins in 25, 74 goals conceded , conceding 5 at Palace, Chelsea & Fulham
Lopetegui didn’t know his arse from his elbow
Potter was a PE teacher 
Nuno seems determined to pick the most ludicrous team. And then pick it again after it was an abysmal failure

Whats the common factor?
All appointed by the utter clown Sullivan & his whore Lady Botox

[THUNDERCLINT]

What do you want to be when you grow up Thundercunt ?

Hopefully something grander than a cheese platter dabbawala at spurs Ladycunt.

[Come On You Irons]

Incorrect. HIRING Potter wasn't the answer, just like hiring Lopetegui and Nuno were not the answers.

This all boils down to one man. David fucking Sullivan the club killer. The anti Sullivan protests need to be ramped up. No fucking post match sit ins, but big numbers on marches and protests outside the ground.

Nope   Potter is a two year project   He should have been backed 

Nuno will preside over relegation    Then what ?


 

FUCK OFF LADYSMITH.

[Hermit Road]

Sacking both of them was the right thing. Appointments after the sackings are the problem. 

[THUNDERCLINT]

Ladysmith is back.

[RootsRadical]

Neither was sacking Loppy.
