Potter Sacked!

[THUNDERCLINT]

Had enough of this arogrant no mark now.  

11 games, 27% win ratio and 0.66 goals per game.

Either the break clause is true or this flake quits otherwise were proper fucked.

[southbankbornnbred]

We all have different views about potential managers etc.

I just hope that, whoever comes in, he can tighten up this poor side, grind out some results and restore a bit of pride and confidence among the fans.

The backdrop at the club - Sullivan and Brady’s obscenely poor stewardship - will remain for now. So, it won’t be easy for anybody. But hopefully the team, manager, players and fans can unite.

If it’s Nuno, so be it. I hope he rips it up. Because he’ll be our manager.

For more than two weeks our owners, the media and Potter too knew he was a dead duck. So the question is why now, what has brought this to a head such that he is dismissed at almost the eleventh hour prior to a game he has prepared the team for and after the pre match presser?

[El Scorchio]

Oh well. Don’t feel sorry for him as he made his own problems. Everything was in his ability to change things. He’s had more time to get things right than anyone else ever. 

im hoping the timing means the new manager is able to take over for Monday. which was the only reason for it being done now. 

will be very interesting what happens to JWP, Kilman and Hermansen etc.  I don’t think Nuno (I gather it’s him) will fuck about with who he thinks is working and who isn’t. 

may you live in interesting times as they say!

Have to agree he's made his own problems to a large extent. He had a slightly shitty hand from Sullivan (don't they all?) but he did not play the cards he did have in the best way ay all with his team selections particularly with midfield and strikers.

JWP surely cast out
Kilman- well I don't know how much choice Nuno or any manager has with that albatross. Maybe Todibo gets a chance under Nuno. It's a shit show in that position (see the shitty hand comment above)
Hermansen- to be fair he might look a bit better not being hung out to dry by the catastrophic defending of crosses and set pieces. Putting Areola in didn't change anything in that respect really. But we might have to face the fact that he's another dud purchase and just the latest in a long fucking line of them- only difference is this one cannot be hung on Sullivan's neck for once.

The irony of replacing Potter with the only manager he's beaten this season is akin to buying Paul Hilton from Bury.

 

 

Indeed ag, ag, ag !!

I hope Nuno improves things and you would think that cannot be that hard but he’s not got the squad options he had at Forest in terms of pace and athletes especially in the biggest problem area that remains at West Ham which is central midfield. Lets hope he can get Kilman playing better as he did at Wolves and hopefully we wont be seeing JWP and Soucek starting in midfield. Tommy has a role but its not as a central midfield starter.  

Word of caution, West Ham has seen off managers like Pellegrini, BFS , Moyes and Loppy recently and edsome of them came from successful stints elsewhere. Only Moyes enjoyed an 18 months of good league form so Nuno is no guarantee of better times. That said, I hope he can get this squad to deliver far better results or we’re well and truly fvcked

'Confidence' that Nuno will be charge vs Everton on MNFLatest from Sky Sports News' Kaveh Solhekol and Rob Dorsett:There is confidence on both sides a deal can be agreed in time for Nuno Espirito Santo to take charge of West Ham against Everton on Monday Night Football.He will be taking training with the squad this afternoon.

Ag ag ag!

He should have gone at the end of last season.
It was plain that it was not working then.

The Potter debacle had Brady written all over it. She wanted her husband’s mate on the firm. She took Sullivan for the mug he is. Sack her now.

 

 

 

 

I don't see her lasting for very luch longer and I think that will be also her and her dickhead husbands wish as well. I don't think you can get any bigger face saving sunglasses to cover her obvious embarrassment she feels about it all from Potter to the shambolic Stadium she's lumbered us with. Tuesday morning wouldn't surprise me after a heavy defeat.

You know who I feel immediately sorry for? All those travelling Hammers up to Evertons new Stadium who will have to be put through torture at a real cost to them. That's how irresponsible and shows how much BS Regime don't care about the fans.

Hopefully they give the Board a fantastic warm welcome in the Away End at least. Typical West Ham gallows humour also helps at rock bottom times likes these. 

[Mad Dog]

Better late than never but...

This should have been done a week ago to give nuno a week with the squad.  Typical board ineptitude

[Takashi Miike]

may leave the u21s in the lurch, but i'd be happy with potts & keen for the foreseeable futire. the little cսnt would only bring in another yes man, so promote our own instead


And then that's posted ⬇⬇⬇⬇

“Same Shit. Different Day. It’s the West Ham Way.!”

[El Scorchio]

From the Beeb:

West Ham are set to appoint former Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo after sacking head coach Graham Potter.
Portuguese Nuno is expected to be in place before Monday's match against Everton, saying he has had positive talks with the West Ham board.

[El Scorchio]

I see Sullivan’s 77 in February. Can't be too much longer now surely?

He will bloody go on forever. Feels like it anyway. 

 

Geez, I did say the Club is probably working on creating a Sullivan A.I. version with all the money he's made out of the Club. They'll install the final element with a piece of his tiny manky brain being inserted in to a chip using a McDonalds straw he used for his last ever Happy Meal, so to give it that authentic braindead Sullivan feel just as soon as he finally pops his clogs...

Oh god that would be awful. Or a head in a jar like Futurama. For EVER.....

Going to be interesting to see a totally different way of playing and approaching games. 

Good luck Nuno son.

What, you mean actually getting results again?

Hoping Potts gets the stand-in role, just so he can have that he managed Whu in the prem on his C.V

Actually I wonder if this social media Potter face thing was the just final straw for both him and the club. That might explain the weird timing. 

If so can somebody please start doing the same thing with Sullivan and Brady’s faces?

I can think of a fair few duos who would work quite well for starters

[Lee Trundle]

So we’ve retained Macaulay?  For now?  

No point as Sullivan is now manager, coach, CEO, Head of Footbsll Operations and Director of Football.  He’s finally got what he wanted as you will see with thr thumping we get at Everton

 

Nah he's been binned too. Most of the coaches have been fucked off as well. Nuno has quite a large entourage so they needed to make room. 

Macaulay isn't a coach.  Where have you read he's gone?

Edit - Just seen the rumours that he's meant to go also.

[Leavemyarcelona]

West Ham board showing their class yet again

[Westside]

Can he take Hermansen and Ward-Prowse with him?

Don't think he needs to take Ward - Prowse, if Nuno comes in. He barely played Ward Prowse, when he was at Forest.
