West Ham Online

"Posted the same last year. Nothing has changed, except win don't win matches anymore. I'm fed up, we can do much better"

"LJC 3:10 Thu Feb 23 You are correct. That is depressing to find out, so they do have to sack him, or he walks which will never happen. If they aren't sacking him now, what makes us think he will be sacked in the summer (assuming we stay up)?"

"Another media outlet adding to the pressure, i like that."

"The Standard called him out last night. They sumed up everything that is wrong with the club and why until Sullivan and Moyes go we will always be a joke! They reported how he's been backed with 200m since the summer and how we are one of the richest clubs in the world with the 2nd biggest attendances in the Prem.l, and how he's been talking the club down trying to manage expectations and save himself. They said ""his approach and downbeat comments belong to a club with far smaller means"" and that ""he must start thinking and acting as though he is in charge of a big club"""

Lee Trundle 3:24 Thu Feb 23 I'm coming around to the idea that Warburton and Noble would be absolutely fine. They would let the players off the leash and I think they would be so grateful to escape the Moyes mental cul-de-sac that they would do enough required to get us over the line.

Sullivan probably thinks Moyes would be a great manager to get us out the championship.

"Bielsa would never join us with the current owner, so forget about that one. By the time we get new owners it will probably be too late to appoint him. We need someone else in now. Even if it's just caretakers from what we currently have. Literally anyone else would be better."

"Contract runs to 2024 doesn't it""¶"

No way will that happen. He's gone at the end of the season whether we stay up or not.

What does worry me is that IF we stay up the board give Moyes another contract. Hopefully there is nothing written in his contract to that effect!

"No way should we even contemplate we are going down, that is loser mentality. Yes it looks terrible based on our league position but we do have winnable games coming up starting on Saturday."

"If Bielsa wants a three year deal, I'd say give it to him If we go down, he would look to the youth system and get everyone playing a certain way. Quick attacking football with work rate and intensity. If we stay up then next season we would see a completely different side with fast quick players etc. It all unravelled at Leeds due to massive injuries to key players, I think he would have kept them up in the end like Jesse Marsch did. Bielsa might be from an older generation but he is a project manager and if we do go down he's the type of manager we need, experienced, has a style and a style I think would suit this club down to the ground"

Will Still is a massive gamble for any chairman as much as I reckon most of the younger generation of fans would love it. I would think fuck it and give Bielsa the three year or whatever he wants. Atleast then we know our players would be busting a gut and would suspect do well in the championship if we didn't stay up

"With the criteria that's needed, there really is only one answer. WELCOME HOME PARDS"

"Interesting, the 'CV' I saw for Will Still makes him the perfect candidate. Really wants to join the club, not seeking crazy money and an excellent season so far so why no interest? In the unlikely event we were relegated with him as manager nothing to suggest he would abandon ship. In fact I am one of many who has said that any half decent manager would get our current squad ticking over again and lift them away from the relegation battle so why is sullivan failing yet again? Get rid of moyes whatever the result Saturday, unless we win 6-0!!! Ha Ha!!"

I don't accept we are going down now!

"I'd accept that we're going down now, and install a manager now with the idea he'll be managing in the Championship. If he keeps us up, then it's an added bonus. Will Still? Michael Carrick? Someone like that. They're young, hungry and forward thinking. The complete opposite of what we have now."

"Poch has gone from saying no in Nov to then saying yes now we are in the bottom 3, sounds legit! Also, Will Still, sounds great on paper but reckon he is still shy of experience to be taking us on. Wouldn't want it to end badly given his affinity to West Ham."

What about the Reims manager Will Still who according to the Mirror has expressed interest in managing West Ham? Anyone know of him?

"aldgate 11:58 Thu Feb 23 Maybe Sullivan shouldn't have gifted the Conservative Party £12,500 from club funds after all?"

"Hehe aldgate. Well the downside of his wealth is that he can live in a bubble and it fits nicely to his narcissistic personality / psychology. He no doubt is totally unaware of his own failings. A narcissist is unable to entertain even the idea of them being wrong on anything. They believe they are superior and smarter than everyone else. Bit like some of the posters on here :-) But I do like the ""low mirrors"" idea :-)"

"Just seen C&H article with Sullivan quoted raging about ""incompetent"" government who are ""terrible at running things"". Not sure the mirrors are low enough in his essex porn palace....."

"If Sullivan only wants Moyes to the summer, which seemingly is pretty clear now, as painful as it is I think you can maybe understand why he still thinks Moyes can still get us 17th and hence is sticking by him without all the hassle of sacking him and bringing someone else in short term with no guarantees of it working out? But at some point that faith would go out the window and his arse will go, and it seems a loss to Forest would be that point."

Yes I agree that Benitez is a yesterdays man. But surely that proves that Sullivan's small pool of options of out of work PL experienced managers is too small! To keep WHU in the top half of the table we need a manager on the way up. You'll never find that looking at only unemployed PL experienced managers. They had to have failed and been fired elsewhere...

"Like I said the other day, BENITEZ wouldn't be desperate enough to add a 15 game contract to his CV."
