Dawson is a cսnt 

Based on that TV bit I make Dawson right over Merson, at least as to whether it's a good job for Nuno. He's saying that Nuno took Forest as far as they could go, while West Ham are "a big, big club, way underachieving".

Personally I think Nuno should consider himself lucky to be at this club and given he plays the kind of football that Sullivan seems to prefer, he'll probably be in the job for a while if Moyes and Allardyce's time here is anything to go by.

It was the bit about our fans being deluded and wanting Moyes out and saying how can we expect to finish higher than 14th 

Confirmed on the WH site now

Did any of the board stooges get ahead of this news? The first i saw/heard was the official announcement on sky. Which is unusual. I expect there will be the usual claim from them 'I knew the news last night but couldn't say anything because it would ruin the deal for the new man'

I for one hope he doesn't succeed.
Nuno Espirito Santo's Claret and Blue Army is too much of a mouthful. 

Agree with Merson.

Given the last permanent manager we had who left of their own accord was Harry Redknapp it is not a particularly remarkable acheivement.
Before that it was Ron Greenwood I think.

Redknapp was sacked as well.

“I was choked (when I was sacked by West Ham).

“I did an interview with the fanzine and maybe I said one or two things about the chairman, whether that was it I don’t know.

“Looking back it was a silly thing I did. I was chatting like I am with you now. Obviously it got printed and Terry wasn’t too happy about it.

“That was a harsh lesson, keep your mouth shut.”

What if Nuno has 2nd thoughts and pulls out of managing us? Has it been officially confirmed yet, as knowing this Club you cannot rule it out.

I respect him a lot for agreeing on taking on a job in it's current state that's obvious for all to see. I'm sure the salary will help but still, this Club is in a right shit state everywhere you look from the Stadium, Board Out regular protests, mostly shit players, working for a despised 2bob Chairman that will do his head in sooner rather than later, this aint at all a happy place to manage. So fair play to him on that score, you wouldn't have blamed him for thinking fuck that for a game of soldiers, are you mad?! 

You did that for Potter, but that didn’t stop him claiming it. Even though Potter was his first choice.

No he didnt. I made sure i posted first just to beat the useless cսnt to it

COYI called it first. He (or her) always calls it first and is always right. If anyone says anything about it they are stalking him (or her).

Haven’t we beaten Everton yet. What a useless manager. 

Feels a bit like the club has spent the last 15 months throwing shitloads of money away on two incompetent managers and their staff as well as several mediocre, well overpriced players just to bring back Moyes again, this time with a suntan.

Good luck to Nuno. Utter shambles by the board, as usual.

One positive about this change is it happened in the nick of time with a couple of weeks left before the Transfer window closes so it give the new manager some time to assess what he has and doesn't have with immediate changes needed. Thank fuck we have such a smart, shrewd Board overlooking such things and feel safe in the knowledge they know what they are doing. 

Well some of it seems simple.

Drop JWP for Magassa and play him with Paqueta and Fernandes.
Bowen Summerville and A PROPER striker up top- maybe he can make one of the two of them look like Woods did for Forest or he can use Marshall.

Centre back and goalkeeper is the real conundrum. Maybe he can simplify things at the back so Kilman looks less shit. Full backs are ok.
I do think that with better defending of crosses and set pieces Hermansen might be able to be redeemed but otherwise the other two keepers are absolutely serviceable as we have seen.

He just needs to make the simple obvious decisions and have the players playing to their best strengths. That should see some kind of improvement. It can be a simple game if you allow it to be.

In all seriousness I always used to like forest but I lost a lot of respect for them when they played at ours last season for all their sportsmanship.  Hope we dont see too much of that, I do acknowledge its part of the game however

Looks like hes got the gig and expected to take Training this afternoon which solves that conundrum. Fuck knows what he could do in a couple of cobbled together training sessions, if not just the one if they travel up Sunday. 

Best of luck and welcome Nuno, you are definitely going to need it here.

Yeah no wins on the board and we dont get a touch of the ball for 70% of the game !!! 

Being slightly serious, Nuno looks to be the best option from the very small pool of out of work managers but we are essentially back to the secomd coming of Moyes in 2018/19.  If he gets us a decent 18 months if league form, Europe and a cup at least his 2 years in charge will make supporting the club enjoyable for a while again before we return to where we are under the failed regime of BS
