West Ham Online

Come home Paolo

It needs to happen, it is the only thing that makes sense.

The club is absolutely fucked, on every conceivable level. We're down, regardless of who comes in now. Nuno has to go immediately, and regardless of who we bring in, no one is up for it, the players, the fans, the club is dead.

The one and only thing that would put some fuel in the clapped out Skoda, is Di Canio. The stadium would be absolutely rocking, the players will have no choice but to fight to the death, or he'd fillet their hearts out, and most of all, it would feel like West Ham again.

There has to be a campaign for it. Nothing else would come close.

haha, the ferret cսnt's also a lefty. brilliant

I'd rather we put Harvey Price and Rosie Jones in the dug out.

Watching them have a spak in the technical area will be a welcome distraction from the football.

Have to say, that would be good entertainment to have Pablo in charge. He would really kick the players up the arse. I would love to see that.

Is this same guy who REFUSED to travel North of the Watford Gap. When he was in a relegation fight. And was out  the door. The nanosecond second we dropped.!

Is that you Sean.?

been a supporter all my life, I can't not plus Its easy to watch all the games on TV here. I'd probably still go to at least some games if I was local, moved to the US before we left UP so my forays to the bowl have been very few and far between. Do have to feel bad for those who go and support the team week in week out especially this season when its mostly been a hiding to nothing. 

Why do you bother to watch the games?

No offence, but you watch what games you can, you don't have to go over that shithole of a stadium, freezing cold, bored to death, watching our slow and painful demise in the flesh. It doesn't really matter to you what the paying punters are going through, week after week.

Do you honestly think your suggestion is going to save this club? Do you actually know what's going on?

Love DiCanio but it would be taking this already confused squad of individual manager (and owner) picks in another 180 degrees direction. Wouldn't his flair style just leave a woeful defence even more exposed?

No point in sacking Nuno, we might as well take our time and target a manager who can rebuild and navigate the championship.

Whatever we do I don't trust Sullivan in getting the right man, we're on a downward trajectory until he goes.

That shithole, if it was to work needs a huge ego and charisma to bring it to life. It wouldn't be excellent or world class but it would make it bearable. That's why Joe Cole, rightly, used to bang on about Mourinho being one of those characters who could embrace it. Sadly as always we missed the boat on Mourinho as well thanks to dithering Dave.

Too Late…

6 months ago.  Maybe…

Unsurprisingly, you're missing the main point, along with Anders.

The club is dying. The stadium was half full tonight, and even when it's full, it's dead.

The players don't give a fuck, and for the first time, the fans don't give a fuck.

We need Di Canio. Not to keep us up, not to plan long term. We need him for more than that.

Why do another short term employment? Get someone in that wants the job permanently, would Bilic manage in the championship? I still think Carrick or Bellamy.

To be fair I'd stick him up front!

I'm happy to say, My first ever post, here on west ham online, is to support this notion! 

I loved Paolo when I was younger!

He'd fucking dismantle the London Stadium bit by bit with his outrageous celebrations...

The club is on life support, we need a miracle.

It's only Paolo...

Nothing to lose, let’s fucking do it. Can’t be any worse.

at least it would be interesting.
