Ypir wants are irrelevant, 100% it would be Dyche.
If Dyche doesn't get the job will you and your countless usernames fuck off from this site for good?
If he does I'll have.apint with you, bet you wouldn't turn up.....

we're in such disarray at this point that we need someone who can steady the ship and avoid relegation. Not sure someone young and inexperienced (Carrick) is what we need right now.

There is a risky but simple solution to this. It is also cheap so should appeal to Mr. Sullivan.
Potter must be sacked and now. Any question of compensation should be out the window. He is incompetent. See you at the tribunal.
All of the external names mentioned will want their own players. With 9 days of the window left a switch in targets and style is very high risk, so there is little chance of making an external appointment work.
The youth team play 3-5-2, Potterball but not so negative, promote the youth team coaches, Potts and Kean so some of the pre season training can be kept.
The board should buy a box to box midfield player, a general of a centre half and a mobile striker, they may have been identified previously and they will cost more now because the mess Sullivan and Co. have made and selling clubs will know West Ham are desperate. They should also cancel the loan deal for Alvarez, bring him back and play him as CDM.

Probably someone like Domenico Tredesco...
He's available NOW.
Well known to Kretinsky, apparently...

Bilic, because despite not rating him as a manager I like the bloke and desperately want some reason to not slide into a bizarrely antagonistic relationship with my own club.

Diego Simeone - except he has a very custy, well paid job for life at Atletico.
Boy o boy would he fire a rocket up the players arses but not before giving our owner a good tolchoking whenever he fancies sticking his oar in like a complete shitcunt.

Given Sullivan's complete aversion to paying compensation to another club, for a currently employed manager. rather narrows the talent pool, so we would be looking at unemployed mangers (as Potter was).
This list of free agent managers, hardly has anybody screaming "come get me."

but Potter has done nothing so far, to make me think he can be as even as good as Moyes, in his worse season.

At this point, if Potter were to be sacked, picking a new manager is somewhat futile. They couldn't really be expected to have any more success than the previous two incumbents, or the final years of the one before that.
In fact barring a somewhat incredible 18 months, the majority of which was during the black swan of COVID, what succss have we actually had since getting back in the Premier under this ownership:
- Grant - relegated
- Allardyce - promoted...PL failure
- Bilic - Almost entirely Payet driven...ultimately failed
- Pellegrini - promised much, delivered nothing #BigClubMentality
- Moyes - 18 months of good, followed by 30 months of shite
- Lopetegui - disjointed mess, all be it better results than Potter overall
- Potter...writing feels on the wall.
All have come in, talking about how we're a big Club. None have really succeeded on balance.
In the same time, look at the successes that Brighton, Bournemouth, Palace, Fulham, Villa and many others comparable or smaller than us have had despite starting from lower positions. Smaller crowds. Lower stature. Smaller fan base.
The trail of failures is the real legacy of the idiots in charge. They've been shown time and again to be abject failures at delivering progressive Football club management. Brady is a charlatan. Sullivan is at best an old has been.
They should be embarrassed.
And this is why "who do you want for a manager" is so futile. They can't actually succeed. It's actually the conversation that Sullivan and Brady want us to have, as it defletcs things from them if it's the 'managers' fault.
Even today, Sullivan has briefed Ex with info about incominga, where he pointedly states "he can't do anything that the manager and Kyle don't want him to do". Instant anti-manager, passive aggressive stuff.
Sullivan out should be the sole focus of all that is left of West Ham. Club killing cսnt.
Beautifully put, Stubbo.

What we want is irrelevant. Sullivan will recruit another one without a set of requirements or plan. Its who is available, out of work, older if possible, must have managed in the Prem, once won something, once managed a club Sullivan thinks is big and hence has the bling factor. Alternatively if we are in the bottom 3 ( likely ) the requirement shifts the last 3 requirements above to “safe pair of hands” and “survival expert” with minimal investment required like Dyche.

We’d go straight down under Di Canio, but he’d call out the board and all the issues at the club before we sank.
I am surprised we don’t have much interest from foreign buyers (at least publicly). Everton, Leeds, Newcastle, and Bournemouth are all foreign owned and all outperforming us.
And as someone else pointed out, clubs that have been promoted in the last five years have raced past us.
apart from those that went straight back down
to be fair those few that have survived multiple seasons (Forest, Brentford, Palace, Bournemouth, Wolves) are probably ta least on a par if not in better shape than we are today. It's all down to how they ae run and the decisions at the top.

Decent managers are like decent players linked with us. Always close but no cigar.
why could that be I wonder?
