They're keeping it quiet until after deadline day for renewing season tickets. I'd change my mind again and swerve
it if he was confirmed before then.....as would loads of others.
Maybe they should give a chance to some up and coming young manager, ala Dyche.
Bit of a risk, but the Cowley brothers come to mind.....What? eh? It could be a masterstroke.
i don't disagree at all... one of the most depressing things about being a West Ham fan is seeing so many other teams hiring managers no one has ever heard of or who have only a lower league pedigree and watching them to so much better than us...
like I posted in the match thread...
we are currently below....
Burnely
Leicester
Newcastle
Palace
Bournemouth
Watford
Brighton
and could conceivably end up below Hudderfeidl and Southampton...
yet apart from Benitez at the Toon... how many of those managers would we as fans have been happy with?
But yet all those teams stand a better than average chance of finishing higher than us
And yes, Wenger is finished... but in 22 years, this years 6th place is his worst ever finish isn't it?
I would never tout him as the future... but we need someone to stabilize the ship... stop all this relegation bullshit.
Unfortunately the "fans" decided that Allardyce was not their favorite (despite having been the only manager to ever get us promoted first time of asking, and at least understanding how to steady a ship) so what lies ahead for us?
To be honest.. I think trawling social media as I do and listening to the endless spouting of ridiculous ideas... we actually deserve Moyes... we deserve a manager without a clue who will get us nowhere but continually relegation flirting and piss poor preferences...
I just see no will at the club to push for anything better...
if we don't change our perceptions and expectations... nothing else will ever change.
