This, they already want him out.
You would think Pardew but you can never predict what is going to happen at that basket case of a club.

Would agree with all of those, except Big Sam who, although l'm loathe to admit it, is doing a pretty reasonable job at West Ham.

Greg Abbott it is then, thought they would allow him some more time since he has been there for a while.

David Burke
The time spent here is coming up to the longest he has spent at any club.

Didn't see that coming.
Serious question if things go badly this season, who's head will the fans call for Oscar who is not bringing in the current signings or David Burke?

if I understand what you're trying to say, Burke = Director of football , Oscar = Head coach.......

I for one don't like this set up. I have looked at David Burke's career in football and I can't find out if he in fact ever played the game. He has spent time in previous clubs bringing in youth, so what experience does he have in identifying the needs of the first team? Maybe I have just not been able to find his good career record, who was his best signing for his previous clubs.

has the guy signing the cheques got any experience ?.......it's the modern way of doing things, players are identified on internet information (not available to us), the days of physically scouting players are coming to and end .

So in future we won't sack managers for bringing in and having a poor squad, but the internet programme and the director football? Is this the way it goes, because I personally think that is crazy.

Another question on this identifying players by the internet.
Do you think this programme has been used in this transfer window by Crystal Palace to identify their 16 signings, as they have admitted to having a very poor scouting set up.
If you think they did, I will watch their signings with greater interest in the coming months.

Oscar. If the coach can't get us going, it is his fault. If he can't coach because the players aren't good enough, that is Burke's fault.
The players are good enough. So too is Oscar.
But I thought we were completely disorganized and playing hoofball and it was all this mans fault? What happened?

In that case a very successful season is in prospect in your eyes then.

IMHO it is obvious that Oscar is getting through to the players as we have improved from appearing to be a disorganised rabble at the start of the season to a team that looks like they could achieve something, in a very short space of time. This has got to be down to Oscars coaching
