[Football] Slaven Bilic sacked by West Ham [Moyes in]

[Murray 17]

Bizarre that, wanting a manager who plays the 'West Ham way', they go for a guy who is not known for attacking, expansive football. He is known for not getting it right at Man U, and taking a Sunderland side even lower than they were when he joined.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

A fan base with a sense of entitlement in the mould of Spurs/Arsenal fans, but with much less to back it up. A few seasons in the second tier would be just the tonic.

 

[Triggaaar]

Bilic has the best points per game ratio of any West Ham manager in the Premier League, yet he was virtually pleading with the board to sack him

It was weird wasn't it, like he just wanted to be paid off. I exuded more confidence when I stood in the corner of the school disco.

 

[Grassman]

Bilic is a decent manager; he'll end up somewhere good.

West Ham are going nowhere though: terrible fans

Easy, Jevs seems a nice fella!

Bilic has the best points per game ratio of any West Ham manager in the Premier League, yet he was virtually pleading with the board to sack him because he has no answer for the malaise that has set in.

Watching his interview after the Liverpool match, he just looked like he just didn't want to spout any more excuses and would rather just get his things and go imo.

Did Hughton work under Gold and Sullivan whilst at Birmingham ?

Did Hughton work under Gold and Sullivan whilst at Birmingham ?

No, they had sold up to Carson Yeung when CH was appointed. They were already at West Ham by then.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Moyes might have talked himself out of the West Ham job after his parting shot to Karren Brady as he was leaving the job interview:

"It was getting a wee bit naughty at the end there so just watch yourself. You still might get a slap even though you’re a woman. Careful the next time you come in".

And yet they're probably going to appoint another manager who did exactly the same thing all last season at Sunderland! Couldn't make it up.

Keep your hands off our HOUGHTON.

Did Hughton work under Gold and Sullivan whilst at Birmingham ?

Dunno be's quite likely to bump into him in Sussex from time to time, Gold lives (at least some of the time) in Hurstpierpoint. Occasionally see his Roller out and about in Mid Sussex. .

 

[Don Tmatter]

For them the right appointment is absolutely vital as relegation could be the start of a slippery slope, is it right they don't own the stadium?
From our POV, put Moyes in

 

[BensGrandad]

If I was a Hammers fan I woul consider Moyes as a reasonable appointment and probably the best they could hope for.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

I'm just hoping that the 3 crisis clubs - West Ham, Swansea and Palace - lurch from defeat to defeat all season.

 

[Peter Grummit]

From BBC:

West Ham say Bilic's coaching assistants Nikola Jurcevic, Edin Terzic, Julian Dicks and Miljenko Rak have also left the club with immediate effect.

Chris Woods, who was goalkeeping coach under Moyes at Everton and United, is the only member of the coaching staff to remain.

 

[Simster]

I'm looking forward to seeing a YouTube clip from the Apprentice featuring two of the absolute biggest nobs on the bloke's side in discussion, with the voices dubbed with how they're going to improve West Ham United by sacking Bilic and appointing DAVID MOYES - and then the camera panning to Karen Brady giving her best "you really are fcking cluess" look.

Lovely stuff.

Did you watch Sunderland last season at all ?

 

[Justice]

I would linterview Chris Wilder seems to know his stuff.

 

[BensGrandad]

No I was watching Brighton get promoted not Sunderland a similar basket case club as West Ham get relegated.
