Slaven Bilic gone

SlickRic

The least surprising sacking in a very long time.

Tom Mann Centuria

Quite unpleasant owners with delusions of West Ham being a bigger club without wanting to put the money in to make them so. Coupled with a lot of their fans wanting the team to play the "West Ham way", hiding to nothing for Bilic and whoever follows him.

I can't see what Moyes will provide. He's on a terrible run since his Man Utd stint.
Why take over a club who looks likely to get relegated. It's just going to end up Sunderland 2.0.
Only reason is money.

Moyes has failed at every club since Everton. Would WH fans be happy with him? Will he do a better job there than Bilic has long term? Can he turn things around immediately? Not sure if he's the answer at all. Maybe I'm being too harsh though.

I'll echo everyone elses sentiments, Moyes is a questionnable appointment. Hes been poor to brutal since leaving Everton.

I think West Ham have gone for the safe British appointment and going on the last few years, it could backfire badly.

There's the makings of a decent team there. They need someone who can organize and motivate them.

Hopefully he was sacked in time for all the podcasts recording this morning to have it on there shows.


Usually managers get sacked just after they finish recording.

As I said in the United thread a few days back, Moyes has gone to three clubs in a row with relatively low bars set, and failed to meet the targets. With the level his confidence must be at, this seems a dreadful move for a team wanting to avoid relegation, and I'd be very pessimistic if I was a West Ham fan right now...

There's that to consider

Usually the most persuasive reason of all!

To be honest I would have stuck with Bilic instead of appointing Moyes. Moyes is broken since United.

Based on the last few years:
Laughs?
Amusement at the expense of West Ham?

They should be, but the fans and owners alike seem to be completely deluded about their place in the footballing world. I've been watching football since the late 80's, I would never have associated them with success or 'good football'.

Lots of fans on bbc and the likes were adamant they didnt want moyes.
Think its all down to this so called west ham way of playing football. Its why they got rid of big sam because they wanted attacking football.

I was there Saturday and the fans have been sold a pup by the board,that stadium as a football ground is absolutely shocking. Too far away from the pitch and the atmosphere is like a funeral, couldn't even hear the Liverpool fans who were 4 goals up. Rent on that stadium is £2.5m a year, they are covering that in one match id say.

Another club that dumped big Sam because they taught they could do better. He would atleast have them organised.

Ah yes, the "West Ham way".

Because its been very successful in the last 50 years.

Feel sorry for West Ham fans getting Moyes

Think the game has passed him by now that the prem is quite modern and tactical

West Ham certainly have the players to take them out of the bottom 3, but will Moyes be able to motivate them sufficiently?

It's hard to see how he is much of an upgrade on Bilic, he's hardly done much to inspire any confidence in the last 5 years. The owners clearly have ideas above their station, so it's hard to know what would constitute success for Moyes. Would Premier League survival suffice for this season?
