Reading about MoN going to the spammers on BBC, if it actually happens the way they say it will, shows how a shit chairman runs a shit little club. 
Letting it slip that a manager will be sacked after the next game and his replacement has already been arranged is crap.

It's disgraceful. I feel sorry for Avram Grant.

If I was Grant I would tell Mr Tumnus and Pornodwarf to pick the team themselves and tell them to go and wedge the biggest dildo they sell right up their little shitboxes.

He will keep them up but not by much as their squad is absolute gash. Even some of their main players are crap - Green, Upson, Cole etc. Nice to see how far his star has fallen.

I'd make sure that I get my multi million pound pay off first, then would do the above.

I'm not sure why they have chosen to do it this way but according to the BBC earlier today, Grant has known he was going to be replaced and finalised his pay-off on Thursday.

I don't hate O'Neill.

I resent him for the way he shat on my club, though, and I wish him ill in his future endeavours.

Me too. Don't know for sure what went on, but I'd have a lot more respect remaning for him if he'd have gone in May. Still think he's a good manager though, obv.

Agree with above but MON is only good at a couple of things and not good at enough things to be a real top flight manager. He's ideal for West Ham though, as one of his strengths is being able to raise a mediocre team to play beyond their expectations and I suspect that they will survive relegation with him this season. Long term I think he will struggle there as he won't have the resources he had with us and his brand of football will be picked apart by the East End loving press who seem to believe that WH are some sort of footballing centre of excellence.

The more I think about this one, the more it surprises me. Clearly MON's failure to get the job at Liverpool or even Newcastle has been a profound disappointment and he seems to have taken a thankless job at a poxy club. Most of the top clubs will have been watching his time at Villa and recognised his weakness in football style, transfer dealings and loyalty so probably would not touch him with a barge pole now. Perhaps this move is a chance to salvage his reputation and to line him up for one last chance at a Top 4 club job - there are bound to be a couple of vacancies in the NW in the medium term. Or perhaps he's just gone for the cash!

I hope he's successful a week next Wednesday, and maintains his run at the Sty.

There's a lot of understandable bitterness about the timing of MON's exit but you need to very blinkered to deny he took us up a level - and equally so for thinking he won't have a positive effect at West Ham. He's highly unlikely to have anything like the same money Randy gave him and the squad is even poorer than when he took over from DOL but I won't bet against them staying up.

As for Grant, the same with Hodgson, they earn big money - and get a big pay-off when they leave. No tears just slightly bruised egos.

Like you I pray that we will get stuck in tomorrow and for the rest of the season. I hope GH can instill a sense of confidence and spirit which, and even you have to admit, has been lacking. Yes, Chelsea apart. Which only proves we have the players. Now he has to get them to fight every game.

I wonder if the Chelsea performance had anything to do with Terry's comments last season.

Mons best hope at a big job would be to keep west ham up and next season get them top 8 to top 10- that way he would be in the running for the spurs job when harry tales over from capello in 18 months time.

If true, MON's going to have a great time working with Sullivan, Gold & Brady. I think it could be a very short lived combination. How MON's value has fallen.

I look forward to our next meeting with West Ham.

By the way, a shocking way to treat Grant, irrespective of the payoff - no class.

If I supported a team that was in the bottom three, it would be exactly the type of managerial appointment I'd be looking for.

Oh.

Plenty of talk on Twitter that it's Jol, not O'Neill that is lined up for West Ham.
