Martin o neill is the only name in the frame according to BBC and espn and BBC have reported Steve walford as being thrilled about returning to his old club- it's a done and dusted deal.



No, Lee Dixon said on MOTD he thought Walford would be thrilled. They're not quite the same thing.

You do like the media nonsense, don't you?

No guarantee that he will keep them up- they are a passing team and do not play o neills way , similar to the problem houllier has but in reverse- I fully expect Aston villa to finish above west ham- a win tomorrow will see us move up several places- let's go and get it!

The media were reporting Pienaar was signing for a 'major European club' yesterday, today it seems he's signing for Spurs. So maybe they're wrong again.

Do you not think if it was untrue that mon or west ham would have said so by now? Espn , BBC and. Sky all reported o neill will be taking over as manager, not might be , no question marks against their reports.

I'm not worried about west ham under o neill but some people seem petrified of him going there- he is not mourinho, wouldn't be surprised if when he turns up at st Andrews next week some will claim it's someone pretending to be him wearing a mon mask.

I wish him luck , he will need it but not in a million miles do I worry about him saving west ham above us - we are a far better team and houllier is a far better manager.

Like this you mean?

Quote
Avram Grant will not be sacked following West Ham United's match against Arsenal at Upton Park this evening, according to a very senior source on the club's board. Reports claimed this morning that Grant would be relieved of his position even if West Ham defeated Arsenal.

But when contacted this morning and asked if this was what would happen the senior board member told Guardian Sport: "I can categorically say that it is not correct. I do not know where that has come from."

Look at his overall record as a manager and what he has won , and give houllier time to build his  team in the same way mon was given time to build a team - houllier will come good .

Martin did a decent job here but given time I believe houllier will do a great job.

What evidence are u basing your statement "Houllier a far better manager" on..........his results, tactics. formations, motivation of the team, "attacking players in the media" on...............

Strange how the senior source at west ham didn't know where the report came from dave , as it was David craig of sky who said a senior source at west ham rang him at 1 45 and told him o neill was coming in and grant was going- suggests the west ham board font know whether they are coming or going.

It would also contradict Jonathan pearces view that one of grants aides told him grant was told on Thursday night that he would be going . My view is west ham are probably furious one of their people has leaked it like this as both they and mon have come out looking pretty bad.

Sky News are reporting that BAA have warned there could be major delays at Heathrow due to safety measures when West Ham are at home if MON is appointed at Upton Park.
I don't get it.

If MON becomes manager of West Ham I will lose what respect I had left for the man.

I always believed he left Villa as he thought that, unless you have shit loads of money, you won't win anything (with the Milner deal sealing it for him).

However, to then take over at West Ham (WEST HAM FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!) is a big kick in the bollocks. What a fucking ******. I don't use that word often, but he is a gigantic one if he takes over.

I hope Blues beat West Ham in the semi-final and West Ham get relegated if he takes over.

You let me down Martin. Now fuck off.

So do people know who this source is or not then?

If not, then why is it strange that he doesn't know?

I agree with East19, let's see where he takes us instead of judging him on 4 months work.
