Next manager?

Chris Kirkland has called us clowns for sacking Bruce. Dean Saunders saying it's crazy to sack Bruce and he's still the best man for the job. The ex footballer old pals act is making me feel fucking sick. We just need a manager who can play players in their proper positions and fill the gaping holes in our defence and we will be fine. I'm sure that any decent manager would get us promoted. I'm equally sure that Bruce was angling for the reported 1.7 million pound pay off with his bizarre antics this season so the ex footballer clique can go fuck themselves.

Dean Saunders who had a win ratio of 25% at Wolves yeah thats a man who knows a good boas when he sees one

Alan Nixon on Twitter has said that one very serious candidate isn't even in the bookies' favourites.

Villas Boas?
Van Bronckhurst?
Howe?

DON HOWE  now thats a backard step

Is there anyone stationed at BHX checking incoming flights?

Yes and so far my mom looks favourite after quitting her hotel in spain

I would be monumentally underwhelmed if it was Moyes.

His record at West Ham :
West Ham United   7 November 2017   13 May 2018   31   9   10   12   29.03

Thats goals / won / drawn / lost / win%

He did okay there but thats the decision west ham made. Keep a guy who may keep you mid-table for 5 years, or try and push on with someone else a bit more progressive. Jury's out at the moment i guess. To me anyway, Moyes carries the scent of failure, probably from seeing his glum mug every 5 minutes after Man U took another beating

he did ok??? 29% win rate   is not ok in my opinion its crap its the same as lambert less than O'dreary and venglos

For any of the newbie group, it all comes down to how good the 2 people either side of them are. Henry may be a tactical genius or a brilliant coach, and the managers he has played under and coached with are certainly footballing types, but the assistant manager and the sporting director being right will allow him to do the job. Same for Terry etc.. A good coaching team and sporting director all pulling in the same direction should allow whoever gets it to thrive, no matter their experience.

I think this is one of the reasons that Dean Smith has been so good at that there Brentford, as was Mark Warburton as they have all the right people in the right places.

Do you mean CB at CB ,RB at RB etc?

Terry, Henry, Faria, Arteta, no thank you.

Whilst not sure about Faria myeself I think it’s a bit unfair to lump him with the other 3. He has been a fully qualified coach for a while now and has been working at major clubs. Terry and Henry are just Marquee names and we would do well to avoid them. Arteta has been going about it the right way but still would be a big gamble.

Agreed mate cant understad this love in for Henry he been an assistant for 2mins  and all of a sudden hes he answer to all our prayers

Wenger and Henry?  Wet dream or nightmare!

It’s a nightmare where you fall into a cesspit and get wet.

Wenger as DoF seems so obvious that, if he's interested, i can't see anyone else in the picture.

If that happens then Henry or Arteta become much more likely.

[Matt Collins]

I just don't see why Wenger would want that role

Show me any mid table PL manager who does better than 29%?  Not an apologist for Moyes but to be fair to him, he rescued West Ham last season with their unbalanced squad.  Monumentally underwhelming sums him up and is the wrong person because we don't need rescuing.

I have reached the point where I don't care who it is so long as it's somebody with a pulse, a brain in his head, an acceptance that loyal long suffering fans might actually know a bit about the team and should be respected and he should not be part of the old boy gravy train mutual support freemasonry.  Tick those boxes and I shall be happy.

I thought FFP didn't count when it came to paying compensation to clubs for managers?  Would kind of cast doubt over that tweet if that was the case.
