Somewhere else where problems run far deeper too. Be interesting to see who they get in. I'd laugh if it was Moyes.

You can start laughing. David Moyes is confirmed as the West Ham manager.

Moyes.
How totally uninspiring.
Great!

So, West Ham have also sacked their DoF, ditched that model and gone back to just having a manager and a chairman after just 18 months of implementing the new model.

Oh and they’ve reappointed a manager who they let go two years ago, and hasn’t been any good since the start of the decade.

You could be forgiven for thinking it’s a circus club with no direction...

Disappointed with this.

As taxpayers, all contributing to their swanky stadium, thought we might get a say on the appointment.

Oh well, I would have voted Moyes anyway.

As funny as it is it's hard not to feel sorry for them.

 

[Saintmagic]

Don't think Smith has too much longer at Villa either

Wonder how Trixter is holding up

No it isn't.

How did Moyes do there last time? Can't remember him being particularly good (or bad for that matter)

How is the reaction on there? Are they pleased?

More mixed than I thought but plenty who really aren't happy.

Suppose they're very much like us in that the problems run bigger.

I thought that some would be having a meltdown ....but as you say their DOF has gone as well so it looks like their troubles run deeper.

No chance! (feel sorry).

He was critical of his players` application yesterday, and not for the first time this season. That doesn`t usually end well.

That sort of record for the rest of this season would probably keep them up

Win 5
Draw 6
Lose 8

Gets them to 40 points.....

 

[greensaint]

Blimey, var is sh*t looking at the Arse-Chelski game.
Clear penalty in my opinion.

It's hardly a surprise that their DoF left though. He's Pellegrini's man; they've worked together before and they came to West Ham together. If you get rid of one, you have to get rid of both, really.

Of course it does highlight the issues of appointing a manager and a DoF as a pair. It goes some way to making the appointment of the DoF pointless. But hey, that's West Ham for you. I imagine that Pellegrini made it a condition of him accepting the job, and West Ham simply bent over and said yes.

 

[st_brendy]

Of course it's the guy who shouldn't be on the pitch who gets the equaliser.

Seems like Arsenal's new manager bounce earned them a massive 1 point, away to Bournemouth.
