    It look Karren Brady less than twenty minutes to arrive at the training ground, sack him, then leave the training ground.

    Similarities to Slutsky in many ways, seems a really likeable guy, but is he just too nice?

    Laurent Blanc probably doesn't think he's that likeable.

    It’s a shame really but he’s done well to last this long in the modern game.

    David Moyes is expected to replace him in the next 24 hours.

    A bit of an odd appointment for them.

    On the whole I think clubs are far too trigger-happy (see De Boer and Shakespeare) - but in this instance I think he could have gone even sooner. He's been all over the place for 18 months or so, with a lot of talent at his disposal.

    Is he really that likeable? Seems a bit of a twat.

    Pretty shocked they think Moyes is a step up.

    Definitely. Should have gone in the Summer when they could have got a proper replacement in. Now they've had to reach into the bargain bin.

    He's very likeable, he was the star of the Euro 2016 TV coverage.

    I think they're one of those clubs though, who want instant success and aren't really realistic about what success looks like for them. There's question marks about who signs the players there. Makes me wonder how well any manager can really be expected to do there.

    Speaking to reporters as he left West Ham’s training ground today, Bilic said:

    “I expected it. There are no hard feelings.

    “I can be very proud of my work here.

    “We didn’t start this crucial season well. As in many clubs across Europe, the manager is the one who pays the price.

    “It’s a very logical move. The fans were brilliant to me from the start until the end.”

    Because everyone should be judged on one quote in isolation. Don't be silly.
