Bilic has a saving grace. The board has to take responsibility for London stadium, It's a massive **** up which has turned Home games from an absolute fortress(Upton) where it was tight and cozy making the atmos fierce. To this oversizedm cold, impersonal ****hole they're in now. It's a massive player in West Hams down turn imo so I think it will buy him a bit extra time to turn things round. Koeman inherited a strong squad and has spent a fortune. Their position is crazy and they're falling apart on and off the pitch as the Lyon game shows.
It's a tough one to call but I get the feeling the axe is closer to Koeman's neck, they're all over the shop and expectations are high.
Definitely not Grayson for me. Regardless of any valid criticisms of the guy the bottom line is that if we sacked him, which wouldn't happen anyway because we'd have to pay him off, no manager worth even a grain of salt would go near us.
Koeman is ****ed cos the fans don’t like him. He’s a ****ing decent manager but he did a shocking job with his spending, left glaring holes and overloaded a strong area in midfield. He’s a gonner - make no mistake.
I think Everton will show some patience. They are far too good to go down and have a load of new players bedding in. A striker in January could turn their season around. They'd struggle to get better than Koeman
My dad was convinced a month ago that it was only a matter of weeks before Koeman gets sacked and they come to Newcastle for a replacement. Have a genuine concern that either West Ham or Everton would be a bigger pull for Benitez than Newcastle and he could be seen as an option for them. Everton in particular would seem a natural fit. Newcastle have a relegation battling squad of players and if the boat is rocked even slightly I can see us dropping like a stone. Both Koeman and Bilic will be gone this season.
Can't see Benitez at Everton with his Liverpool connection. West Ham and Leicester more likely destination.
Yeah Benitez wouldn't give a **** about that. They sacked him anyway, not like he left on the crest of a wave.
****ing hate West Ham so good!!! Although it'd be difficult if any club was offered what they were with the Olympic stadium. Tiny payment for a massive stadium., Koeman looks a dead man walking IMO. Feel for Jordan mind and, for him, I hope they turn it around
Pickford would do well to concentrate on being a keeper, which he's very good at, and stop trying to be a combination of Beckham and Roberto Carlos on every kick he takes when only one in five is accurate and two of them are borderline dangerous.
