Couldn't Think - from January 2024
Whoever comes in needs to be given time, he's going to inherit a small, old squad that needs at least 10 new players which he's not likely to get. For all of Moyes's achievements here, developing a decent squad for anything other than the season at hand is definitely not one of them. -
Moyes In or Moyes Out
Now I’m not up to date with too many foreign players let alone coaches and until the Liverpool rumours started I admit I’d never heard of this bloke.
Maybe he’s a good fit maybe not., maybe some people think he’d be a great appointment purely because of the Liverpool story, I suspect the vast majority had never heard of him.
But IF he becomes our manager then I will back him as I have all of them.
Re Moyes, I’d definitely walk at the end of the season, he doesn’t deserve the abuse he’s getting. His West Ham record will show him to be our most successful manager and he can leave with his head held high. -
Moyes In or Moyes Out
We don’t have much of a record appointing managers. Around Moyes we had a champions league success, Avram Grant who was lauded when he came in but got us relegated in 1 year.
The next was Manuel Pellegrini, a PL winner, again lauded when he came in but was on the point of getting us relegated in 1.5 years before we got rid. Our football under both was pretty poor most of the time.
Apart from a slight flirtation last season we’ve never been near relegation with Moyes. -
Moyes In or Moyes Out
What will be interesting, if the Amorim appointment does come about, is how the pundits will explain away the 'what a good appointment' attitude they voiced when it looked like he was going to Liverpool as opposed to the 'be careful what you wish for' attitude in removing Moyes and then getting him at West Ham. -
Moyes In or Moyes Out
If it's true and Moyes is on his way out I hope he gets the very best of goodbyes from the London Stadium and the club. History will view him in a much better light than during his actual time at the club I feel. He has been an incredibly successful manager for us and provided some much needed highs to balance the lows of the previous years. This said it is the strangest of situations as despite recognising this I still couldn't argue with the club wanting to choose now to make a change. I think he has taken us as far as he can and if taking the gamble of a new appointment I recognise we could be losing the stability he has brought, but we could also make some progress as well, certainly in how we set up and how we play. Sport is about aspiring and taking a chance at times and maybe now is the time to gamble and accept we may lose but that it's all part of reaching out for higher. -

There are literally only 3 teams that have conceded more goals than us this season and they all occupy the relegation spots. Make no mistake we are going to be bang in trouble next season I think. Too many thrashings this season and get out of free backs to the wall daylight robbery performances from this team. The luck will run out big time much like Leicester's did.genuinely worried about next season, we could be Leicester of last year and go down with this lot. Whoever is the manager next season has a right problem to deal with.
I wonder, with the historical trauma of supporting West Ham for decades, if this is a thing for a lot of us? I too am a bit worried that players like Paqueta will go and we will struggle to get in strong players for the squad. It really isnt a big dip from being top half of the table to fighting relegation for a good deal of the teams in the league.
Yes, Europe is over and with the teams we have to play this season it will not be a place we'll be visiting next season. Perhaps just concentrating on staying in the Prem will be a good idea as I wonder with ins and outs what shapre our squad will be in -

Moyes hasn't played the fatigue card, he just said it was a shocking performance.
He looks ashen faced in that interview, he just about kept a lid on it.
I’d love to been a fly on the wall in that dressing room.

Probably or they wouldn’t just be fringe players -

Looking at the picture of the VAR decision on Coventry’s “winner” yesterday it must have been the closest call ever. He must have had a slight crumple in the toe of his boot to determine he was offside. It looks like he is leaning slightly backwards to make sure he’s onside whereas the Utd player is leaning forwards and body wise seems to be playing him onside.
The offside rule needs changing and it shouldn’t be determined by the size of players’ feet. -
