I didn't want Moyes, but I was prepared to give him time to prove himself.

What do I get?

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

I didn’t particularly want Moyes, which is a bit strange because I was okay with SA, there again the circumstances were different. (Perhaps the pain of losing Slav played a factor no matter who came in) More than happy to back Moyes though and support him like any west ham manager, he’s doing well and I like a lot of what I see. Getting tough to beat and mugging teams off just like his EFC team did to us on many an occasion

;ok

No idea what you’re talking about and also, have half my biscuit.

Must admit that my reluctance was due in no small part to his stint at Sunderland, my wife’s family are staunch Sunderland fans so it is probably not surprising.

You can look back dispassionately at all his prior jobs and make a judgement but his time at Sunderland was felt, rightly or wrongly, very personally by many around me.

I have checked in on my humble pie and it is still there, untouched but I have checked on it.

Staying calm and carrying on ;wink

Hammerwombat

I didn’t want anyone.

Apart from Billy Bonds.




Goes back to his gloomy place with the donkey from Winnie the Pooh.

ClaretandBlueforLife

To be honest I was relieved when Bilic was let go, for both our club and Bilic himself. He looked, especially this season like a defeated man, with no idea how to make things work.
I should add that as a player he was great, but that doesn’t always transfer to being a manager. The club made the right decision at the right time to let him go.

That's not good, is it?

Now, if we were only 6 points off 8th, that would be something to be cheered up about...

grey_til_I_dye

Seriously, in terms of form, for last 6 games we are 6th , and last 10 we are 8th, which I think shows just how much our form/results have improved under Moyes.

IronHerb

It's a case of if you want to believe or not.

You don't change divisions by finish 8th, G. You do by finishing 18th though.
Would be wrong to be complacent and assume we're safe

grey_til_I_dye

Not sure anyone has 'assumed' we are safe.

I was simply offering the other view; our glass can be seen as half full or half empty, as one chooses to look at it.

When Slav left, we were still only 6 points off 8th, but 1 point from 17th, and in the bottom 3.

In 11 games we had collected 9 points, with a -12 GD

In 12 games Moyes has taken 16 points with a 0 GD

I think we can all agree there has been a significant improvement.

Bazshuayi

I'll go on record as one who assumes we are safe (I now think there are at least 3 teams worse than us and at least 3 who will continue to do worse than us). ;wahoo If you'd have asked me a few games back, I wouldn't have formed that opinion yet....

chicagohammer

I agree that I believe we will be safe for the same reasons that Baz mentioned above, however I think that WHU have at least one more scare up their sleeve that will worry me before this season is out.

Big sams 1000th league game tomorrow, the games most decorated manager sir Alex says what makes him a top manager is his ability to get results for what’s at his disposal, ah well what do we know ;whistle

Watford sack there manager now as well

SuzanneClaret

Watford sack Marco Silva

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Wow ;lol

OldCastleSwift

;hmm

He was reportedly our No1 target when we binned off Slav.

Can't see him getting a job in the PL before the summer.

I wonder...

jay_in_cpt

And without naming Everton they saying the distraction became too much etc, they were supposedly offered many millions by Everton , perhaps they should have taken it then...

Lukerz

Makes you wonder who Watford think they are

MrsGrey

Watford owners have always been basket cases when it comes to managers...

Since they took over (2012, in the summer) when Dyche was manager, they have had 8 managers. That's 8 managers in 5 and a half seasons.
