Man can't help himself.

OldCastleSwift

He is so infuriating ;lol

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

;lol

IronHerb

So, imo, it is almost certainly Rafa because of the 'left no stone unturned' comment but as Grey says why not just shut up and announce it when done.

I'm not reading anything into this, but I've just seen Mick McCarthy eating a saveloy outside the chippy near Sullivan's house.

Ex has tweeted "Si si", which suggests he believes it's Rafa.

But yeah, Sully just can't help himself, like Grey says. It's like a disease. I mean, he was literally in this position three years ago with Rafa and lost him at the last minute ;lol

I’ve just seen mick jagger does he mean the rolling stones

MrsGrey

Reminds me of when you challenge a kid to keep quiet for a minute and they swear they can do it.

.... 10 seconds

... 20 seconds

'Is that a minute?'

NO! It's 20 seconds! Now you have to start again.


'OK, I can do it, I can, this time!'

.... 10 seconds

.... 20 seconds (fidgets)

.... 30 seconds (squirms)

... 40 sec 'Am I allowed to just say one th-'

NO! YOU JUST CAN'T KEEP QUIET FOR A SINGLE MINUTE! AAARGH!!!

So Sullivan probably looked at some fans forum and decided to bin Moyes ? If that's how he is going to run things its not wonder we end up in such a mess. I just hope Rafa thinks he owes us something after last time and joins up and Dave put his hand in his pocket to fund things

Well he does personally ask a WHU news/forum site to conduct polls on various matters......

And that ladies and gentlemen is a FACT

That’ll do for me

Fortuneseeker

Anyone considered it could be Claudio Ranieri?

MrsGrey

It is understood that Moyes was dissatisfied with the money available for summer signings.

First time I've seen this angle mentioned. (Don't know how true it is... but is Benitez likely to have lower demands?)

It’s interesting to see what happens here, IF sully appointed Rafa and gave him the reputed £80m to spend on transfers he would have transformed the gloom around the club into ecstasy and in the process diverted away a lot of the continual jibes about the stadium and back towards what is going on on the pitch. I still don’t believe it will happen though - this is West Ham, it is always “almost”

Lukerz

Well can only be Rafa, Pellegrini or Wenger based on his comments today.

baracks_a_hammer

Wenger and his European record?? ;hmm

PrestonHammer

Mrs. Grey.

Maybe Sully doesn't trust Moyes with 80 million but does trust Rafa.

It’s not going to be Wenger. Why would it be?

jay_in_cpt

Rafa all the way IMO...
With Pellegrini and Ranieri as outsiders, but always believe it'll be Rafa ;ok

grey_til_I_dye

And it's not Pep...

Have a nasty feeling it could be Ranieri.

Pearces_Left_Foot

Maybe it’s all part of his master plan don’t spend much save for 2 years then bung it Rafa lol

Luke
I really think they are going to get their 1st choice in Rafa, so hope I'm right out of the mentioned ones...

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

I’ll be desperately disappointed if it’s Ranieri.

Yeoldhammer

Its no one, we have heard this line many a time before, "we are so close"...etc.. then something happens last minute as usual.

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

It’s all a bluff.....”Si Si” reported by ExWHU



Welcome Davide Moyesini

Just to clear this up and for not mentioning a source, one of the joint editors at a very well known WHU site told me this a long time back.

IronHerb

Are we getting Guy Fawkes as our new manager? Mind, if it all goes wrong we can put him on the bonfire in November.

IronHerb

We are relegated next season then Yeold?
