IronHerb

Gary O'Neil said on Talksport last night that Benitez has a £20m buyout clause in his contract.

I wish

Hamstew

He's be a fool to come back to us though.

jay_in_cpt

Adam, I can only speak for myself, but IMO i'd have him back today rather than our current manager. :ok:

Hamstew

I'd love him back. But he'd be stupid to come back imo.

grey_til_I_dye

Sorry, but I was one of the very last on here to accept it was time for Bilic to go, but when he did it really was time. The clamour for his dismissal was deafening, and it was obvious that he had lost his mojo.

I don't get this revisionist history.

Hamstew

So managers can't lean and improve with experience? Some people would have Moyes back in a heartbeat even big Sam. Me I'd have Bilic back 100%

jay_in_cpt

Agree with Ham here, all managers can evolve, so while many wanted Bilic gone I was not one of them, but Grey fair do's , you might have been one of the last to wanted him gone, I never wanted him gone & certainly was not impressed with the Moyes appointment, but I'd accept Bilic back today, IMO far superior to the dinosaur we currently have.

Hamstew

Bilic had to deal with a lot. We had an incredible last season at the Boleyn. But then had the whole Payet situation. He also had to deal with moving to a shambles of a stadium which the majority of fans were against. I wouldn't say his time in charge at the end was a very normal situation.

I’d have Sam back knows how to make a team good in defence and with limited resources kept us in the prem imagine at the time with money to spend he would have us creative and hard to beat like his Bolton teams just as people on here are now asking for just saying

baracks_a_hammer

On more than one occasion in his managerial career Bilic has come unstuck after a good start - even before he joined us. Be interesting to see how he fares if West Brom go up.

Things started ravelling for him even before the payet situation unfolded. But then again he was given the likes of Calleri. But he didn’t have us properly prepared (season 2) for what was going to be a tough and early start to the season (with Europa included).

But overall he never did have us defending well and sooner or later that is going to catch up with you once you lose your attacking spark.

Seems like me & Hamstew are not alone :wahoo:

Hamstew

:wahoo:

baracks_a_hammer

I’d rather stick with Pelle rather than go back to either Slav or Moyes. Or for that matter if we ended up with Hughton

Bazshuayi

Shambilic to Slaviour :hmm:

Quote "Some West Ham United fans want Slaven Bilic, after praising the job he has done at West Bromwich Albion."

So that's jay and Ham.

Get me on that bandwagon #bringbackslav :wahoo:

#bringbackslav because if we are going to play like dross no matter who our manager is, I would at least like it to be a manager who has some personality.

Bazshuayi

and all that

bringing back your ex manager certainly worked out well for Watford

Is it really any different from bring in another failed manager from another failed tenure.

#bringbackslav because if we are never going to be able to defend properly ever again we may as well try and be jolly good at attacking
