    Could be 6-8 points off top 2 tonight & people talking about next season’s PL relegation battle. One step at a time.

    My tuppence worth is that I would have stuck with him until at least the end of the season, I think the squad is good enough and I have seen enough to believe that promotion is still on the table.

    If achieved we would be an attractive proposition and if someone obvious showed interest then by all means have a conversation, if we failed in our bid to go up then I suppose that a change would be inevitable but imo, we are along way away from that.

    All that aside, assuming that he is soon to be looking for a job, I would have endorsed an approach to Carrick, I think he did a great job at Middlesbrough and I do not judge him for the mess that is Man Utd.

    Tbf, whilst I did not expect Nuno to go this soon, I haven’t seen anything in our performances to bet good money we would go up this season

    That is what the board have judged it on

    The board made the biggest mistake this summer by rewarding failure with a new contract @Fortuneseeker pointed this out, we’re a few months late , but I firmly believe it’s the correct decision, albeit a strange time to do it, but IMO better late than never.
    IMHO NES’ will be considered a failure 👋👋

    One concern is that we have quite a few Spanish/Portuguese speaking players that Nuno could speak to as well as the English speakers. Will Parker be able to get his ideas over, is there someone who speaks those languages at West Ham?

    BND, The way he had some of the players playing he appeared to be talking double dutch to them =)

    Lots of comments about defensive Parker, but one season he won promotion for Burnley by attacking, so he could take that approach. Good to see Noble taking an active role again. Now we need Nolan back to give the players a kick up the proverbial during matches😉

    Parker's problem with Burnley last season was he wanted to play possession football with players who couldn't keep possession

    Good article on C&H discussing Parker's tactics during his previous stints in the Championship (and how Kante is not a natural no.10)

    Bubbles we have few players whose first language is English but a variety which might explain why on the pitch they don’t look as though they know each other for the first 30 minutes.

    So we have a new coach .....and the failure that NES was, is history......
  • SlackerSlacker
    As ever the new man will have my full backing.
    Until he draws a couple of games on the trot obvs.

    I'll cautiously hope for the best (and prepare for the worst)

    On a positive note we now have the Championship's most stylish manager to go in the Championship's biggest stadium

    I listened to a podcast featuring a football analyst from The Times this morning, and he said that some analysis he'd done showed that transitioning a style of play takes around 30 matches, based on all managers in the Premier League since it started. I wonder if he'll be afforded that time by the fans and the hierarchy.

    Alderz, on that metric, Nuno was failing.

    Has anyone mentioned him being 'one of our own' and understanding the 'West Ham way' yet?'
