However you can't just say that Payet coached himself, if so why wasn't he top four the previous 10 years?
Payet saw through some of the stuff at the club and unfortunately created a personal situation which meant he had to go back
Newcastle - got battered
Southampton - spirited performance going down to 10
Huddersfield - poor game but maybe scrapped through the win
West Brom - as usual one of the worst games of the season
Spurs - got played off the park until the sending off. (basically needed Spurs to do something stupid to be bothered to do something in the game ourselves)
Swansea - poor again.
The Mirror says that Bilic will be given until the end of the season to prove he deserves a new contract which fits with S&G's profile
Saints, Huddersfield and Spurs performances were acceptable enough, WBA didn't even want to win at home, you can't level that type of attitude at us, no matter how much you think we should change the manager.
For the first 25 against Spurs we were fine, the injury and change didn't help us
In France
Payet made a big difference to us, but a lot of people had individually outstanding seasons that year.
Payet as such would be a argument for yes he can, but then I think that he was just a rare top 4 talent, a Di Canio type who you just played and let him get on with it.
When I look at our attackers in general I haven't seen it.
Antonio has stepped forward but it was like Bilic stumbled over him and was forced to play him due to injuries.
We had forward players come and go, we have players currently on the books who are standing still or going backwards.
;hmm
Bilic is a very good man manager, in that players like him and he gives them confidence.
That's what I think Payet meant by saying Bilic was very involved.
Whether Bilic was tactically very good that season, in terms of getting the best out of players, I'm not sure.
Bilic himself has said that when Payet was in the team, he lifted the performance of everyone else.
So, how much of a factor tactics were in the season we did well is up for debate.
Everton look lost without their best player.
We only lost Payet in January. It takes time.
A team get used to a certain outlet to get goals and finding a new way isn’t easy,
Personally I think Bilic will have a good season and then walk, thanks to our owners and fans.
Not the first time and doubt it will be the last - it is a habit we have had with all our owners back to the sixties. As soon as they need to put their hands in their pockets to a large degree to improve the team and move us on a big step they shy away, only difference is that in the past we used to sell our best players to line their pockets.
West Ham are due to a few failings that are well documented where?
I think I know where I would rather be if you are looking for some ambition. Didn't like the way he went about things but I believe he was right to go back to Marseille. ;ok
14m net spend all they are doing is just keeping us in the premier league for the next 4 years then they will cash in , i have never understood with our fantastic fan base and the new ground why we have not been sold to a billionaire who wants to
make the club another chelsea / man city .
I too dont agree with Payet but when you see Zaza and calleri coming in i suppose
you can't see the next level after the move to the ground he was promised .
I've said it often enough, it is always easy blasting someone for not spending enough, after all it isn't your own money. Same with team selection. It isn't your job on the line.
He simply came to us at the wrong time in his life. He has admitted that the issue was with hm and not the club.
Now IF Payet said that he left because we didn't match his intent then either that is not true, as at the time he claims he made up his mind there was no way to know it wouldn't work out or he is disrespecting a lot of countries by claiming their internationals are useless since buying them doesn't show any intent.
There are millions of people every weekend who think they could do a better job than their team's manager. But the truth is that in a league of 20 teams there needs to be someone at the top and there need to be three teams at the bottom. And while nobody wants their team to be one of these three teams it is not our jobs who are on the line.
I think it isn't fair to complain about owners not pumping more of their hard earned cash into the club. Finances are a lot more complicated than just "net spend of X in half a year". PSG will be calculating the cost of signing Neymar over the time of his contract. If that was 5 years (I can't quite remember atm) then that would mean that in 2017/18 they spent some 45m Euros on him. Doesn't sound half as dramatic as 222m, doesn't it? And don't forget that this sum usually includes flexible bonuses. So in fact it might be only 30m.
