So, since moving to the OS, batterings have included:
West Ham 2-4 Watford West Ham 0-3 Saints West Ham 1-5 Arsenal West Ham 0-5 Man City (FAC) West Ham 0-4 Man City West Ham 0-4 Liverpool West Ham 0-3 Brighton West Ham 1-4 Liverpool
32 goals conceded in those 8 games alone.
Wins at the OS:
West Ham 1-0 Bournemouth West Ham 1-0 Accrington Stanley (LC) West Ham 1-0 Sunderland West Ham 2-1 Chelsea (LC) West Ham 1-0 Burnley West Ham 1-0 Hull West Ham 3-0 Palace West Ham 1-0 Swansea West Ham 1-0 Spurs West Ham 2-0 Huddersfield West Ham 3-0 Bolton (LC) West Ham 1-0 Swansea
Two league wins by 2 or more goals, with all the rest by one goal.
Plus not to mention all the narrow home defeats (0-2 or less) and draws, as well as all the other away defeats. Just isn’t good enough.
Posted this in the match thread but probably should have done it here:
Whilst I agree that I do not really want Moyes as our manager, seriously what better/bigger managers would touch us at the moment? Again, I'm not the biggest fan of the Dave's but they can't get who won't come.
What manager would you suggest if we sack Billic Lukerz? Same question to others too, because I cannot think of an ambitious, ball playing, respected manager who I believe would join us in our current situation?
Relax I have just worked it out......... who makes us least likely to get relegated ? big Sam, but as the fans would see it as a backward step the board need soften them up so have created a story of Moyes, then upped it another level by including Neville to make us actually happy we get Sam.
Moyes on the other hand would come in, immediately declare that the squad is rubbish, not ask for any money to get in more players, and then relegate us. Job done.
I think we have good players and a big stadium. We’re playing terribly but Koeman would be lucky to get a better squad with better long-term prospects than us, IMO.
Sweepy , all that is true and pre-season makes us a good 'project' and an attractive job. However right now we are mid season and potential relegation candidates and that changes things drastically, with players who aren't looking good. Managers fear their reputation being damaged (look at what happened with Koeman) and wouldn't want to touch us at this moment in time when we are in this situation.
But the thing is, if you're out of work as a manager, you rarely get to take a job with a club in great shape, on and off the pitch. Otherwise, why would that club even be looking for a new manager?
I'm sure somebody like Koeman would look at our potential rather than our current form, and believe in himself to improve us.
For me, the only reasons Bilic did well his first season was that he had the defensive base already in place from BFS, plus Payet. Once he had a chance to change the mentality of the players to his tactics and lost Payet we have seen the true Bilic team and tactics, which has been poor to say the least.
There could be a few International managers available after the 14th of November so we might be able to attract one of those say Martin O'Neill or Michael O'Neill if they fail to qualify or even Chris Coleman as Wales aren't going to Russia?
How long did it take Sunderland to sack Simon Grayson during the week? i believe it was reported to be 5 minutes!
We desperately need to do something soon. It appears the Spurs win has just delayed his departure?
Probably needs to go, hate to say it because really wanted him to be a success, walk away Slav, thanks for the last season at the Boleyn where everyone was on your side
No need for abuse to a man who has acted with the utmost class. Shame to see some of our fans go that way but that’s football for ya

Anything to avoid getting their money out.

We are falling for their master plan.

Top 20 in terms of revenue
60,000 seater stadium
How hard can it be
I'm sure somebody like Koeman would look at our potential rather than our current form, and believe in himself to improve us.
(And thanks for answering the question).
Personally I don't think he would join us. We are looking pretty awful at the moment and I think he would see us as too big a risk.
I'd rather our chairmen left first and then Bilic tbh

The next six games don't look too clever do they?
