    Yeah, pleased for you.👏

    Quite a few fans will believe it’s the right decision although a few months late 👍.

    Slacker, WOW...I get no pleasure in a person losing their job, it's NOT about me, it's for the good of the club, even if I feel they have made the correct decision…But PLEASE don't make a club decision about me…Thanks. 👍🏻⚒️

    How has chopping and changing managers in the past few years turned out to be “ for the good of the club “?🤷🏻‍♂️

    I think you have hit the nail on the head, IMO he shouldn't have remained after failing his brief....So all the blame cannot lie with him, the board should have made this decision in the summer....
    Rewarding failure with a new contract, bad move.......

    In my humble opinion, the problem has rarely been that the manager doesn't understand the club culture, but that the board doesn't understand the club culture.

    Me, I never understood Culture Club.

    That would be a typical West Ham appointment & it would indicate the owners still haven't learnt from the decisions other clubs make like Brighton for example.

    Just watched a very honest and decent fan view on SSN, a man called Gary, think he echoed many, not all, but many of what fans thought of NES.....etc....

    Worst time for Parker-ball too. Coming into the Winter season, paying to see 0-0's freezing your backside off and muttering "why us."

    Zero point to moving Nuno on until we cleared the decks of the expensive messes that had happened previously.

    Did I believe Nuno was the right person for the job ? nope
    Do I believe Parker will be the right person for the job ? nope

    The club cannot move forward until the previous mistakes have been cleared up. Nuno was the perfect fall guy to use to actually get those players out, whilst shuffling him out the door at the same time once said job was done.

    Parker has a reputation for getting clubs promoted but exactly the same reputation for getting them relegated again.

    Parker has such a bad record in the PL, this is a strange move. Not sure what’s going to be different apart from some poetic post match interviews.

    Mind, he does wear nice cardigans.
  • stevesteve
    Don't think Parker is the answer .Would have stuck with Nuno ,,Still the club moved fast ..So guess time will tell
  • stevesteve
    5-30 AM here in Canada .And looks like we will be watching Parker ball .Going back to bed =)
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    I agree steve in that Parker isn't the answer long term but finding a better option than NES should be but I don't trust the owners to do that as when was the last time they actually went out and got a manager who was still in post?

    I'm certainly not saying I want Parker, however I'm not sure he was ever backed financially the way our managers have with his newly promoted teams, with perhaps Fulham the exception, just putting it out there....

    But he does seem to have a good record of getting teams out of the championship and that's what our immediate focus needs to be on.....Again, I'm not saying I want Parker!!

    Parker should have been appointed in the summer and this is the correct decision, at the correct time
  • stevesteve
    Can Parker sort out our defence if he can then we know we can score goals .However it wont be pretty .But most of the games under Nuno was not much fun .The goal is to get us out of the championship .So welcome home Scotty and get us out of here

    Beam us up Scotty 😁

    Maybe you can make an agreement to send him to Spurs if we get promoted and he can relegate them. He can put a transfer request in.

    I'm surprised by that as I saw it being appraised at Christmas before the window opens. I think most were happy with our league position and performances before the last two matches.

    I am also not sure about Parker for next season should we make it up, but he should be able to get the job done with these players if he gets a centre back in. I am happy Noble will be around as he is exactly the personality we need. We lack a strong Captain as we had last time in the Champo in Kevin Nolan and Noble may provide a bit of that now, even though he isn't on the pitch.

    I think Nuno could consider himself a little hard done by but that's football I guess.

    For the record I think that changing our manager right now is madness but it is what it is and assuming that the jungle drums are accurate and Scotty Parker is joining us…I will welcome him, will back him and wholeheartedly hope that he is successful.

    Let’s also hope that he is given some time and sticks around….he will be our fourth manager in less than two years and that is a trend that I certainly wish to see come to an end.

    Just seen this!

    Not sure what to think. We must go up, so I hope whoever comes in gets it right.
