Fonseca - never managed in Pl.
Pellegrini - linked with Sevilla and will surely choose them over us if they want him.
Benitez - will need >£6m to get him out of his Newcastle contract
Silva - available immediately but likely to pick Everton in a 2 horse race
Wagner - surely will want to stay with Huddersfield
Dyche - will he give up managing Burnley in the EL next year
None of that fills me with much optimism.
I never wanted Moyes and am
Happy to see him gone.
I thank him for doing the job needed and wish him well in
His future, apart from if he is
Playing us....
I never thought he was a fit for us, but was is.
IMO it's been public knowledge before even Bilic that Rafa was quoted as being the preferred choice, so it should be all out to get him.
If they don't succeed with him they will need to go out and prove their doubters wrong & bring in someone that can inspire us the fans & motivate the team.
I'm not sad to see Moyes go, come on The 2 Dave's and bring us someone we can all be happy/ proud of...

I’m giving quotes from people as to why and how
Of course we’re all able to choose to believe what we want
;ok
Now we are stepping into the unknown, and I don't necessarily trust this board to pick out this new 'exciting' quantity they've mentioned.
Benitez is the best choice for me now, as he has done very well at a club with similar resources and quality of players in Newcastle.
Pellegrini would be a big risk, as I'm not sure we have the players/resources to play in the way he tries to play.
Emery and Fonesca are shots in the dark. We have no idea how they'll cope in this league, and our squad is pretty limited compared to what they're used to.
I'm not feeling all that good at the moment.
I think Moyes had us moving in the right direction but fear now that this summer is going to be a disaster and we will end up with number 20 on their list or will give the job to the only applicant willing to work with them.
Another one off the list?
DG showed the clubs hand when he hoped he would stay.
The club will never admit that he rejected them and rightly so.
Feel we are in real danger of one step forward 5 steps back.
The Sun https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/6291447/west-ham-not-follow-interest-manuel-pellegrini-david-moyes-leave/ said yesterday that we wouldn't be following up with Pellegrini as (in their version) he's too old.
I wouldn't be so sure
There have been polls yes, some pushed by the board and others by large forums.
Personally I think Moyes has played a part in not taking it any further, he’s seen what they can be like and doesn’t like what he sees, but it could’ve been mutual
I'm still relieved Moyes has gone, however he left .
It's a time to think positive rather than look back IMO
They appear to have accepted that he was brought in as an emergency appointment, where due diligence by us wasn't taken because we needed somebody to replace Bilic who was available to start asap. They have not been swayed by a few good results at the end of the season against sides with nothing to play for. They obviously feel Moyes is not the right fit for WHU.
It is one of their first brave calls, however, I think of all the criticism of the owners, managerial appointments is not one I would say they get wrong. Since the disaster of Grant, they have appointed Sam, Bilic and Moyes, and all in their own rights have brought the club huge success. None of them have seen us relegated, all were correct appointments 'at the time' and all were relative successes. Sam rescued us from two years of failure, and gained instant promotion. Bilic gave us one of the most magical seasons in our recent history, yet they were correct to replace him when the time was right, and replaced him with somebody who kept us up with a top 10 points haul/to games played.
This is a chance to start afresh. All the criticisms I have laid at their door; investment, decisiveness, short-termism; they now have a chance to put down a marker. They have not accepted second best, and taken Moyes because it's sensible. They have accepted he isn't right, and they have taken the risk in finding somebody who is. Hopefully it is a risk that will pay off. The correct appointment, good investment and a positive future.
Thank you for your efforts David. You used us and we used you. I don't think it was meant to be anything more than a fling. He did a good job, with some lows as well as highs, but this is the time to find the right fit for the club, not somebody who is the right fit for the circumstances.
