Welcome Boss ;clap
Really excited (tad nervous) about this
Hes a winner and its important he brings that mentality here...would love a good cup run
Biggest question for me is how we do with a back 4 which is his preffered line up
Lets hope the board back him and get the players he wants
Highest West Ham paid manager, good luck.
Of course most of us first became aware of Manuel Pellegrini when he became Manchester City boss.
He enjoyed the fifth highest win percentage in Premier League history during his three years in charge at the Etihad stadium, and signed Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Otamendi in 2015
He also led City to Premier League glory in 2013/14, becoming the first coach from outside of Europe to win the title, and also lifted the League Cup in the same season.
City finished that campaign having scored 151 goals in all competitions – still an English record.
Not bad eh!?
And damn sully is looking old
Pellegrini Out
;biggrin
Thought David Moyes did a good job with what he was given and the awful atmosphere surrounding the club.
# optimistic
However I'm happy with this appointment, as already said, let's hope he gets the backing now..
But a interesting choice and I look forward to see how it unfolds...
I'm sure he will bring in new players, but find the argument that without a big change in the squad he will do no better than recent managers concerning.
If he isn't capable of getting our current squad better organised, and playing well more consistently, then I don't see why he got the job.
Surely the idea is that he is a better coach than the likes of Moyes or Slav, not simply better provided he gets a fat wedge of money to buy better players?
I'd like to hope that even without additions, Pellegrini was good enough to get us to 10th+.
He needs properly backing though. Don’t want to see him being landed with Yaya and Nasri
I just hope he gets the funding for a DM (Dendonker, Carvalho ANO)/RB (no clue)/ and a back up striker if Hernandez goes. He likes to play a 4-2-2-2, so 2 up front looks a possibility, and he knows Rondon well, a cheeky punt ??
Reckon Lanzini is more likely to hang around under Pellegrini, too
So if every other squad the in PL expanded and brought in new players, you think with Zero additions (with Mario and Harts Loans ended) you think he could coach us to the top 10.
I think there is a reason why certain managers ask for transfer budgets and its not necessarily because their coaching skills are poor...
