Craig Bellamy, Kieran Mckenna or Eddie Howe... Any one of them would be miles better than the fraud that is Nono.
Nono more Nuno.

I'll say it now, Staveley in.
At least someone with a vision & a want to change a club from top to bottom and get a modern manager in.
Someone that will dare to go at teams.
Kretinsky, by not even being there, is, I'm afraid, increasingly making himself unpopular & has equally presided over our decline.
He does the bare minimum.
We need someone in now that will revolutionise our whole set up & spirit.
Brentford smashed Spurs today.
Hull went at Man Utd.
No respect.... That's what I want to see at my club. For that reason, Staveley in now.

Sorry, Stevie, Scott Parker will be another re-run of the last 3 managers imo. I agree with Davva's choices, all good candidates.
I also agree with the Ruzz. Whilst Kretinsky is better than Sullivan, he has never done a thing to help us when he could have; he has been part of the bs roadshow, watching all the crap that has been going on, and done nothing. Ultimately, his first and most important decision was to hire Nuno, who, between them and the head of recruitment, have decided we want 10 players out, 5 players in, whilst carrying on with his failed tactics.
I know AS may be out for herself and is only interested in making money, but she knows football and how to build a rapport with the club and fans. If anybody thinks DK is not in it for himself, and ultimately the land that our ground occupies, then imo, you are deluded, because he has no interest for West Ham, only making money. Sadly like most owners of clubs.

He got Burnley promoted in his first season. The other names mentioned are all good candidates as well. Howe would be my choice, but would he come to a mid-table Championship team?

I think he might do if the money was right, and if there seems to be a plan or project which, under Kretinsky, we lack.

For me, Eddie Howe or Thomas Frank.

Thomas Frank has to be the shout. He and Koppen, please.

Thomas Frank, another defensive, pragmatic manager. No thanks.

Bellamy for me.

This one is very left-field, and might be timing due to the reformation we need at West Ham.
But Zsolt Low is very well respected in the game. His managerial experience is low, but he could be a gem.
Big gamble.

Howe or McKenna for me, although have a look at that bench yesterday. Pep would have struggled with that, and the attitude of some of the big-time Charlies we had on the pitch, who don't want to be there! These players have to take some blame and responsibility for this. They took us down and owe it to play their best and hardest to get us out of it. Nothing wrong with the tactics yesterday. The poor defending from a throw-in, leading to their early goal, changed everything. Taty/Peroe got in each other's way, Scarles got in Solomons' way, Bowen looked disinterested, Kante looked like he'd never passed a ball, and let's not even talk about KWP, Kilman and Mav, who collectively committed all the above crimes, and all this in front of 55,000 loyal fans...
I'm not particularly a Nuno fan, but blaming him in the main, when there were 8 on the pitch (the new lads did ok tbf) and recruitment has been slow, is very harsh. Oh, and add in the idiots who made themselves unavailable because their greedy agents think they deserve to play at a higher level and make them all more money: Alvarez, Todibo, Magassa, Diouf, Cornet - that means you! On a positive note, at least he didn't bring JWP on, though. ?

One small positive from yesterday was Mukasa. Dabber, your son was right about him, imo, he has quality written all over him. Just watching his movement, the way he held himself, and also trying to gee the crowd up. Hopefully it wasn't a one off, and we will see a lot more of him. Not surprising Citeh won't do an option or obligation to buy.
