Hi ed2,
Hope you’ve had a good Xmas. Wondered if you had any insight into targets for Pellegrini replacement please?
Thanks in advance.
{Ed002's Note - It will be David Moyes I would think - but I understand that Rafa Benitez was the clear first choice.}

It don't matter who is new manager our club had the soul ripped away from us by dgs and until they go nothing will change . If its moyes i'm done. Our club died when the boleyn died.
2.) 29 Dec 2019 11:03:37
You need to get over the Boleyn, ground could not be upgraded and was knackered!
Fantastic atmosphere but we still regularly got beat there and relegated, Moyes did a job for us last time and installed discipline which is what we need now!
Pellegrini was there for £££, team is unfit and I would love to of seen training sessions if there were any.
3.) 29 Dec 2019 11:55:48
Thanks Ed2,
To be clear, did Benitez turn down an approach or is he just not available at this time?
{Ed002's Note - He is not available.}
4.) 29 Dec 2019 12:30:06
Get over the boleyn ground? Yeah right after going there for 60 years.
5.) 29 Dec 2019 16:29:55
Who wants to live in the same place for 60 years? We have to move onðŸ‘.
6.) 29 Dec 2019 16:45:46
It’s Moyes and Stuart and Pearce, I ain’t unhappy, COYI, at least they’re in touch with the Premiership hopefully⚒⚒COYI.
7.) 30 Dec 2019 08:10:47
Moyes will be a safe pair of hands who will get discipline back, obviously something Antonio requires. Papers saying Girond is his target for January, which will help Lanzini, Anderson, Antonio due to his hold up play, plus he’ll be better than Haller.
8.) 30 Dec 2019 08:32:00
Let’s face it, you know the players will have to put 100% in training especially with Pearce there, he’s not going to be messed about by babies!
He should demonstrate a few challenges himself on the players so they know what he’s expecting!
Now is the time to start bringing a couple of youth players in, Noble, and snodgrass haven’t got the legs anymore, as for Yarmolenko I would try and give him away as cannot see any takers for him, hope I’m proved wrong but IMO he is a luxury 10 min player who we do not need in team or the club. COYI.

Haller is a simple one to improve, play 2 or 3 upfront!
His goals have come when being supported up top, one striker against 4 defenders is not going to result in goals and also knock confidence.
Sign Giroud who can hold the ball and bring Anderson or Antonio into the attack and he will score goals!
Our biggest concern is a box to box midfielder, noble and snodgrass not upto that so bring one in to let rice move forward!
Central defence is another we are desperately short, we needed a Cahill in summer when he was available, would of been perfect to play alongside Diop so he could learn, I would try Reid for next few games as he was good in his time and others could still learn from him. Diop needs discipline and learn not to dive into tackles or move out of position and leave us short.
My team:
Fabianski
Diop, Reid, Ogbonna
Masuaku, rice, Anderson, Lanzini, Fredericks
Antonio, haller.

Bonzo. I read in this site dozens of times that our owners DGS are parasites and never out their hands into their pockets. The last two seasons have proved this criticism untrue. How soon we forget that our club was on the brink of absolute disaster under the ownership of the Icelandic’s and DGS saved our club. We are lucky to have a club at all. I’m firmly behind DGS and also the move to the London stadium which will help put our club on firmer ground. 35,000 people doesn’t cut it I’m afraid and the fact that we are now getting 20,000 more has and will continue to help us finance better players. The truth is, some people are more happy whinging than supporting. Simple as that.

Liverpool fan in peace. My wife and all her family are hammers so they’ve become my secondary club that I take an interest in.
Wondered if anyone had any insight or opinion into Johnny Heitinga who’s joined our coaching staff from yours?
Hope the season goes well for you!
1.) 20 Jul 2024 09:37:23
Hi.
All the West Ham players loved him and his training sessions. He got on well with everyone. It was a shame he left.
28 Dec 2019 21:27:33
Seen people clamouring for Eddie Howe.
He had NOT done a good job at Bournemouth. Every year they go backwards and he’s actually spent a lot of money on the sly there with little improvement from the players he’s bought.
25mil on Dominic solanke
15mil on Jordan Ibe
20mil on Nathan Ake
25mil on David Brookes (ok he looks a real talent)
My shout would be Rafa Benitez, he will organise the defence and be able attract a good calibre of player. He worked miracles at Newcastle with very little to spend.
Unrealistic choice would be Poch but really can’t see that happening.
1.) 28 Dec 2019 21:42:46
Dyche for me, if not Harry until end of season and then get Rafa.
2.) 28 Dec 2019 22:04:12
Moyes hopefully will steady the ship, there needs to be discipline installed and a proper few weeks hard training, we always look knackered after 60 mins.
I’m sorry but we need energy, out with noble, snodgrass, yarmalenko. Get some youth in the first team.
3.) 28 Dec 2019 22:59:14
So it looks like Moyes is returning, really?
Arnt we supposed to be moving forward,
How does getting Moyes back improve us,
He was awful before, so wats going to be different
Unless he’s the only mug that will work for
those 3 idiots, and because he’s cheap.
4.) 29 Dec 2019 01:01:38
Please not MOYES.
5.) 29 Dec 2019 03:59:36
Were we not in same position before and got us to 13th? I would take that at this time.
Forget all this West Ham way football, it’s not happened in last 30 odd years, we need to grind out results, spend a few years rebuilding from the bottom up!
Get an experienced manager with a young manager from lower leagues working alongside him ready to take over and carry it on.
24 Jun 2025 19:01:45
How many 90min games have you watched of Genoa’s out of interest?
24 Jun 2025 19:00:42
Pretty sure Sancho is on 325k a week.
He’s also not great with an even poorer attitude.
Scatter gun Chelsea literally paid Utd 5mil NOT to sign him.
Steer clear
22 Feb 2025 17:43:10
Ramsdale is pants in my opinion. He makes easy saves look fantastic and then gives himself a big pat on the back. He overrates himself massively.
Kelleher at Liverpool would be a wise option
16 Feb 2025 19:01:25
Joyful mate, no issue with you thinking mass changes are needed (they are in most instances) . I just think you’re going over the top to say WHU are in a relegation fight when the other teams are so much worse.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, if you look at Potter’s teams historically they take at least a season to truly adapt to his tactics.
I do think there’s a fantastic nucleus there for a team (Kudus, Paqueta, Bowen, Summerville, AWB, Ferguson) .
Patience is needed, result wasn’t good but 2nd half performance much more like it and the signs off proper football are there in glimpses
16 Feb 2025 09:35:20
Sorry mate but that is absolute rubbish. No better, just a 10 point gap? That is a massive gap for the bottom 3 to make up. The bottom 3 have 9 wins this season between them to West Ham’s 7.
It’s pure guesswork what he’s going to say in that meeting, but I doubt he’s going to ask for half the squad to be turned over (that’s just you projecting what you’d like to happen) .
12 Apr 2025 20:13:38
Liverpool who have lost 2 games in the league out of 31 are beatable? Technically everyone in the league is beatable but the probability at anfield is slim based on both teams form this season is slim at best.
05 Apr 2025 18:45:21
Well at least you’ve been patient Tin ?
Bloody hell, Potter will get this team playing great football and that takes time and bringing the right players in.
If you can’t see glimpses of what can be you’re either stubborn or blind
27 Mar 2025 06:03:59
Well despite it being only one game, it also happens to be 50% of the games he’s managed so far and his 2nd one in charge. So the stats (so far) disprove the rumour.
It’s exactly that as well, a rumour so let’s maybe wait and see before slagging him off about it?
01 Mar 2025 10:37:30
Jesus lads! You need to remember how bad things were under Lop before moaning about a win being a bit boring, baby steps and Rome wasn’t built in a day etc.
A bit unfair on Ferguson, he’s not played a great deal of football lately so it’ll take a while for him to get back up to speed, far too early to judge
22 Feb 2025 17:46:35
Didn’t Moyes win against Arsenal last year as well?
I totally get he wasn’t the right man moving forward, but the disrespect he gets for he actually achieved is wild.
The team had outgrown him and his football style was a hard watch, but his success in Europe were good days.
Everton aren’t exactly doing too shabby right now are they?
