Times reporting if West Ham lose to Forrest Moyes will be sacked. Wonder who they get in.

Think they’ll bet Forest at home tbh.

I think he needs to be given time. Been absolutely mad what's going on at Chelsea.

In that our fans ae as fickile as Clelsea's and would never give him time to succeed yeah. Dyche is about the right fit.

No one really gets the time nowadays to dismantle and rebuild. If you take a team up you might get a bit more leniency. Other than that you have to be better than the bloke who came before.

Granted the owner has made things ten times worse, Todd must have bought the Farhard Moshiri book on how to successfully run a football club and thought he'd follow that to the max on steroids.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out. Some good people have been hired between Potter and the mad owner, and so far there are no signs he's planning to pull the trigger. But he needs some wins soon

Black Swan event that was.

Even a knackered and disillusioned Chelsea team created enough clear chances to win that game 8-1.

S'ton are dire and will be relegated. Almost literally a one man team.

Worrying in a way.

We would never go to Stamford Bridge (or any of the big sides away) and get a win

As with Lampard once you get into “win the next game or get sacked” territory you might as well just sack them there and then.

As a relatively new PL fan from the states, these "If he doesn't beat X then he's getting sacked," rumors are wild. I can't imagine that in the US-- once you're at that point you might as well sack the guy.

I guess the key difference here is that with US sports, once the season is lost, you might as well start making changes and thinking about next year. With the PL, you still have to go out and keep playing to avoid relegation.

We also have idiots in charge of our clubs, you mustn’t disregard that as a factor.

Me and you both. But we were still a minority until Brighton.

It always frustrates me this arbitrary line in the sand , what if they’re awful but sneak a win against the run of play ? Then it’s ok but not if they are excellent , really unlucky and robbed by a world class goalkeeping display and VAR . If they do win but lose to brighton and Villa then had he gone ?

I agree with you , if the board are there then just pull the trigger .

Exactly, if you’re giving that ultimatum it’s because they’re doing a bad job, and if you think that just sack them. If he beats Forest is he doing a good job now?

Pretty sure he’d have gone if he’d not beat us when they did, and here he is back in the same territory. No point keeping a manager circling the drain like that, they’ll lose one eventually. Either back them no matter what or sack them right away.

I’m surprised he’s still employed.

That’s the beauty of it. American sports will throw their season away to get a high draft pick. All games are important in the EPL

I think they might find it slightly easier to get someone in than Saints and Leeds.

West Ham have a good squad, they should be doing much better - I don't see them going down.
