Billic

In a different chat someone asked what I thought of Billic as a replacement for BFS. Wow, I always back our managers to the end, I even remember feeling uncomfortable when Lyall out was echoing round the Boleyn. I finally lost faith in BFS when he played our full squad the other night against Southampton for a fruitless point instead of a place in the cup against WBA. I was shocked by his mindset. Roeder, Zola, Grant, will Billic join that list, is BFS better the devil you know?

As you seem to know that Reid has already signed for the spuds and in doing so should not be played for being a 'traitor'. I disagree as we should use our best eleven no matter what and if we did as you say, this would impact our final position that could cost us £1m per place. In additon, we would continue to pay his wages so with your opinion/view we may as well put him in a limo to North London now and commit financial suicide! I questioned you about Billic, but I haven't seen a clear answer yet so when I do I will let you know why.

I think some might take to him if Besiktas beat Liverpool in the return leg of the Europa Cup and go further possibly making the semi or final! His team are top of the League in Turkey and Croatia certainly came from obscurity to prominence when he took over the managers job!
SUGO have sounded him out and we do need a change at West Ham next year! I am not the only one fed up with Allardyce's style of football, the fans don't like it and neither do SUGO!
I think the only thing that will save Allardyce now is not playing Nolan and playing with two front men as he did today against Spurs! and it goes without saying! a good run and a Europa League place next year!

But that's a rare commodity these days so maybe I shouldn't be too quick to turn him away.

I used to be an advocate for Sam but I'd just about had enough midway through last season. This season was going well and I think everybody could see an exciting new shape and regular quality football being played. Then Nolan and Carrol were put back in the team and the wheels fell off. Today's result against spuds without them both got us back to being a threat but I know if know Carrol were to magically be fit again both of them would be first names on the team sheet. Sam is good for getting a team promoted from the Championship and good at keeping a team up but not so much when it it comes to real progress because that is less of a percentage game. Time to go Sam.

I think loyalty and football is an overly sentimental concept in today's game. He left us to go to a bigger club in his eyes. He was from Croatia, not a local lad who grew up around the club, what do we really except? TC did the same move and we still love the bloke. I don't really get the issue. Are we saying that because as a player he chose another team over us 20 years ago, that he won't make a good West Ham manager? Let's say he does come and then leaves after a few years for a top European job, that would have meant he was a success for us, wouldn't it?
