Lopoteugi sacked. This is on the horizon. It's not a case of if but a certainty when. Now I don't mean eventually. I mean within a game or two. I feel it's very close. So when he's sent down the road. What will be his legacy. By that, I mean who would you compare him to?
He has to be up there with some of our worst managers in history!
A couple that spring to mind straight away are Lou Macari and Avram Grant. To liken him to a player would have to be Allan McKnight-mare and Roberto 2 Bob.
Simply up there with some of the biggest dross our club have employed.
You forgot Glenn Roeder
He was to nice of a guy really for management and how it badly affected his health but managing a football club especially one like ours should have a health warning all over it.
But i think Tim will go before Loppy does...its just a way the poison dwarf works as in lay the blame elsewhere as this mess has nothing to do with him
Didn't have a problem with Macari
Apart from that bit of history that West Ham always promoted from within. Had a good eye for players. Bought in Mad Dog Martin Allen, Bishop, Morley and arguably the best goalkeeper in Ludo we've had since Big Phil. Wasn't here long enough to judge his managerial skills but he did ok elsewhere.
Avram Grant really surprised me. I did have high hopes when we got him in. The only manager that really pissed me off when we bought him in was Curbishley. He's up there with Moyes for me.
Even Big Sam escapes criticism from me due to the fact he inherited absolute crap, had a brief which he delivered, and contrary to what some of you think, his football wasn't all bad towards the end.
