The Mirror reckons Bielsa wants in at West Ham... Wouldn't believe a word I read in that rag, but what would people think about him coming here? I see one poster did vote for him.

Can we all be one now ?
Forums:
There are no rights and no wrongs regarding Sam Allardyce everyone has an opinion and they are all valid depending on ones view point, lets just draw a line and stop all the fractious moaning because the division amongst Fans and even Friends and family on the issue of the now x manager was seriously becoming ridiculous tiresome and in some cases childish, but worse than that Negative for our beloved football club .
I remember seeing a family member at a wedding two years ago and I had not seen him for a few years and he is an avid Hammers fan goes to every single game very solid season ticket geeze, and I said to him "hey what do you think of Allardyce", now what I expected from him was a rant and rave about how useless and pathetic he was, but he actually said " He is just what we need great manager " I just nodded my head smiled and thought 'bloody hell i did not expect that' , but it proves to me anyway that we all have differing opinions I did not think any less of him, such is life some want more some are not too greedy, whatever ! .
Can we all now just get back to supporting West Ham Utd no more silly moaning, I too have done my fair share of having a go about Big Sam yesterday was the final few, NO MORE !, and I do not have one shred of arrogance about what has happened I wish him well, more Importantly I wish West Ham Well very very well Please God, and I am sure every one of us will say an Amen to that .
Manager Search Continues....
Forums:
Some key factors to consider:
1) Playing style........Attacking/pressing ,high tempo please
2) Successful CV......Plenty of experienced managers out there ,many who have won sweet F.A .Need someone who knows what it takes to build successful teams.
3) Temperment .......Need a manager who has good man-management skills,not someone who is known for falling out with players and causing an atmosphere in the club.
4) Transfer Success..Don't want a high spend thrift with little return,but a manager who can spot cheapish talent( this is Westham remember) and known for putting together successful sides
If you know anyone that fills the criteria let us know :)
Thank you and good luck Mr A

On behalf of the delinquent cretins amongst us in C&B glasses, just wanted to state my thanks to a decent manager.
Never my fave, you met every requirement asked and achieved stability with a yoyo club. No mean feat with our history.
But it seems mid table is not enough for our legions of expert analysts. Building blocks and long term progression are bad words these days.
Apparently out next boss will be creating fireworks and orgasms.
I fear our famous song will become reality again.
Promise not to laugh too hard if we self combust.
Are we going to play in Europe?

Is the stage set for Rafa Interim Benitez? Well I guess we may see some troffis if he does. As for the fat one, a relief for everyone involved himself included....
Slaven Bilic
Forums:
With Bilic confirmed as leaving his club and Sam confirmed as gone there has to be a possibility of Bilic being in the mix for new manager. Not sure what to think about him really. Good record with Croatia, nothing spectacular as a club manager, also don't see him as a big attraction for new signings either. I also don't see him as "one of ours"
He was a superb player for us but agitated to leave, wanting to go to the spuds before Everton met his release clause.
On the plus side, he is a really intelligent guy and hasn't had any real failure as a manager, he also does have the qualities of a leader.
I am interested as to whether people would be excited at the prospect of him becoming our manager?
SAM'S GONE!!!
Forums:
Sam Allardyce has left West Ham United.
Thanks for all you've done for us Sam and all the best for the future.
It will be interesting to see who replaces him. Would assume the club have someone coming in asap.

Just picked my seats at the Olympic Stadium.

Just picked my seats at the Olympic Stadium.
Had an appointment yesterday at the West Ham Reservation Centre at Westfield to pick where I want my season tickets to be in the new stadium. I am a Band 1 Season Ticket holder and currently sit on the 2nd row of the lower East on the half way line, so I wanted something similar at the OS.
I was amazed how many good seats have gone already. The bond holders have already had their pick, and Band 1 has been running since Tuesday/Wednesday and remember that all existing season ticket holders can add another 2 additional people. According to the "salesmen" taking our instructions sales are much, much better than expected at this stage.
Anyway, I have picked the East Stand again, which is going to be the largest stand of the 4 and will rise like a "kop" and hold over 21,000 people. I'm sure it's where the bulk of the noise is going to come from as the West stand is going to be very "corporate". I have not gone for the 2nd row because at the OS this means you looking at the players legs. The best views are at the back of the lower tier or the front of the 2nd tier. Unfortunately the club know this and have made these "1966" seats. This means they are cushioned and have your name stitched on them but are £1100 each - regardless of whether you are an adult, young adult or under-16. I go with my 2 sons so I wasn't going to be pay this 3 times. So anyway, I wanted to sit as near to these seats without paying the 1966 prices - which is what I have booked. I will now be in in the 15th row. It is still very difficult to truly judge what the view will be like from the computer virtual reality pictures. We will only really know for sure when we see it for the first time in person.
One nice bonus yesterday was that James Collins, Stewart Downing and Morgan Amalfitano were all there. Spoke to them very briefly and shook their hands. (They are always much skinnier than you think when you meet them, aren't they? Not an ounce of fat on any of them.) Downing insists that they are really geared up for Newcastle on Sunday!
