i dont know about anyone else but i think this guy could well have been the worst manager in our history , i know , i know he took us back to the prem , he's kept us mid table , thing is right with the likes of say Roeder , everyone new he was a complete prat but with Sam its not like that, there area sizable minority that think he is good for this club , and so you have division and even animosity among fans , i'll tell you one thing , they'll be waiting in line to have him as a pundit next year , the muphets on motd , sky, bt , they'll be wanting all the juicy bits , all the dirt on west ham and how the poor old soul wasn't appreciated, and you know what ? he wont be slow bad mouthing us , old Liniker & Lauro will be foaming at the mouth , on the edge of their seats , can you imagine super prat limiker at the end of the interview turning to face the camera with that gobsmacked expression on his boat, it'll go something like this [" and there you are , big Sam , some would say what were west ham thinking , i would say he's better off out of there , a club that doesn't know when they've a good manager ?, well maybe they dont deserve a good manager "] never mind Sam Russel Brand still loves you

So Andre Villas-Boas has suddenly shot up in the bookies odds to be out next manager. How does everyone feel about that prospect?

I see that Teddy has joined my local team Stevenage as manager,I wish him well as he has taken over a good team.Reached the play off's this year but lost in extra time at Southend.I wish him well,first management post.

Let sam go after newcastle and appoint Dyche? Its been a debate all season, 'who would replace sam' if he goes. its been a good point. klopp and benitez i think its safe to say aren't interested, so thats them ruled out. looking at us as a club the potential quality of manager we can attract is debatable. looking at who would jump at the chance to manage us and the list gets smaller. I ruled out Dyche earlier because burnley didnt do a lot in all honesty, showed us some good matches here and there but difficult to judge his tactical ability due to the lack of quality in his team. looking at sam and his comments, its not what we want to hear. all he has to do is be honest and say you know what this year (since jan) its been very poor, i need to make some changes in the summer, bring in one or two blah blah. what we don't want to be hearing is that everything is fine and dandy etc. i've always said this is the right time to move on, to get a new man at the helm and someone who can stay with us for a good few years, building forwards. If we offered Dyche the job he would no doubt take it. he's not going to get a chance at anyone above us as i can't see any changes happening there. newcastle is not an attractive job either with the owner. so i'd say why not? he's youngish, has some fresh ideas, can motivate ….his 4-4-2 is a bit basic and may be found out but he has the appeal of being a rodgers type, likes to look for youth and sustainability. Anyone else think Dyche would be a decent choice all things considered and realistically looking at the options?
