The demise of Liverpool

As an aside from our own club, whats the thoughts on liverpool? personally i think they are in trouble (yes I enjoy seeing them in this way!). IMO they should have sacked rodgers, they had a terrible season and end up sacking two back room staff members as a lame 'excuse' for rodgers own failings. suarez left but he(or they) did not prepare for this, instead they wasted 100 odd million on players that are neither here nor there. gerrard is gone, sterling is going, and whats the news coming in? Milner….?? whaaaat? Milner and Henderson to boss their midfield next season….nice one. Balotelli was a disaster, sturridge is crocked….and rodgers remains in place. we here the excuses that he doesnt choose who comes in….really? he must at least give the final nod therefore he is still responsible as i can't see him allowing people to choose players for him and him having to take the blame. so all in all, it will be interesting to see what happens….i for one think with the availability of Klopp and Biesla and a couple of other top managers, this was the time to sack rodgers and start afresh ….

It's being said that Pedro Obiang, Spanish mid-fielder has signed and passed his medical. Highly rated by Sampdoria fans, apparently not unlike a younger version of Diame...

Bilic Signs Three Year Deal!

Slaven Bilic has signed a three year deal to become West Ham United's 15th manager, replacing the unpopular but efficient Sam Allardyce. Bilic will have to get up to speed quickly, with player acquisitions and the impending Europa League matches foremost on his mind.
46 year old Bilic played 55 times for Hammers between 1996 and 1997, scoring two goals, before spending three years at Everton.He managed Croatia for six years, beating England twice in the Euro 2008 qualifiers, and has been in charge at Lokomotiv Moscow and Besiktas. He is an intelligent man, a qualified lawyer, and a man used to working in a pressurised environment, however his appointment still represents a risk by Davids Sullivan and Gold.
Apparently part of the new manager's brief is to bring more youth team players through the ranks, his ability to work with young players was very much on display while he was managing Croatia, but the Barclay's Premier League will be a tough place to try and blend the balance of experience and youth.
Hammer's player recruitment will probably go into over drive following Bilic's appointment, and his Croat connection may well prove to be very fruitful.

So I was just thinking, I wonder if he has the drawing power to bring in decent players. Apparently he is rated pretty high in France which I know is not the Premier League but the other top managers rate him. If he does get the job would the 2Davids have the balls to put in a cheeky bid for Ibrohimovich or however you spell it. I see on another site that PSG only have 10 million on him so you never know.

Having witnessed a 90 mins of utter boredom from england should we not by the same argument for sam out get rid of hodgson? With so little competitive football for national teams anyway surely it should be a case of good football over result? Discuss.

How much do we need to spend for improvement

Now that we're in the market for a new manager I just wonder what sort of figures the owners are talking about for the new man to spend in the transfer market. Realistically we are no more than a midtable side that could still have a bad season and flirt with relegation so surely the aim, as we're trying to attract a top European manager, is to break into the top 6, in my opinion we are a million miles away from this with the current squad, we're basically looking to finish above the likes of Liverpool or Spurs, I would think we need half a dozen top players at least. With this in mind if the reported figure of £25 million pounds transfer kitty is true is this another case of the owners thinking that we're better equipped than we are, that we've been under achieving, I personally think our league position last season was about right, we had a very good start that gave us false hope but with the players we've got we're on a par with Swansea or Stoke so could this be a reason we are struggling to attract a decent manager, what's your thoughts?
