Following the news that West Ham United managerial target, Unai Emery, has signed a two year extension to remain Sevilla manager, Slaven Bilic appears to be the 'last man standing'. Quite how Bilic feels about having to wait as all the other high profile targets have rejected the post before being included in the frame himself is a matter of some conjecture, but suddenly, apparently, there are TWO other 'high' profile contenders on the agenda! But what does "high profile' mean? Do they do class 'A's at a lap dancing joint called the Agenda? Or are they the figment of a PR spin?

Here is a cross amalgam of betting odds for the next permanent West Ham United manager, interestingly David Moyes is still there in fourth despite claiming he is happy in Spain, which is of course where the two Davids currently are!!
Slaven Bilic 4/6 Unai Emery 8/1 Marcelo Bielsa 8/1 David Moyes 10/1 Eddie Howe 10/1 Steve McClaren 18/1 Roberto Di Matteo 20/1 Sean Dyche 20/1 Frank de Boer 20/1 Andre Villas Boas 25/1 Carlo Ancelotti 25/1 Paul Clement 25/1

Having had more come backs than Status Quo, www.westhamfans.org really is back. Leaner, meaner and on a new secure server with much greater speed and capacity, the site can now finally return to being the best West Ham forum in the world!
The Org will be developed over the coming weeks, just in time for the beginning of the Europa League competition.
Know an Orger? Let them know that their disfunctional rag tag family is back, you know it makes sense - Ed

As you are aware we have been having extremely slow site speeds and an abundance of issues with the site, but I am pleased to announce that will come to an end this weekend! This Sunday at 4pm GMT, we will be performing several software updates and moving our servers. The move to the new server is required in order to keep The Org secure and up-to-date. We may be momentarily unavailable around the time of switch over.

I will post updates here as needed.

Once again I would like to say thank you to the Orgers for your on going support of the site.

As fair play qualifiers Hammers will have to play their first match on July 2nd, in order to enter the competition 'proper' they will have to play a further three matches.

Following Sam Allardyce's rather strange press conference where he likened himself to Harry Houdini, there appears to be little doubt that he is a managerial 'dead man walking'. Much has been written about the current West Ham manager's style of play and questionable player recruitment, but the fact is that he has done the job he was asked to do.
