Manuel Pellegrni’s D-Day looks set for January 1!
Defeat by Bournemouth would see him gone according to most I’m speaking to…and from inside the club comes the clear – if obvious message we received by e mail: “He is now under the most severe pressure possible.”
But – short of an absolute hammering by Leicester City tomorrow (Saturday) – the Chilean is set to cling on until New Year’s Day with a “Lose and you’re gone message” ringing in his ears.
But there’s another huge problem hanging over the club beyond all of that with the transfer window due to open in six days time and a near impotent manager in charge who has lost the board’s trust in the transfer market.
Whoever the board bring in will need to bring in his targets very quickly and should it be David Moyes we all know how slowly he reacted last time around.
In a word this is a “mess” and the reality is that the club should probably have made the decision to sack after the Burnley match to give themselves breathing space ahead of the January window.
A near Mission Impossible Mission victory over Leicester City and another over Bournemouth would be enough to see him limping on and, with managerial candidates as thin on the ground as it gets, the Irons are certainly in the worst kind of bother.
If the board have lost trust in him why has he not been sacked. The board should have acted a while back. What a mess. No forward thinking at all. I’d actually rather have Steve Potts or Kevin Keen in charge for a few games.
The continuing procrastination is just making the descent into the Championship more of a certainty.
Forget how much money it may cost you. Grow a pair and pull the trigger NOW……. for everybody’s sake!
So it would be a good business decision to get rid sooner and get a manager in and give him a window and a week to access the squad. Wouldn’t it? If you were competant businessmen you’d do that right? Right???
Are you having a laugh?
It’s obvious the board are doing anything but wanting to pay out the compensation to pellegrini.
Every time we win a game the board are going to give him more time and i can see this going on all season.
Owners / board have dug a huge hole for themselves… You reap what you sow…. Championship looms large…
No sympathy for them anymore… Feelings of anger are mounting… Expect “demonstrations” soon or a vote of no feet at next few games as I feel West Ham supporters have been lead up the garden path for far too long… Watch this space…!!!
COYI.
Hugh after the Burnley game probably 90%of us had had enough of MP but where are we now further down in the mire and what has DG+DS about it =SWEET FANNY ADAMS and they claim to be life long supporters and fans of OUR CLUB ..I find it very hard to find any creditability in that at all ..My Brummie pal said you are done fore under that two and a half..give it ten years and see how you look then..pretty much bang on to his prediction imoh.
We have all been saying it since teh beginning of the season – what we need is some energy in midfield whether we call it a DM or a box to box midfielder, it doesnt matter
Pelle has sold Kouyate, Fernandes and Obiang and failed to buy a replacement
Whoever comes in will have to deal with that. I was a Moyes supporter last time but agree that he was indecisive in the transfer window – I am not sure whether or not he actually had the opportunity of signing Dendonker
Before a torrent of abuse gets unleashed I’ll start with the preamble – BFS pretty much destroyed my love for West Ham while he was there – but one thing about him, when he saw what was needed for survival he just went out and got it (Sunderland and then getting Sakho for Palace). So we need someone who can organise us defensively and can also be decisive in the transfer market. Teams who continuously flirt with relegation usually eventually get relegated (Swansea, Sunderland, Wigan to give three examples)
For Heaven’s sake this is no way to run a football club!! Judging a manager one result at a time. People always say you can’t judge a manager on one bad result. Agreed, but the same apllies to good results. In the unlikely event that we beat Leicester this will be because they have played more football in the last ten days & had a couple of thrashings, not because Pellegrini has suddenly stopped being a disaster. All this does is pile on more pressure & increase speculation about when he goes. Make the decision & let the new manager have a reasonable chance of uniting the squad & bringing in a couple of players. Have the owners been looking at how Watford have been doing since Pearson came in. What is so difficult to understand about this?
The owners have put faith in a man, which they’ve invested in more then any other which is now dramatically back firing in front of there own eyes having no idea what to do next, hence then in decision to stick or twist . They bought a name thinking at worse a mid table team and invested in a few players to satisfied the name but in reality the clubs net different over the past 4 years has been small in regards to the clubs we where promised we would challenge. I’d be happy to be proven wrong at hope we start winning. But need to back him till the end of the season or sack him either way, as decision will certainly be relegation.
He should of been sacked after the Southampton game giving that we had a 10 day break
To of given either Potts or Moyes or whoever they have lined up a few extra days to prepare.
How on earth did our owners Become so rich with this sort of business etiquette.
Should have pulled the plug after Southampton while we had 10 days or so to get someone in and start working with the squad. Missed the perfect window in my opinion.
Burnley for me
Any positive results to come now will be purely down to luck rather than good management.This guy lost the plot weeks and weeks ago and the only reason he is still torturing us all is the fact that the board are loathe to pay out the compensation owed to him.
I’m not reading anymore of this rubbish…if Bournemouth beat us he is gone 😂😂😂are you joking..he should of been gone 2 months ago…we are still
Going round in circles…looks like the championship here we come ..
And it’s entirely the boards fault for not sacking him …this is absolutely ridiculous..maybe you should use your contacts to say something rather than writing..if ,and when and maybe…it’s pathetic
Yes you have said this many tmes and continue to do so WHY?
Last week it was if you lose to palace your gone,now its if you lose to Bournemouth your gone …can’t read this rubbish anymore…I posted earlier with no swearing but views against this but it didn’t make it up on here…..the script is changing every hour ….sick of it
Yeah that’s because the script changes every hour. CU when it’s over then Hammerkip
