Sacking is simply not on – nor is it an option right now
A media frenzy got underway today with names such as Mancini being thrown around …Guus Hiddink is another I’ve heard.
Neither are going to replace Slav anytime soon or at all.
Sacking managers has become a national pastime. It rarely works and can be seriously costly anyway. The only reason it happens is because there’s no one else a club can move on making it entirely unfair.
What’s happening at Wet Ham this season is so West Ham and those of us who have been supporting this team down the years know that life with this club as always beeb as unpredictable as it gets.
Mind you I have yet to hear anybody explain with any degree of logic how we have slipped to our current position after the excitement of last year.
We’ve all had a try but the explanations have been so varied that arriving at the reason for the downturn is as difficult as understanding the amazing upturn last term.
As I say it all very West Ham and in David Sullivan and David Gold we probably have the most reluctant sackers in the national game.
I honesty believe that we will see things start to turn this weekend. It’s a gut feeling based on the anger the players are feeling at their own performances under a manager who has made no secret of how annoyed he is at the level of performance.
Training has been intense and the message of how urgent a clean sheet has become is being hammered home every day.
Slav knows every one of these players inside out and backwards…we trusted him in the good times and I personally trust him to see us through this.
My prediction is a draw or a win at Selhurst followed by a victory over Sunderland.
