Hi fellas first the good news, On the next manager, Rafa Benitez, he's now 15/8 and has been cut to 5/2 and 9/4 elsewhere, any news is good news after today, we were extremely fortunate to get a point, brilliant display from Adrian, from where I was could not see anything wrong with their disallowed goal, we need so many players in so many positions, don't know where to start, put it another way, who would you keep? Question to other fans, how many of our team, would get into any of the top eight sides, not too many I would guess!! Large broom for a clean sweep needed, bags of cash, plus new man at the helm look to be the other requirements IRONMIKE

Most of our players are decent if being played with the right teammates, in the right formation, with a positive mindset.
Noble rarely looks good if he has to play alongside Nolan.
Noble playing with Kouyate, Amalfitano and Downing is a different matter.
A new manager with a more positive and forward thinking approach will get more even out of the players we currently have than Allardyce. We may even see guys like Amalfitano, Nene, Zarate or even Maiga being played in the right way.
We may sign creative pacy midfielders who will then actually get playing time. We may see substitutions that make sense.
My favourite would still be Klopp if the big clubs stay away from him. We might just persuade him that our project is exciting and just the right thing for him.
And he wouldn't need 70 million to spend on new players.
In Dortmund he never had a big amount of net spend to play with, his net spending was alway very modest there.
But even if it's not Klopp, but Bilic, Bielsa, Moyes, Howe, Benitez or God knows who, it can only get better now for us, not necessarily in terms of league position, but in terms of performances, feelgood factor and pride to be a Hammers fan again.

We were awful against QPR and thank the stars that Adrian played aswell as he did otherwise it could have been very embarrassing.
Whoever comes in has a lot of work to do and a lot of deadwood to get rid of.
Noble seems at times out of his depth when played along side players with any class.
Roll on when the new man takes over bcause we are a shower
