Something drastic needs to happen soon the board should of acted after the palace defeat and if G/S grow a pair and sack BFS they won't of left the new manager time to sort the mess out. I was optimistic going into the new year but that all went out the window after the Fulham game and let's face it we needed to beat them and Cardiff to build some momentum and get out of trouble but now things couldn't be worse and if Hetinga won't join us who will we end up with? Doubt Lescott will leave city for us and Pelligrini has said he wants to keep.

Hope it's not to late for us as fans we've had to put up with some hard time and this season has been painful just hope we get a new manager who has a decent style of play and keeps us up. Chris COYI



Should of sacked him before the transfer window so the new manager had a chance to bring some of his own players in

I can't see Arry coming but if the impossible happens I can see Malky coming because if the club is smart enough they will look to the future and get a manager that knows the Championship as well because we all know its going to take a miracle to keep us up now!
Also Ravel. All this b******* about him being injured is rubbish. The window opens and he goes AWOL? Nah sorry not having that so expect him to be gone sooner rather then later. Doesn't matter what happens now we have to accept that we are probably about 70% there at the moment and the relegation percentage just keeps on growing.
To give us just a little glimmer of hope we need to get a new manager in before our next game, buy two strikers (which the new manager will play) and two defenders. Get rid of Taylor, O'Brien, Linda and Collison (sorry not good enough anymore) drop Nolan (Allardyce must be desperate slatting his blue eyed boy in public add another enemy to his ever growing list) and strip him of the captaincy and give it to Noble.
The thing that makes me angry the most is that we had a chance to start again when we came up, we finished 10th in the first season and we ****ed it up! In a season we have gone back maybe 3yrs! No depth in the squad because of cutbacks and signing an injured player on 80k a week for 6yrs!
OH and guess what, Cardiff have a new manager and his first game will be against. us. You get the feeling that we have now become the whipping boys of the Premier league because everyone earmarks us as the game to get points. Three points for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer?

And as we slip further in to the relegation zone, three points from safety, calls for Sam Allardyce to be sacked are louder than ever, along with increasing suggestions that captain Kevin Nolan should follow him out of the club with immediate affect.

The claret and blue corner of Twitter has been in melt down ever since Nolan's red card at Craven Cottage, and it hasn't been pretty. The fans are angry. They're upset. They feel cheated and They've had enough. They want change. Now!



Well forget it it. We all now know that the board are gutless and if it wasn't Sunderland we w

I would like to see Malky at West Ham COYI



02 Jan 2014 12:35:46
The Everton defender has turned us down, not money just a feeling, well no wonder why if he meet BFS and Nolan. Same old West Ham no one wants to come and play for us. TIME TO SHAKE IT UP before it's too late if it isn't already



02 Jan 2014 12:28:00
john heirtinga has pulled out of his proposed move to west ham can't say I blame him need forest to turn us over 3 nil and bfs should be on his way



Not happening cause the board are gutless



02 Jan 2014 09:31:57
KN and AC always out boozing in Essex, seen them with my own eyes, let them both go in Jan, they clearly don't care for their football

If we are relegated this season prepare for the worst hammers fans, almost guaranteed to lose the likes of Noble, Diame, Reid, Downing, Morrison, Carroll. Then if we don't come straight back up I can almost guarantee there is some underlying issue with the OS about playing only premiership football there as a main tenant

Some of you are as bad as alladyce by keep quoting injuries. Yes we don't have the squad to deal with injuries but that is the managers fault!

15 million on a player who hasn't played! He was out half of last season, injured at the end and whilst injured we paid 15 million because he meets Sams negative style = managers fault

6 million on downing, yes he's a good player for us, but was considered useless at Liverpool, however I like him but he was signed when every single fan, every single pundit and the owners KNEW that a striker was priority, yet Sam blew the cash as he wanted a player to fit his system, and we all know how that's turned out. = managers fault

So yes injuries are a problem, but it's a managers role to assemble a squad that can cope with injuries, instead he's blown a large budget on players that suit him and not the team.

He deserved the tin tac before the season even started, it's strange that everyone could see what was happening except Sam.

It's also strange that on the odd occasions we've played football we've had good results, yet the following games we revert to type. Yesterday was the final nail as far as I'm concerned, you don't get out of a relegation respecting the point, if you play for a point against the team's around you, then when are you going to ever get three? Got it so far wrong it's unbelievable.



I commented some time ago that with allardycee we will be relegated and what we need to do is appooint a young progressive manager who will build a team to bring us back up and to move forward
this is not rocket science there are several young british managers that could do the job or bring in hoddle for the rest of the season he could then stay as football director while a good young coach is brought in.
we have to make sure the next guy has the right vision and tactical awareness for modern succesful soccer no more bfs or avram grants they would be better running an ann summers shops



Couldn't agree more! Never been a Sam fan. It has always appeared to me to be a fragile relationship. When a new manager comes into a club and starts to question their tradition e. g. "what is the West
Ham way?" it set a distance for me. Yes he got us promotion, but to be honest after Grant I think any decent manager would have. But for me it his misjudgement in the transfer market in order to support an out moded style of play that has been his biggest failure. Coupled to this is his steadfast refusal to bring on any of the youth players and to continue with journeyman players who are either past it or not up to playing at this level. As a fan for over 40 years the displays this season and the quality of players is proabably the worst I can remember. I'm a sad olsd Iron this morning!



Its a joke which Gold and Sullivan are too afraid to do anything about. As a west ham fan I am ashamed of the way our Manager and Board have behaved over the last few weeks.

Sam is told its a MUST WIN game against WBA and we draw (because no defenders. FACT, according to BFS).
Another must win game against Fulham and we lose and he is still in a job.

His transfer dealings coupled with his tactics are a disgrace and only one place we are going under his management. DOWN



Steve Clarke anyone?

Sam has lost it with the dressing room. Discipline has gone and the players quite clearly don;t wanna play for him anymore. You can see it in the body language. Time for a change. I hear Hoddle has been lined up until the end of the season and McKay is also a target
