A damage limitation appointment 5 games into the season, complete lack of ambition by the board more boring dross football on the way

Mind you wouldn't suprise me if he left in Jan after one transfer window with sullivan

I’m not sure Nuno is the right man for WHU. We don’t have the right players that suit his defensive/on the break type football. We’re all glad to see the back of Potter, but someone like Silva or Xavi would have been a better fit. Let’s hope it works out, but I’m not putting out the bunting yet.

I don’t think Nuno is a good long term bet as stated his counter attack style can be found out and may not suit the players we have. But he deserves a good chance to change things before we start slagging him off. Some of us have spent the last 9 months slagging off potter this should be a good thing and is better than some of the dross we we linked with like Dyche and Cooper! I don’t think he will be an overnight sensation but let’s give him a chance

Silva would have been better ( but sully won't pay compo) , moyes left cause the football was so dull they have made 3 appointments in 12 months or so since all managers that play boring football, Luke I said we gave a whole season ahead of us basically we are no where near panic time yet soon they have panicked and got a boring "safe" manager in

Why would Silva come to WH, he’s settled at Fulham? If it’s about who we’d like to see as our manager irrespective we’d all say Klopp or Pep. If we’re being realistic with these owners we’re very limited as to who would take the job. For me staying up until we have new owners has to be the target and Nuno is possibly the best of the bunch in order to achieve that. I’m not thrilled but more optimistic than I was 24 hours ago. Bring on the boring football as long as we stay up ….

I make you right Dabber. It was good hearing rumours that we might start looking at employed managers like Silva. But I agree why would he leave them and come to us? We are a bigger club but with loads of problems and probably a lot of managers wouldn’t want to work with our board. Plus many decent managers are possibly waiting for the man united manager to be sacked.
We have 3 basic issues at West Ham the main one is the board, then the manager and then the players. Much as we would all like a well run board management team to buy us out and then get in a good young forward thinking manager who will work with a DOF to pick the transfer targets and potential new managers and we all live happily ever after………. The chances are it ain’t going to happen all at once. And hopefully the new manager can get this bunch of players to perform better. If he can get our defence to defend properly that will be a start. I honestly can’t predict how this is going to go. Nuno had a good season last year and was decent at wolves but was a disaster at Tottenham. I would much more prefer someone like Xavi or the Bournemouth manager but this is what we have and just hope he gets a better tune out of these players than Potter. I would like to see some youth incorporated but not sure he is well know for that.

The reason Silva would leave Fulham for another project is simple: he believes he’s taken Fulham as far as he can. Mark my words, if the right project comes along, he’ll be off. There were strong rumours a while back he would replace Ange when he was at Spurs. All coaches are open to interesting new projects if there is an incentive. Realistically, the likes of Klopp or Pep wouldn’t consider WHU as we all know, but I don’t think either would suit WHU anyway. Silva would, and he would see potential in the club. Therein lies the obvious difference.

Good points well made Hammer-D, we have to take baby steps and this starts with Nuno. We need to get behind him because he’s got one hell of a job to do

Tin I don’t know if Silva would have done well or not. I’m not saying your wrong but I see us as a sort of replica of Everton who sacked him along with a lot of other good managers and then ended up with the likes of BFS and Shaun Dyche only to end up back at square one with Moyes! He didn’t leave Watford for the great Everton project it was for the money and the big club status. He seems to do better at small clubs.
A lot of people were raging that we didn’t go for Amorin from Sporting, looking at what an absolute sh*tshow he has been at Man U we can count ourselves lucky. A man who has had a chance to bring in his own players, they’ve failed and only he plays one failing system. It’s funny we don’t hear those same voices now .?
I agree Dabber we have to get behind him and give him a chance, although that said that’s not open ended support we need to see a change in performance, team spirit and results. I wouldn’t expect it immediately but 6-8 weeks should be enough to see if there are changes, we can’t wait for Christmas or summer to get his own players in, we need someone who is adaptable and makes the best of what we have.

I think Silva would have been a better fit, given the type of players we have. Nuno is very similar to Moyes, but he hasn’t got a world class defensive midfielder to call on like Moyes had. Our defence isn’t a patch on the defence Moyes had, and we don’t have a fully fit striker for counter attacks. The playing staff available to Nuno worries me. To be honest, I see Nuno as a sideways move. Of course things might work out and I hope they do, but I’m just not entirely convinced happy days are here again just because Potter’s gone.

All I can hope for is a manager that can see his best team and incorporate some of the better youth players in there. The fans would get behind that. Potts, Earthy, Marshall could easily step up.
Potter was tinkering with the team all 8 mths he was there.

But the big one though will be January and who Nuno can attract to WH because we need a young striker and faster players. I'm hoping his portuguese revolution at Wolves happens for us as well. With these owners though tbh I'm negative. We need to get them out

Hammer D disaster at Tottenham, really? I wouldn't call a win rate of 47% a disaster, David Moyes had a win rate of 44% in his second spell and Moyes has the best win rate of all our managers!

Nunos tactics revolve around having a strong defence and a solid defensive midfield, the same as moyes tactics the difference between us and forest where they did well last season is forest had good defenders and defensive midfielders hence why I think we will struggle under nuno, I can see us still struggling by Xmas and then he will be under pressure already can't see much good coming out of this appointment it has panic written all over it to be honest

Fair point Gerry I didn’t realise it was high. I just spoke to a couple of mates who are spurs fans and they said he was crap. But that is a decent win rate.
