Sam Allardyce sacked (ed. or not, ed ed. err yes)

£6m for Maiga?!!!!!
The blokes not worth 6 quid.0 -
For that reason I think they will keep him 'til the end of the season. If they stay up they will sack him in any case. If they go down they will probably do the same BUT, if they can't find a Manager suitable enough to get them straight back up, they might keep him on. And then sack him once they get back up!Riviera said:Alan Green, for once, made an interesting point last night during commentary. He said imagine West Ham were in this position with a different manager; so they sack whoever it was and if Big Sam was available he would be the ideal candidate to bring in to save them. Funny old game.
I'm sure someone else made the point to Green first......

More money? You don't have a clue what you are talking about. How much more money should they give him? Seeing that he spent 11m on jarvis, 6m on maiga, 5m on downing and 15m on carroll. I think he's had his chance to show what he can do with money.Absurdistan said:Crazy decision. There squad is so poor.
Needed to give Allardyce some cash and support for the rest of the season.
Think they are more likely to be relegated now. Haha wet spam
Wow that is a lot of money on some really poor players. Still dont understand what Big Sam and Daglish saw in Andy Carroll.

A confident, fit Andy Carroll is a very, very good player. I just don't think you'll see that very often, if ever.1

I heard a rumour that Carroll isn't injured, he's doing a stint in rehab for coke. Probably just bollocks though1

This rumour seems to pop up about most players who are out for a while. I heard RVP and heard it about Jack Wishire on numerous occasions.Croydon said:I heard a rumour that Carroll isn't injured, he's doing a stint in rehab for coke. Probably just bollocks though

I think he's another Gervinho. A decent enough player but just not suited to the pace and power of English football0 -
I heard the same , but it could be misconstrued as Rehab for injury rather than drug addiction?Croydon said:I heard a rumour that Carroll isn't injured, he's doing a stint in rehab for coke. Probably just bollocks though

heard the same from a Geordie fan. He reckons he has certainly had a line or two but agrees its unlikely he is in rehab.Croydon said:I heard a rumour that Carroll isn't injured, he's doing a stint in rehab for coke. Probably just bollocks though

footballer takes cocaine shocker0

I heard that its not rehab, more a conspiracy that he got caught taking it and got a ban that was 'hushed' and the club report that he has numerous injuries etc.
Heard it about Tomas Rosicky when he was out a few years ago for an extended period for Arsenal
Probably all bollocks though0 -
Just read this from Allardyce: '"What do you expect when you've got lads on free transfers playing against players that have cost hundreds and hundreds of millions of pounds?' What an absolute clown. He's spent £15 million on a crippled carthouse and spaffed millions on Downing, Maiga and Joe Cole and he has the nerve to cry poverty? A League 2 manager would be embarrassed coming out with a line like that and he would at least have a point. Pitiful.5

In a semi-final?Addick Addict said:
Given the fact that "everyone gets smashed by City at home" would it not have made more sense to have a stronger team against Forest and a weaker one against City? After all, they might just as well have lost 12-0 to City because, over two legs, they were never going to get through were they?The Red Robin said:They've got a Championship squad and just lost to Forest with a side made up of youths / reserves pretty much and to City, which doesn't count. Everyone gets smashed by City at home.

Bad job for most managers that want to improve their CV. They should stick with fat Sam. He looks a defeated man though and is probably not as enthused by the job as he should be.
I think he wants out...£££.0 -
Love to see the wet spam in the Championship, playing at the Olympic park in front of 15000.
Your ground's too big for you !1 -
Next season could realistically see West Ham Vs Leyton Orient in the league. At the Olympic StadiumValiantphil said:Love to see the wet spam in the Championship, playing at the Olympic park in front of 15000.

ok so prolly want them relegated next season , as we go up!0

A West Ham fan said to me today that they played last night as if they were under orders not to pick up injuries. For someone who espouses conditioning and Sports Science (he took 60-odd staff to Newcastle), Allardyce doesn't seem to be very lucky with the results.0

Have heard the Rosicky rumour before. I'd say it's probably fairly commonplace in football yet we never get to hear the truth. If someone fails a test, they're announced as injured until it's out of their system.
I find it pretty hard to believe that over the years the only ones who've ever failed a test that spring to mind are Mutu, Bosnich and Kolo Toure.0 -
Yes - a delicious thought!Swisdom said:

Not as nice as the hope that they do a Wolves and are playing Shrewsbury at home in the first game at the Olympic Stadium in Div 1.Viewfinder said:

Allardyce is quite overrated IMO, his long-ball style is less effective against teh 4-2-3-1 system people are using in the Premiership these days0

Probably be ok until the injured players come back but then can you rely on players who have been unfit for ages and its going to bring massive pressure on him - already a lot as it is!0
