Reading reports today that Big Sam is going to get the boot from WHU after the final match of the season v City, so if true where or what would Sam do next or does he even want to carry on if offered another job? It does not seem that long that Sam was throwing his hat in the ring for the England managers job.
I would have him back like a shot but do see him being snapped up by another Premiership club.

I don't see him being snapped up by another premier club, especially with the penchant for foreign managers, unless it's one of the newly promoted clubs of course, and most other clubs (if he was willing to drop a division) would be unable to offer the money he has allegedly been on at West ham.

There would be absolutely no shortage of options for BSA were West Spam stupid enough to get rid of him. You have to seriously ask yourself just what their supporters want? Sadly they have perceptions way above their status largely down to the 1966 England stalwarts and a second batch under Rednap neither of which ever produced greatness for them. Sadly they perceive themselves as some kind of doyens for pretty pretty football despite the fact it's only ever got them relegated whilst BSA has kept them well afloat. Hopefully if they do sack him they'll again find out the hard facts of life and get relegated again. Would I have him here again? Not really, he couldn't ever repeat his wonderful years and I'd rather remember that than see him struggle with the constraints he'd have now. Wouldn't surprise me if he ended up abroad actually to try his hand there.

I wouldn't be surprised if he called it a day personally

I honestly think it could be his prem days numbered if he's booted out of westham. Potentially may be an emergency acquisition like pulis was to palace ?
Other than that, if he doesn't call it a day I think he'll appear in the championship somewhere.

IF he's not appreciated by the fans and the board don't back him, he can walk away with his held up high.
I personally dislike Westham with a passion and could never understand why Sam went there.
I can't see this happening but either way money talks and Sam will be given a golden handshake and then off to another project.
The guys a millionaire I don't feel sorry for him and neither should we. For Sam to return would be a mistake like someone already pointed out IF he couldn't repeat the success that he had the last time it could turn ugly and let's face it Sam left for a bigger money purse to spend and yet he didn't last too long did he??
Good luck Sam!!

Sam has always wanted to manage a "big" club and probably thought he had done that when he got the Newcastle job but as we know that ended all too quickly. It's clear Sam's not going to be given any of the current big PL clubs and I'm not sure he'd want another smaller club. Personally I've always fancied Sam for one of the bigger, underperforming clubs like Leeds, Forest or Wednesday that he could build back to greatness. That would be perfect for both I think so it wouldn't surprise me if he went for something like that. The only blocker to me would be money. Nobody is going to offer him close to what he's on at WHU but then I think Sam will realise that. So it would be opportunity over salary and depends on Sam's ambition to take on the task. I'd love to see him successful so best of luck Sam if the worst happens.

White sinc63, I think Leeds might be a good bet as the new owner has already sacked the manager once before he actually took over and the owner has ambitions and Big Sam would be ideal for a new club coming up to the prem. it would be nice if Big Sam went there and there and their fist game was west ham and Leeds parked the bus and beat them 3 nil...

I've always hated WHU and only watch them because BSA is there... ... you are correct though that there are a few "big" clubs in the chumps league Notts Forest, Leeds, Sheff Weds, that would welcome BSA and getting back into the PL... he knows his business and has a good CV... he knows it's a results business... I don't think he'll retire, he's too valuable for that... ... he's done a great job there on a shoestring in comparison... they will regret it once he's gone...

The fact is WHU have never been a big club but the fans like to think they are. They are so far up their own superior arses they can't see what's good for them. They don't have the cash to mix it with the big boys and they no longer have the youth coming through so what's BSA supposed to do to keep them up other than what he has? Hopefully if they do sack him they will quickly crash and burn.

I think we all know that BSA has the wherewithal to keep West Ham in the Prem year after year and that would suit me fine if it were Bolton and we finished 17th every season. But the Hammers fans expect Chamions League, an FA Cup and League Cup final spot and top four every year because, let's face it, they are the best footballing side in the world??? I do hope they go on and sack BSA and then move to their new plush 60.000 seater Olympic Stadium whilst they drop out of the Prem next season into the Chump with crowds of 16000 in the empty bowl Do it Karen, go on, give it him "You're Fired" just like your bearded friend Lord Shugga

Reckon he will go now, too many players out of contract which is ideal for a new manager.

According to TalkSport today, BSA was asked the question at the recent Managerial Awards ceremony, the one where Brendan "lock up yer wives" Rogers, was named manager of the year!!! (Why??? He didn't win phukkall....)
"does he believe he will be in charge next season"
BSA allegedly retorted "well I wouldn't have shown up tonight if I didn't think I'd be in charge any longer"
That means he's gonna be sacked!!!!
