West Hams season starts 2nd July, Europa league, Small squad, plenty travelling, new manager, by the time they get near Christmas they should be in deep poo, love to see them start their first season in their FREE stadium back in the Championship could'nt happen to a nicer bunch! I'll second that Jonny, love to see them relegated. Wet Spam fans are just a bunch of deluded idiots. That moron Moose on the Alan Brazil show thinks they'll sell out for most of their games, over 50,000, in the new stadium. Ha ha ha ha ha. Brilliant.

Now that Dick Advocaat has left Sunderland does that pave the way for BSA I wonder??

He has said he wants a break, but he said that when he left Bolton and was in the opposition dugout for the first game of the new season. Can't see why he wouldn't take that Sunderland job? Not that its a great prospect or has a wealth of talent but i'm looking at other Premier league club and not sure where the next vacancy is coming. Although Watford are on the lookout. Others; Liverpool would never get that job regardless of what he's done, fans would turn on him doubt the owners would back him and Rodgers still a popular boss with the Americans. Newcastle- Will never happen. Leicester - Pearson must have bought himself some extra slack on the noose but off field antics could make him job unsecure, if they start the season badly the fans can turn again.
The 3 clubs that I would mark as interesting would be: Southampton: Can they keep Koeman If he goes that would be an ideal job look of young players, money to spend, decent foundation. Everton: Cannot under achieve again next season, without Europa league. Sam could easily do a Moyes and get them solid at the back again and Lukaku is a perfect Sam player *Everton fans were not always happy with Moyes style but top 4 finish and FA Cup finals not to be sniffed at. Spurs: Not too keen on Pochettino, seemed to be a bit of a topsy turvy team last season, relying on Kane goals. Can't quite believe they got as high up in the league as they did, shows what an awful season Liverpool had.
So at the moment I'd say 14 managers jobs were secure, 3 available(Sunderland, Watford, West Ham), 3 Insecure (man city/liverpool/Newcastle) Slim pickings considering two former clubs that wouldn't have him back and 2 clubs that would't take him on.

Looks like the Mackems want Sean Dyche!!! They obviously didn't like staying up on the last day, they want to go one better and get relegated earlier

What price a scenario whereby at Mid season investors are found,NL ups sticks , we have a new chief exec.and BSA returns to us?! If Eidur did why not Sam?

I think because Sam is on a completely different level now salary wise. I saw recent reports suggesting he was on around £3m a year at West Ham! An excellent piece of business though if he repeated previous successes or even if he got us back to the PL and mid-table mediocrity.

heard the paper review on Talksport...apparently they will announce new manager soon..probably Bilic.... but they were saying they'd asked Ancelotti, Klopp and Rafa...good god..talk about ideas above their station...who do they think they are !!!. they've never won the league EVER. or made it even close to champs lge qualification....and yet they're asking all these managers that have won the champions lge or been to the final and won lges in other countries. last 2 Liv and Everton managers were a guy just got relegated ( Martinez) and Rodgers who'd just got Swansea promoted playing good footie and kept them up easily . both Liv and Everton are bigger than west ham. BSA not only 1 ) took them up, 2 ) kept them up then 3) pushed them to comfy midtable ( no releg fight !) , and can't have had massive budgets..if you're having to sign a fading Jussi, a fading Nolan , fading matt taylor, vaz te and joey o' brien..... etc . Cresswell one of their better players this season was bought from the championship. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diafra_Sakhoand Sakho was bought from the 2nd tier in France .

Talk sports when it comes to London clubs and especially west Ham they are completely out of touch with reality. Almost everyday you ll hear someone there talking about the "west ham style of football" and other nonsense! A year ago and even start of this season kept going on about why big Sam is not the right manager for them! With Sam gone now I expect them to get relegated again in the next 2-3 years or get back to their natural position of relegation scrap.

Strange, I came on here after listening to a Talk Sport caller too. "Slaven Bilic is one of our own, we are right to get rid of Big Sam, he;s a northener and doesn't fit in"
First thing I don't mind West Ham fans saying they've had enough of Big Sam, after all when he left us I wasn't enjoying the football anymore and I don't think Bilic is a bad appointment. However, one of our own??? A Croat who played 48 games for the club scoring twice and winning absolutely nothing. I thought i'd compare this to say someone who played for us who we would never claim as being one of our own Paul Warhurst played almost twice as many games for us that Slaven did for them.
And what does him being Northern(midlands) have to do with anything? A while ago one of the muppets phoned in and said they would absolutely love it if Psycho would take over. I would happily grant them their wish and let Stuart Pearce take over. He's possibly the worst club manager out there

To be fair Billic has a credible record wherever he's been but we all know the standard in the Pl is far tougher than anywhere he's been before. Unless they spend a shed load of money they will never compete at the top and frankly I doubt even if they had the money any top players would want to go there. Once the 20-30 thousand start rattling round the new stadium they'll be longing to be back at Upton Park and it won't be long before they resume their rightful place in the lower reaches of the PL table. As for Sam, he'll just pick up his dosh and move on to pastures new, wherever that may be.

No real jobs have come up for Sam and i'm thinking that it could make sense for all if he takes over the utterly useless Gareth Southgate at U21 coach.
Think The FA have treated this role as "anyone can have a go" at it. First Stuart Pearce who's record was appalling at club level failed initially at Forest, Man City and then somehow landed this job before going back to fail again at Forest. Southgate's short record at Boro was equally woeful so why these guys have been given jobs is beyond me.
Why would Sam take it? Massive pay drop yes. But pretty stress free, lots of time to spend in the game but away from it too. Plus if he did do well and say won a tournament(I'm sure he would have done better that the cast of Pizza Hut adverts) that's him throwing the hat in for the big job when Roy does go(which I think will be at the end of 2016). Southgate was one of the favourites for the England job before the tournament. Based on what exactly i'm not sure.
Think Sam would man manage the kids much better, make sure he gets the players he wants. He would also have a great opportunity to change his perception. If like I say he does manage a tournament win then even the London press would have to back him.
The only question is will F.A be brave enough to take a Sam or Harry on or will they go for someone like Phil Neville. I think the latter but really think either of the former candidates would be a good shout.
