That interview should put the notion of where his interests/thoughts are at the moment.

I hope he deals with GSB in the same way.

Is that where they keep Nigel Quashie?Porkeyes wrote:Our club shop must have a dungeon dept. anyone seen it?
I am surprised that they havent opened an Ann Summers franchise within the store. They could use the strap line " Get F***ed both in and out of the stadium."Porkeyes wrote:Our club shop must have a dungeon dept. anyone seen it?
Must be exhausting continously keeping his story straight on whether he does or doesn't have anything to do with selecting players.When asked whether David Sullivan could be like an English Fernando Roig, Pellegrini spoke warmly about their relationship. And the role that he has been given to imprint a playing style on one that has lacked one for years. “No, I don’t think they [Sullivan and Roig] are exactly the same. They have other personalities. But the year I have worked here with David Sullivan, I have not had any problems. I spoke with him long before we signed a contract, he told me what he wanted to do with this club. One of things he wanted to do was to grow as a club. He wants to rest a little bit from working with the players and the squad, so he asked me for a sporting director. [West Ham appointed Pellegrini’s old friend Mario Husillos last June]. I told him the way I like to work, he agreed with me. We are not going to have any problems.”
Incredible really.Pellegrini sounds like a man who would desperately love a Riquelme or Silva or Isco or Santi Cazorla or Andres D’Alessandro in his West Ham team, even if he does not want to say so. He points out that West Ham do in fact have four playmakers, Manuel Lanzini, Jack Wilshere, Andrei Yarmolenko and now Samir Nasri. The four of them have started a combined 11 Premier League games all season. Only then will we see something close to Pellegrini football here in east London, after a first season of trying to set standards and expand minds. “Those players make a difference especially for the strikers. When you don’t have them, you must try to find another way of playing. But we have playmakers here, and I hope some day we are going to see all of them playing together.”
“The next step is to try to bring in the most amount of young players that we can so we continue having a very good young development squad, and after that to try to reach the top six in the Premier League.
Pretty much, the only doubt really is how much they open the chequebook, they are not exactly made of money as some of the other owners in the PL.S-H wrote:Keep their gobs shut, the chequebook open, and let Pellegrini do his job.
That's all they need to do.
This is the myth that they'd like us to keep believing...
