Silly ****er

Hmmm who decided to sign Anderson? 42m.
Who decided to sign Perez?
Who decided to use wages on Carlos Sanchez ? Poor even before injury.
Who pushed for Wilshire to get 3 years

I would not have hired him and even now would fire him. Next 2 games Burnley and Huddersfield. We could lose them

So, on one thread you are saying people who support one of our under-performing players are not proper fans of the club, but on this loop you want to sack our manager after 10 games

Interesting logic

[prophet:marginal]

I'm not hailing him as some kind of perfect appointment. Some of the signings do look a bit slow to develop (and the Wilshere thing reflects poorly on everyone involved with it).

But it's on his watch that Fabianski, Diop and Balbuena were recruited.

Those signings are solid.

[Georgee Paris]

He definitely needs a good result against Burnley otherwise the neysayers and boo boys will be out in force... fo sho

[Marky]

Yes I just want the dross out if this club starting with Antonio and Chicahrito. I don’t rate the manager either I honestly have no confidence in him whatsoever

[Ozza]

Think I’ll give this place a swerve if we don’t batter them... I’ve supported every bloke that’s managed this club to the empth degree, but this bloke is the most West Ham I’ve seen for decades

Style of football, promoting the kids it’s great, Weirdly it’s not all about the result if you’re West Ham...’m getting old

Won 2 league games and spent £100m and I repeat spent 42% of that on Anderson.

I would say there are a vast amount of supporters out with the jury on MP and how he's doing as head coach/Manager.

His future will be looking bleak if he doesn't start picking up points from the likes of Burnley.

Good manager, but suited to a club with far better players than he has at his disposal here, likely to continue to receive praise from the fans for his style of play, but it's a results game and his win ratio thus far is shocking.

That’s what I think. I like him. But the knifes will be out if we don’t start winning games like Burnley... that’s why I think we’ll lose... he’ll get the vote of confidence and we will win a few... then lose again etc etc

The only judgement issue with Pellegrini imo relates to Anderson - and it's not whether he's a decent player or not, it's how far we went to get him. The worry is that the crowd will chew him up before he gets the chance to work with Lanzini, Carroll, Arnie etc as a group rather than just the odd one.

The money spent on the defence looks great value.

Sanchez and Wilshere are just cheap fixes - whose cost is more than covered by the improvements in Rice and Snodgrass.

I think Perez looks better value than Hernandez and Yarmlenko has been a pleasure to watch. Diangana has come on in leaps and bounds, which suggests Xande Silva could really make an impact as he was outshining Diangana pre-injury.

We've had bad fixtures and bad injuries. It's time to be patient. We usually look able to defend, and able to pass. We seem to have a method. We rarely embarrass ourselves these days.

it actually feels like we're working on something for a change rather than just fire-fighting .

I like Mp. But please Manuel don’t ever play Arthur at left back again.

1- Anderson has had a couple of poor games, but he’s also had some very good ones. Let’s not throw him in the awful signings category yet.

2-Perez was cheap, wasn’t able to break into the side straight away and has had an injury. Of the all the times to dig out Perez, you do it on a night he scores.

3-Wages on Sánchez? Any other decent DM alternatives for the squad for free? Who would you have signed? He’s a starter for a decent International side, and had also had a couple of decent performances.

4-Wilshere has signed for 3 years and only missed a few weeks due to an old injury not being dealt with properly. Unless you can guarantee he will be injured forever, WTF is this about.

5-Fire Pellegrini? ****ing ridiculous comment. Only takes a couple of losses for the daggers to come out from some people. The strange thing is, you’ve dug out players who haven’t even been playing and not even mentioned the performances of Ogbonna and Antonio.

Pellegrini has improved us in so many ways with half a squad. We aren’t even in the bottom 6. If you can’t see that, just give up.

Still early days and all that but it’s worrying that we can’t score enough goals. I just think West Ham are cursed to be honest.

[Hammer Laffers]

MP will be fine. We’ve had some unlucky results.

My worry is how much are the board going to chuck at the team.

Balbuena the value signing of the summer I reckon.

Good spot by someone.

Haha I've always thought that... I think it's more that most teams outside the top darling clubs are pretty much cursed. The rest of us will always be lumped with the odds stacked against us, with refs giving bigger clubs more decisions, having more money for transfers, getting favourable draws in cup competitions etc.

The one thing that's really unique our misfortune over the last ten years though is the injuries. Ridiculous how many seasons of several horrendous injuries to key players we've had to put up with.

Its amazing isn't it? The last few pages on this thread is highlighting the money wasted on Anderson and yet your first thought again is "how much will we spend in January?". When will fans learn that how much you spend is largely irrelevant. Its the players you sign. Kane, Alli, Winks, Rice, Balbuena... all players who signed for little fees or promoted from the youth team. Can I remind you Spurs spent zero over the summer. ZERO. And their B team, their reserves just done over what was largely our 1st team.

MP will be judged on results and signings. So far he scores about 3.5/10 for both. Now we have a good run of fixtures, I hope/prey that his results record will improve and maybe give some of the poor signings some confidence.
