West Ham Matt wrote:Nah just seems a bit odd. Can see people just rushing in hitting yes without reading it properly, assuming it was leading to 'yes' meaning sack him. Relieved being read sub consciously, instead of retained.
Cognitive bias, some want him out so much that they can't understand the response they want should be 'no' rather than 'yes'.

Think Georgee nailed it for the reasons for the vocal complaints though

My heart says "sack him", my head says "keep him".

Stick. For now.

Matt

There's one poll. One simple question.
On the single biggest talking point at our club right now.
On a forum where everyone will have an interest in the subject.

If you fail to read it properly, or rush through it and fail to vote correctly, then you're somewhat of a c*ck, quite frankly.

But still, we are 5 points worse off than we were under Avram at the same stage of the season.

Surely anything or anyone is better,considering we are losing most weeks.

He has never won 2 games on the bounce in this league ffs, it's ridiculous.

Clear YES!

Sam is now destroying the club I have loved since I was 6 years of age! None of our Youth will get a chance under his control, also who would want to join Our Club with the way he is handling on pitch tactics.

Can we have a poll for the wording of the poll?

Time is running out but still think he has been unlucky. We should have a full strength squad soon enough so then we can really judge him.

You're clearly not, as you don't know what schizophrenia is.

Get rid.

We play **** negative football. The players arent organised or giving 100%. Wouldnt trust him with a penny in the transfer market. Havent got so little enjoyment following West Ham for years he sucked the fun out of going.

I want all those chads with off centre holes in them recounted!

Failing that, the matter should be put before District Attorney Allardyce at Florida Supreme Court.

Haven't had much to laugh about lately that was related to West Ham but Jaybs is either a comedy genius or complete numpty... it really is an easy question posed by UTJ "Do you want West Ham to RETAIN Allardyce...Yes or No"... how hard is it people?!?!

IRONS!

Im a bit undecided.I think a change could freshen things up a bit, a different perspective could help. But at the same time he has fine experience in these situations and theres no better manager out there currently who will take this job.

I think how close this poll currently is says it all. I would say its near enough 50/50 if anything. You cant draw much from 55/45 with the number of votes currently processed. Theres a massive divide between yes and no, so its a tough one for the board :lol:

Very simple NO
Get shot of him asap!
Spent loads of money on players who are and have had a history of being injured!
Style of play is kick and rush! tactics at best poor, and the most important thing.
We play football in a attractive way and have a history of doing so!!!!!! not this crap!
The man should fall on his sword, but he is only there for the money and has no interest in the heritage of such a great club!
Bring on Glen Hoddle, he might get the playing staff wanting to play "Football" :crest: way!!

I voted no, mainly because there is no one available to take over, look at some of the names people have come up with

Malky Makay 7 mths in the premeirship had Cardiff playing the same as us very defensive

Alex McLeish Pass

PDC as mad as a box of frogs

Hoddle hasn't managed for a good few years

Biesla him and PDC can sort out who owns the box of frogs

Bilic on the surface could do it, But a big big gamble

Harry Leave it out

we really haven't got a lot of choice bear in mind the board won't want to pay compo, and no one seems to be hammering the door down saying they'd want the job
