AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I don't think it's a bizarre decision to have faith in your manager. If he fails, he does one. I just think it was clear he wasn't going to turn it around, that's all. A new manager might have given them a boost and motivated the players enough to survive. Having faith in the manager is admirable, but only if he's the right man for the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I don't think it's a bizarre decision to have faith in your manager. If he fails, he does one. Agree with that. At the time they were on about sacking him they were in truly awful form. They've done well to get this close IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were in awful form, they kept him, they got relegated. (Obviously it's actually impossible to know) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The damage was already done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 While there has obviously been mismanagement, I do feel a bit sorry for him because his players just haven't done it. Seeing them running their socks off today when it came to the crunch must have made every West Ham fan wonder why they couldn't have done this a few months ago. And I know it's not just about working hard but still, must be infuriating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Zola is more culpable tbh. They finished on 35 points last season and really should have gone down with that. His heart's never been at it at WHU, and You could see that from his fourth or fifth game in charge. Got to be said, both time we've played them they've looked absolutely atrocious. They made our job far easier than any side from The Championship last season. Dreadful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 6 months too late; if they'd stayed up he'd have gone anyway. WH have taken our blue print for stupity and tried to "improve" it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 My only real gripe is we played the bastards twice in a month when we were shit and they were on a decent little run. They've turned in him some abject showings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I fear for West Ham like... they will lose all the decent players and might not have the 'group of lads' that we had to band together and get them back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 He's the most uninspiring looking manager, and I can't imagine him getting the players fired up for a battle. Whenever I've seen West Ham this season, they've looked good in bursts, but then the concentration goes and they seem to lose heart completely. With the players they've got, they shouldn't have gone down. Having said that, it feels bad to publicly sack the guy straight after the game like that. He's entitled to a bit of dignity.

Ronaldo Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Defensively they're an absolute disgrace. To think Upson and Green were starting for England in The WC less than a year ago, Capello should be shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
