8th and shit football is a great result, all credit to him.

If we were playing inconsistent football and were to narrowly miss out on top 4 this season we could be having these discussions taking injuries and other factors into account. I know a lot of people still wouldn't be happy with 5th, which is...

People just can't let that cup run go. A decent achievement from half a decade ago and it's literally 100% of his reputation to this day. During that same time frame plenty of very promising managers and players have become nobodies in football...

There's a lot of discussion on mitigating circumstances and whether they are just excuses but not enough is made of just how bad we've really been this season. Our position is very flattering when taking into account "performances" we've been...

That we don't have the money to sack him and that there are no good candidates around is both... very questionable. We've spent 400m on players in 2 years, we're changing all senior staff and now the 5 million or so would stop us from replacing...

Disagree. He's been extremely defensive in recent interviews, to the point he has started talking total shite that everyone knows isn't true, even the people who defend him. He does not sound like someone who has been given any assurances to me...

"Next season can’t possibly be as bad" is now the reason to keep him. Like, not only is the bar hilariously low but also these expectations are not based on anything but faith and luck :lol: Do we have a lot of gamblers in our fanbase? I've said...

People still hold on to this idea that you hire the "right" manager and you're set for a decade when in reality such cases are outliers. You hire and fire as many managers as you need, it's that simple. West Ham fans want Moyes out. Imagine...

The infamous he'll probably walk posts are back. There is 0% chance he leaves on his own. He's been in full self preservation mode for weeks now as evidenced by the shite that he's coming up with in interviews. There is no realistic scenario in...

Too bad for us he's already told us he will never be able to play that way here. It's mostly that he played the Ajax way when he was there, rather than Ajax playing the Ten Hag way. There really aren't many good arguments as to why should we...

We don't start fresh with a new manager. That's a total non argument. For the bolded, how come we can blame the players then? How are they not victims of this environment? People have no problem saying we need to sell most of the squad but...

But no manager on the planet has unanimous control. That's why it's a bad argument. He has had as much say and control in transfers as a manager could possibly have. It's the same as with the "it's not his squad" thing. OK, it's not his first XI...

Who would that right person be? I see this a lot but I don't see how waiting for a year changes anything. It's never going to be a perfect candidate like Pep. We can attract most managers right now and those who would possibly be available next...

Seems like a much better idea than persisting with a system that clearly doesn't work with the players he has and it's very questionable if it ever will. What is even the point of forcing that system on current players when we supposedly need to...
