Betfair have suspended betting on both Moyes being the next manager to leave and Benitez being their next manager
Decisions like that are just crazy in my opinion. Benitez has been passed it for years why does he still get rehired.Betfair have suspended betting on both Moyes being the next manager to leave and Benitez being their next manager
Same as Moyes Allerdice Bruce pardew etc. The boards know that over 95% of the teams aint gonna win anything, so they go for a cheap option. Someonecwho will hopefully keep them in the division and occasionally over perform in the league or cup run.Decisions like that are just crazy in my opinion.

He‘s coming off the Chinese super league and an awful spell at Everton and West Ham is a big club they can do much better.
Yeah I agree but that’s so daft in this day and age for West Ham. You see clubs like Villa with Emery and Wolves with Lopetegui the league is full of classy managers.Same as Moyes Allerdice Bruce pardew etc. The boards know that over 95% of the teams aint gonna win anything, so they go for a cheap option.

Yes theres no logic other than saving money, as far as I can see. False economy really.Yeah I agree but that’s so daft in this day and age for West Ham. You see clubs like Villa with Emery and Wolves with Lopetegui the league is full of classy managers.
If they hire Benitez they’ll go down.
It was apparently in the contract he signed but Dave seemed to think the length of that contract was the only thing that mattered and everything else was just thrown in for a laugh.It’s a really good interview, actually. Bartlett gets a lot out of him and it’s the most candid and least defensive version of Moyes I can recall.
Sadly, when you listen to him talk about his time here it really just underlines how utterly ludicrous it was that he got the job in the first place. Whether it was deliberating whether or not to buy trousers from M&S when meeting Ferguson (I know it’s a bit of a joke), or struggling to listen to the radio while in the car on the way to Carrington incase his name was mentioned, it’s just overwhelmingly clear that he never, ever understood the scale of the job that he was taking on. Way too big for him, and he still doesn’t seem to understand that finishing seventh was a cast-iron reason for his dismissal. Wittering on about values and the fact that Ferguson was given additional time back in the 80s only underlines his delusion.
May well get the chop at West Ham. In his defence, he’s done a job there on the whole. The ceiling has been reached, however.
It’s a theme with Moyesy. People will say that Sunderland were doomed, but his flippant attitude, that he would just move on that it didn’t work out and lumping responsibility on the players, was awful.It was apparently in the contract he signed but Dave seemed to think the length of that contract was the only thing that mattered and everything else was just thrown in for a laugh.
I still can't wrap my head around the nonsense he spouted about how he'd do everything exactly the same as the first time if he could go back in time and relive his 11 months in charge of United, it was a baffling statement. Then he followed that up with the equally baffling idea that the only way he'd do anything different was if he knew he was getting sacked within the first year. You're going back in time Dave so of course you'd know.
Personally I'm hoping he can dodge the sack long enough to get them relegated.It’s a theme with Moyesy. People will say that Sunderland were doomed, but his flippant attitude, that he would just move on that it didn’t work out and lumping responsibility on the players, was awful.
He is still a terrible decision in the history of two great clubs in this country and if he takes West Ham down, it will be a third.
It’s going to be hard with Lamps, Brendan, Southampton, Bournemouth and an awful Wolves down there, but if anyone can sweet talk the media on his way to failure, it’s Mr Moyes!Personally I'm hoping he can dodge the sack long enough to get them relegated.
Yeah he's got some real competition down there but I have faith in Dave.It’s going to be hard with Lamps, Brendan, Southampton, Bournemouth and an awful Wolves down there, but if anyone can sweet talk the media on his way to failure, it’s Mr Moyes!

Which would also mean West Ham have someone else in charge for their FA Cup game against us at Old Trafford next week.
Don't expect them to actually lose though with how poor Forest have been away from home - worst team in the league in that sense with only 6 points (1 win) and 3 goals scored. If West Ham players down tools then possible.Tweet

I find this a ridiculous way of making decisions. If you are saying you will sack a coach if he loses the next game, it means you have lost confidence. Why wait?Tweet

Because they need to time it before a United gameI find this a ridiculous way of making decisions. If you are saying you will sack a coach if he loses the next game, it means you have lost confidence. Why wait?
After we play them is the right time to do it obviously.They need to sack him soon.
That's what he does, he wins.It went under the radar a bit, but the win against Forrest took him to 250 PL wins, 3rd most in the PL
He needs 5 more full seasons in the PL to overtake Wenger for most matches
This. I thought that was one of the most bizarre managerial decisions of the season. Considering they’re also still in the conference league which they’ve got a far better chance of winning. What he was doing sticking out his strongest side midweek is beyond daft with a game like Brighton away coming. They looked out on their feet by about 70 minutes on Wednesday so no surprise to see them spanked today.In a relegation battle with two days rest after an away game in the cup and he was more interested in getting one over United.
