What do you guys think? Is WHU set to make a competitive season next time around?
Good appointment. These unveiling videos are the most cringy thing in football though.
Only a thread now? This was announced hours ago.
The owners will meddle and eventually undermine him.
I like him, he tries to play football the right way. It will be interesting to see who he brings in as WH over the last few seasons have had a bit of a scattergun approach to signings
Is he a masochist?
Well why didn’t you make one then? Pffft.
Whats up with the pattern on his suit?
Good appointment to be fair, if they give him a decent budget he could be pushing the Europa spots.
Fair fecks, for their level a fantastic appointment.
Reunited with Joe Hart and Pablo Zabaleta.
Seems like the Dildo Brothers actually care. Maybe the rancour will tone down? This is surely a sign of ambition.
Him and Benitez in midtable teams will make the competition better. This season, the bottom 12 were all atrocious.
Make this league great again. Tired of the Allardyce-Pardew-Moyes-Pulis merry-go-round. Will give Hodgson a pass, he's done a great job.

Nice guy Manuel going to Shit Heap United.
Hope they pay him well.
Hope they pay him well.
They could of done much worse.
Totally irrelevant, but just had to google COYI and why they refer to themselves as the irons as well.
Always liked Pellegrini and wish him all the best with West Ham after being shafted by city.
To be fair, Allardyce also consistently does much better than Pardew or Moyes.
Classy manager for a shithouse club, hopefully he does well and gets a bigger job somewhere.
7m a year not too shoddy
Though was apparently on 16m a year at Happy club in China
I really wish we appointed him after sacking Koeman. Wanted him since he left City to stabilise us a bit.
a clear upgrade to the drivel they had
Yaya, Mangala, Hart incoming.
How long is Nasri's ban again?
How long is Nasri's ban again?
I do wonder what it was about the £7m a year job that attracted him.
I'm sure given time, the West Ham fans will turn on and threaten him too. He's managing a club of hard nuts.
That's what I was thinking
Wait, what now? He was told from the beginning Pep was the target and it was his decision to announce that Pep was taking over.
Great appointment from that shithouse club. I wouldn't be surprised if they play better football than us next season.
Not sure who got a better manager Arsenal or WHU
I assumed there was one and it was buried somewhere.
Nice to see him back, he's a good manager though his recruitment at City was very hit and miss with some shockers in there. They'll play nice football and probably have a better season than last but they'll take some absolute hammerings at times too. Think he'll do pretty well with whats there to be honest, Lanzini, Masuaku, Arnautovic and Chicarito will thrive under him. He also loves himself some ancient fullbacks so Zabba and Evra will be ideal.
His 12/13 Malaga side is one of my favourite teams in recent years. Toulalan, Isco, Portillo, Joaquin, Saviola 
Their defence was really good, too, with Caballero in net, Demichellis and Weligton in the centre, and Gamez and Monreal/Atunes/Eliseu as full backs.
Really wanted them in the CL that year. They deserved to qualify against Dortmund, but Pellegrini shot himself in the foot in regards to missing out on 4th. Near the end of the season, he completely changed formations opting for Baptista as a target man when he returned from a long injury which just ruined the flow of the team.

That's a very good appointment but no doubt the West Ham board will some how feck it up.
Well remembered. Malaga splashed the cash in those times (had Rondon and Santa Cruz upfront aswell) but to make CL quarters was fantastic and they should've beaten Dortmund who made the final of course.His 12/13 Malaga side is one of my favourite teams in recent years.

Decent enough appointment for West Ham. As others have said he wouldn't have been the worst selection for an Arsenal or Chelsea.
Great appointment
I like him as a manager and he seems a decent man. Lot of good managers in the prem these days.
Yeah I loved that sideHis 12/13 Malaga side is one of my favourite teams in recent years. Toulalan, Isco, Portillo, Joaquin, Saviola
classy manager
Hope he brings Dimichelis back. Back 4 with him Zabeleta and Eva
Doubt that, they might realized that there are some crazy WHU fans. People having a go at them at the stadium, outside the stadium and they are way to greedy to let it go.
They're muppets, the whole east end gangster persona they portay themselves as is cringe.
