Yeah not having this. The guy has 3,500 twitter followers. Abdul is is the shop window and surely aiming higher. Why would he rush to join West Ham?

I might be in the minority but this is actually a decent appointment for where we are right now. He has a point to prove and they've appointed him at the start of the transfer window so he can have input into recruitment. Big challenge inevitably is the squad rebuild.

3 year deal

They probably don't know burton are L1 or have forgotten we are

Some rare positivity on Foxestalk !!

I'm more convinced every day this club is some sort of psyop to manipulate and mess with fanbase emotions Outgoing information is initially restricted to Happy Birthday messages Plan a 5000/1 celebration whilst completely ignoring the fact the club is back in League 1 for only the 2nd time in its history Leak info about the planned sale of Jeremy Monga knowing any proceeds will be used to plug an accounting whole or pay Harry Winks' wages Now we are drip fed Russell Martin rumours.... knowing the last time this happened there were protests on the terraces and death 'threats' What comes next I wonder?

with promotion at wembley? how awful,

2023/24 championship stats arguably more relevant. I'm sure they'll say Russell Martin's Southampton were ranked No1 for dominant possession, shots on target / xG but ranked poorly for tackles, interceptions and frequently conceding goals from errors as we've all seen with his brand of high risk bait football. Great when it works, horrific when it doesn't.

Palace close to making an appointment, utter madness. what's the rush.

They absolutely should have but I doubt the club has given the manager appointment too much focus as yet. Karel Geraerts still available, can't remember who mentioned him before? Now the 5000/1 game is finally out of the way they're busy trying to clear the decks and balance the books for L1. Getting perceived fair value for Monga seems to be about the extent of any activity.

blimey that lineup almost makes soccer aid appealing

to be fair he didn't say positive intent... just do something...anything...

Mark Robins may soon part company with Stoke according to some sources. Should be high on any shortlist I would have thought? And as for the Southampton manager, reputation tarnished maybe. But his success with that team can't all be attributed to an analyst with an iphone. Who says no?

Let's face it, he could play 45 mins per game and would still score 15-20 goals whilst rustling opposition fans up and down the country. It would be glorious. Those thinking we'll sign someone better has more faith in our recruitment than me!!

They can't afford to get this one wrong. Safe pair of hands required. Parker would be perfect imho but he will inevitably get better offers. I dread to think what Rudkin will come up with.... we just have to pray that McCarron has some sort of positive influence.
