Will the amount of money they’ve spent they need a manager who can assess the players and decide. Or lamps does well and gets the job full time again. Even though he’s useless as a manager. They may as well bring Di Matteo back. At least he won them something What do they need to achieve? It's just a stop gap. Guessing maybe they just want to take their time on appointing the next permanent big name even though there's a fair few without a club right now.

Or even go left field with JT or something. Just don’t understand how Lampard keeps getting jobs. He’s failed everywhere 1

From memory his tenure there wasn't exactly a disaster, specifically the first season where he couldn't buy players but finished top 4? Did well at Derby. As far as interims go with no real expectations to meet it makes a lot of sense.
Corky Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 I know there is a view that the only things a manager needs is money and good players so only correct that Steve Bruce shows his worth and goes back to Newcastle. 1

I wouldn’t say lampard would be near my choice to see out the season when still in a major competition

I'm hoping they might rest a few players and get to about 3 up and then ease off, as our game is in between their CL games v Bayern. Right, I'll put my straws away now.... 1

On paper best team in the championship and still failed to get them promoted
cruzFOX Posted 6 April 2023 Posted 6 April 2023 Can we just get a win please this weekend ffs? Where is the determination? We saw the fight against villa now we need to combine it with some smarts and a steely drive to get all 3 points. Run then guts off and leave it all on the field if that’s what it takes. no more silly hospital passes we’ve all had enough. Win at all costs than we can reflect and prepare for man city. 2
ceredigion Posted 6 April 2023 Posted 6 April 2023 9 hours ago, Fear Of The Fox said: Do you have any proof for this? There's no way a modern manager would agree to this kind of clauses. BR will count this week the money on his bank account and he will happily consider accepting a West Ham job next Monday or Tuesday. I'm not saying it's a hard and fast rule which is applied on all occasions. In football every managerial contract and termination of contract is unique and tailored to suit the needs of both the club and the manager. Sometimes a club will sack a manager and not care whether he walks into another job the same day. They might think he's completely useless and unlikely to prove an asset to one of their rivals. West Ham, like ourselves, are deep in the mire, even more so after last night and we still have to play them on the last day of the season in what could be a winner stays up game. It would make sense for the board to insert some kind of clause in BR's leaving agreement to stop him taking another PL job before the end of the season, or even specifying certain teams he cannot join. Of course Brendan wouldn't have to agree to it if he didn't want to but then the club would pay him considerably less severance money. I think the board still rate BR as a manager and the last thing they would want to see is him keeping West Ham up at our expense. 2

Underperformed from what I can understand in a short stint at Schalke. Besides that decent spells in League One with MK Dons and WBA in the Championship. And did nothing at Chelsea in a year besides from the CL having joined them in the QF stage most likely. Fair play to him for doing that but besides from the one triumph he kind of walked in to it looks fairly average to me? Absolutely no way is he a far better choice than Lampard 1

You realise there are like 9 teams involved at the bottom right? I’m hoping it’s done before then. Yeh more teams at the bottom the better 🤦🏻♂️

It doesn't mean we will just rock up and win without trying but there is an obvious benefit about playing a team who have nothing to play for.
Hamilton Fox Posted 6 April 2023 Posted 6 April 2023 (edited) We’ve been so bad this season but so have all the others, the drop off for us and West Ham has been shocking Edited 6 April 2023 by Hamilton Fox
davieG Posted 6 April 2023 Posted 6 April 2023 N'Golo Kanté has played 3️⃣ games at Stamford Bridge under 3️⃣ different managers this season... 😳 🆚 Tottenham under Thomas Tuchel 🆚 Villa under Graham Potter 🆚 Liverpool under Bruno Saltor Probably 4 games 4 managers soon
