NFR: Forrest - West Ham

[cottage cheese]

Sam has got this all wrong. Why the hell did he rest everyone for a game they could win and get some momentum/good feeling back into the club??? They will never best city even if city put out a second string team!!!

[Deanothefulhamfan]

Terrible result, and I think that may be the end of big Sam...

[PokerMatt]

Fat Sam is the 13th highest paid manager in WORLD football though. Bafflingly. That can be the only reason he hasn't been fired.

[Burt]

I hope Sam avoids the axe. With him in charge they will go down. It would not be good if he gets replaced by someone who is able to turn their fortunes around.

[Craven Mad]

Moving to another prem struggler; Sunderland are (currently) beating Carlisle, 2-1, but have just 40% possession with a near full-strength team!

Excluding Giaccerini, Fletcher and Borini, Poyet is going for this, putting out the best available.. Can't do their survival chances any good.

I feel it's the point of no return with West Ham now. If they were going to get rid of Sam, surely he'd have gone by now and a new guy installed to wave the magic wand in the January transfer window! Like above, lets hope he remains, because at this moment in time, he's taking them down.   

[Wingnut]

Awful result for West Ham. They look totally lost as a team. If Sam stays, they will go down, which is good news for us.

But Sam has always said if he was called Allardici, with his style of thug players using the long ball game , he would be the manager of a top European side, what a bellend he is, please stay sam

I always thought that point he made was particularly ridiculous. It's basically;

Reporter: "So Sam, why are you losing all of your games?"

Allardyce: "Because I am too good a manager and my tactics are too impressive"

WHAT???

Still, it seems to have impressed Gold enough that Sam will be too costly to boot.

He's earning £3 million a year, it will cost £4.5 million to get rid of him. No one is going to be buying out his contract any time soon. West Ham are pretty much doomed to relegation right now. A few decent players worth picking up if they do go down in Morrison, Winston Reid and Mark Noble. Considering Brady, Gold and Sullivan are experienced football club owners, you think they would of got it by now. Relegated twice with Birmingham as owners and now its looks as though West Ham will go down for a 2nd time during their ownership.

He did have some bad news for us, though (from WHU website's 'Big Sam's preview') talking about WH's u21s:

"Before the U21 league shut down before Christmas, they were top of it. We all know there is a big jump between there and the first team, but they are top of that league so they are proving that around the country, whoever they've played, they've been better than their opponents."

This will come as a considerable shock to Kit Symons and the rest of the squad who went on their Christmas hols thinking they were 4 points clear at the top

LMAO, he really is delusional.

Good luck on filling the Olympic stadium if they go down, half empty they will lose all the atmosphere they have at Upton Park which has served them well over the years
