Not sure why it took the Board so long to act on Nuno ? Most fans would have axed him at the end of last season - and certainly after the slow start we had. What a mess - at least the new manager will have the chance to put it right; we still have time to get into the top two - but we need for it to click very quickly,

Thank God we have a long Championship season. I think Boro will be tough to overhaul.

*what if*

I think it's early enough in the aeason for him to get his ideas across to the players...something Nuno didn't seem capable of. He was a :what of" coach who didn't knowhos best team..playing Pablo and Kante up front against WBA on Saturday ffs?

I'm sure Parker can get us back in the prem, but not sure he can get is to succeed in the prem. That said, we need to look at the current situation and get behind him ⚒️

I think that’s right - my only concern is that Parker’s three promotions to the Premier League came after full seasons in charge. I just hope that he has the time required to work through this mess.

We have to get behind Parker, he has solid track record getting teams out of championship and thats all we want. With Mark Noble supporting we can hopefully get the best from young talent. Forget Bellamy with zero experience.

chillout1w ago

Yes - Parker is the obvious choice to get us promoted.

pranav.shahaney1w ago

I would not want Parker managing in the Premier League tho. He’s a promotion specialist but that’s about it. Always struggled in the Premier League

dale.odonnell1w ago

I don’t think West Ham fans were ever convinced by Nuno. Am I wrong?

mitchfarrow571w ago

Are they convinced by anyone????

chillout1w ago

He was the antithesis of the kind of manager we want. Madness or desperation to hire him in the first place.

Do not know if parker right choice would go for Eddie Howe

chillout1w ago

Why would Howe come - especially if he is holding out for the United job ?

wendy.a.james1w ago

Parker knows the club inside out & with Noble as his back room buddy, claret & blue will be running through their veins. Promotion- yes, a proven track record. Premier League - no

chillout1w ago

Yes that is clearly right - but our first priority is to get promoted. A contract until the end of the season with a big promotion bonus might do the trick. He is a free agent so hopefully will go for that. Whether you would keep him into next season is another question….

gordon1davison1w ago

I think that Craig Bellamy would be a good appointment

dantowen819511w ago

It wouldn’t surprise me if Bellamy is the next one after Parker, whenever that may be

seanfisher1w ago

Another example of football boardrooms lacking proactivity, choosing to wait until it’s the only decision remaining

dakir.thanveer1w ago

Yeah! Although there were positives here and there, it was evident that Nuno wasn't going to work out at West Ham

josh.barker1w ago

Feels a bit odd to sack him after West Brom, they’re a really good team this season and still only 4 points off top two. I’d have kept him for this weeks games and made a decision in the break

mitchfarrow571w ago

Exactly. Always the manager. Look at some of the players first!!!!!

chillout1w ago

It’s wasn’t just the West Brom result though - it was dropping 15 points playing the likes of Burnley, Charlton, Watford, Millwall and Southampton too.

george.patten1w ago

It was that run a few weeks ago that bought him time. Should’ve been gone in the summer though.

chillout1w ago

Yep - he was brought in last season to save us from relegation. He failed and we kept him on. Doesn’t look a very smart move now.

pranav.shahaney1w ago

It was clear that Nuno was falling out of love with the job and with everything going on behind the scenes, he knew he didn’t see himself being here long term. Parker is a good appointment for the Championship, but West Ham need a new manager if they get promoted

jordan.harris1w ago

Tbf to Nuno, wasn’t that long ago you beat Lincoln 6-0 and Swansea in the same week. The team just missed the opportunity to put their foot on the accelerator then

chillout1w ago

Nuno’s win rate at West Ham was 35.8%. Hopeless. Doesn’t matter how many 6-0 wins you get if that’s what you achieve overall.
