Mukasa looks to be creative, which we badly need . Solomon now just cuts inside and passes across the pitch .Prefer Austbo who is much more positive .Angels has energy and is improving

Be lucky Scott. Hoping for no injuries and some time for squad planning ahead of January

The board must back Scott Parker with substantial funds in January to enable him to get promotion

It won’t excite many but it’s been reported Parker wants Harrison Reed from Fulham. I really like the sound of this. A solid, reliable defensive midfielder who never misses a pass. Think he would let Engels and Mukasa push on too

Once a Ham. mer always a Hammer to me anything and anyone.....we need to get back in the top flight. A win at Cardiff tonight will be a welcome 3 points.
freddie1w ago
How you feeling after that one?
james.brooke1w ago
Deserves one last chance at the Prem, but that should be his last try if he gets them up and it goes badly. Can’t see the long term plan really, but about the best they could really do at this point in time. Might work out for everyone, might be a disaster
dantowen819511w ago
I think best-case scenario, this is a bit of a Daniel Farke sort of situation. Everyone thought Leeds would sack him when they went up
harveyleonard991w ago
Reeks of promotion and then a disastrous premier league campaign that results in him being sacked
freddie1w ago
Sacked Moyes because he played boring football. Sacked Nuno because he played boring football. Bring in Parker who… plays boring football! When will they learn!!!
chillout1w ago
Boring football I’d take - just get promotion.

Hopefully, the McDonald's kid can get us back to the Premier league first time of asking. Then we will worry about his record in the top league if and when we are promoted.
james.brooke1w ago
I don’t think that’s a good plan to be honest. What is the point of going up to be in immediate danger of coming back down. For other clubs maybe that is fine, but not West Han
adnan.riaz1w ago
For his resume, and where West Ham are right now, he’s going to do well for them. A smart appointment.
peter.lynch1w ago
Should be great in the championship… but I think fans may be worried about what he brings in the top flight should they make it.. although I guess that is a problem for another time
swhitecrossuk81w ago
Shame he cant get his boots on and add a bit of bite to the midfield😂
dantowen819511w ago
Hahah he still looks fit enough, think he could do a job
cumberworth571w ago
His teams are well organised and hard to beat which currently we are not. Let’s deal with here and now and worry about the future if it happens.
dantowen819511w ago
I had to double check that his Burnley really conceded only 16 goals in 46 games 😂although it’ll be hard for him to replicate that hear with Mavropanos out
dantowen819511w ago
Say what you want about his Prem record, there’s no one better for the challenge we face right now
dancoombs1w ago
He’s a good option and knows the club. Step in the right direction
george.patten1w ago
I think he takes them up. Surprised by the negativity tbh. You’re eighth in the championship with the best team in the league and just hired a manager that’s proven he gets teams up
jameslloyd14.jl1w ago
He will get you up, guaranteed. But will he keep you up?
charlesjones1w ago
As a Fulham fan I have to say I feel very sorry for West Ham. Enjoy getting promoted this season because you will be hating next year
chillout1w ago
No West Ham fan is looking further than this season at the moment.
jonny1w ago
As far as Championship coaches go, you won’t find many better than Parker. Worry if he’s the man taking charge on a return o the premier league though!
brogan1w ago
I get it… but what’s the plan if West Ham go up? Surely he can’t take charge in the PL again
chillout1w ago
Getting promotion is worth £100m plus to West Ham. That’s the priority. Let’s worry about what comes next in the summer. Would be relatively cheap to ditch Parker if the Board thought that was the right move at that time.
chillout1w ago
I think the contract has been structured in a fairly smart way - basically until the end of the season unless he gets promotion. Then another 2 years. I know the jury is out on Parker in the Prem - but how supported was he by the likes of Fulham, Bournemouth and Burnley when he got them there ?
jordan.harris1w ago
Underwhelming! More depressing football and his ceiling is obvious
chillout1w ago
To be fair, Fulham spent just £21.5m on new players the summer he got them promoted. Bournemouth spent £23m. He did have £100m spent at Burnley, although net spend was £64.4m. And Burnley’s decline has continued into the Championship (they are currently in the relegation zone there too). So their issues aren’t Parker-related.
jonathan.gorrie1w ago
Great appointment, for now. Concerns over what he’d be like in the PL but sometimes you have to deal with the alligator closest to the boat and that’s the matter of getting promoted right away!
donaghcorby19971w ago
I wouldn’t be too concerned about the premier league just yet given the start mate 🤣🤣
dale.odonnell1w ago
Back in the dugout tonight. Fair play to Scott, hands on approach.
dale.odonnell1w ago
I know a West Ham fan or two who will be delighted with this news. 👀
