Football Big Sam.....West Ham

[Sarinaide]

I don't know so much, I don't think the Hammers have Allardycesque type of players, this is going to get nasty real quick.

I'm still bitter over Tevez. Have they even played a game since '07?

If Carlton Cole is considered a striker then perhaps.

So Allardyce is running the "Academy of Football".

Pump up the longballs

Apparently, Tony Fernandes is making an offer to buy West Ham.
Presumably, if he fails, he'll buy Leyton Orient, move them to Upton Park when the other lot go to the Olympic Stadium and call them Team West Ham.

Middle East Lot-a-Ham.

Poor Hammers

Long ball football for West Ham next season.

It could be worse,...............Rafa Benitez

To be fair, he's won the Champions League and La Liga with a Third Option team!

I give him that, though perhaps not third option though! but Rafa fell off dramatically since then, and the Inter stint is proof of it.

Mourinho will always be a difficult man to follow!

Will Benitez take the Villa job.....can't see Chelsea taking him. Chelsea have left themselves with a tough order, who really is available that can come in an build from an aged side, I do agree with the ancellotti sack though, he would have turned chelsea into a retirement home.

True, at least Jose has masterminded the downfall of Barcelona twice (Champs league winners and Copa Del Rey) and it is something Sir Alex has not been able to achieve.

Isn't Gus Hidjik (approximate spelling) being lined up for the Chelsea job with Rafa being touted to replace him as Turkey coach?

Rafa likes Istanbul!

Sound interesting enough, and Roman has been chasing Hiddink for a few years now.......Heard Rafa linked with Turkey, though an interview on SSN says he is interested in a return to England with the "right" club which could be optimistic fishing or Aston villa is a decent enough choice.
