Will remain as manager of West Ham and be given a £20M transfer kitty!

The only reason I like him is because he is fucking West ham up. Up the lions.

The lions ok mate.
Always nice to have one team jealous of us, considering we've been shit.

I know. My best mate family are all die hard West ham fans. The grief I have gotten since we was kids is unreal. I know your having a shit streak but you do play well.

It actually bores me to watch west ham play. Much rather be on my phone, browsing match day and waiting for johnny J to start fights.

They are absolutely honking to watch and always will be under him but you are guaranteed Premiership safety. They've stuck rather than twisted.

The fucking wage he's on has their hands tied I'd imagine. A £20m transfer kitty?!?! Can easily afford Kevin Davies and a few other league one level players for that amount
Cue another season of disgruntled fans every match then

Could buy lukaku for 20m that will solve all your issues
Hope we( Everton) find the funds for him though

Read somewhere that he has to get a top 10 finish or something?

Yes, but what good is that? We weren't far off a top 10 finish this year, but for over half the season, we were in a relegation battle.
4 straight wins just papered over the cracks.
Andy Carroll does seem to be a major threat in some games, but goes missing in others. It doesn't help that we sit back a lot and invite pressure, rather than attempt to get men forward.

Carroll isn't the problem. He's got no one playing off of him. There's no point him winning everything in the air of there's no one supporting him... Which you insinuated in the second half of the post

Nolan does on occasion, but they need someone a bit more attacking minded to sit in behind Carroll and actually take the gamble from his flick ons. I've never seen the man lose one yet, but nobody wants to take the risk and nip in behind.

Anything other than a spot in Europe is a poor season. Like ourselves.

Exactly, they need a quick clever striker to play off him. I've grown to hate Nolan, the guy is a cunt

Mind you, I think half the team are championship quality, so need much more than just that to get into the top half

Exactly that, eck.
Why can us amateurs see that but not this fat ogre of a manager?

End of the day, they can't afford to get relegated. They need to exist as a premier league team. Big Sam guarantees that.

precisely that. after 2016, then they can be picky and that but in the meantime, they desperately need to stay in the PL
