His record last time wasnt mind blowing

L, D, L, L, W, D, W, L, D, W, D, W, D, D, L, W, L, L, L, W, D, D, L, L, W, D, W

Wins: Chelsea(H), Stoke(A), WBA(H), Huddersfield(A), Watford(H), Southampton(H), Leicester(A) and Everton(H)

Some decent draws to be fair.

33pts from 27 games, a possible 81 points.

They have, under Pellegrini, made the squad even less Moyes-like IMO, so Im interested to see how it goes.

Expect some new manager bounce over the next few games, at least committment/effort wise - but its not an easy run so far as results are concerned:

January
Bournemouth (H)
Gillingham (A) Fa Cup
Sheff Utd (A)
Everton (H)

February doesnt look great either, couple of six pointers and a couple of thrashings:

Our View: Brady's 2015 comments on Tottenham now make West Ham a laughing stock
West Ham are in dire straits at the moment.

The Hammers are currently sitting in 17th spot in the Premier League table, just one point clear of the drop zone.

They have just sacked Manuel Pellegrini and replaced the Chilean with David Moyes.

And West Ham fans are not happy.

The Hammers’ current situation is a far cry from what they were promised when they moved to the London Stadium three-and-a-half years ago.

The east London club’s move to the 60,000 seater London Stadium was supposed to coincide with a new era of success.

But as thing’s stand, they have actually gone backwards.

West Ham’s vice-chairman Karren Brady was one of the main cheerleaders when the Hammers moved to their new home.

In 2015, just six months before the east Londoners made their move to the London Stadium, Brady wrote in her column for the Sun how they would now have ‘bragging rights’ over Tottenham:

“Many Hammers fans regard Spurs as their rival and as they waged a campaign to wrest the Olympic Stadium rights from us, I didn’t regard them as friends. Boris Johnson said we have been an integral part of delivering a massive social and economic legacy from the Olympic and Paralympic Games in east London. Of course we want to beat Spurs tomorrow, but the London Mayor’s praise is worthier bragging rights.”

Ill-advised comments now make Hammers a laughing stock

Quite frankly, those comments are absolutely embarrassing. And they make West Ham a laughing stock amongst not only Tottenham fans, but the rest of the league.

Spurs have really kicked on over the past three or four years, whilst the Hammers continue to flounder.

The Lilywhites also have a magnificent new stadium of their own now – one that West Ham fans are surely envious of.

Most Hammers fans miss the days of Upton Park. The London Stadium does not feel like home at all. It’s soulless and lacks any kind of atmosphere or identity.

There surely won’t be any Tottenham fans who are jealous of West Ham’s current situation.

I have two issues with that, have they really gone backwards? Their “natural position” is in the second tier, and, Brady didn’t make them a laughing stock, they’ve always been one.

I’ve watched them a couple of times lately, I don’t think commitment or effort has been an issue, it’s that all of their players are brick.

And this is just page 1...
Many of them can't work out why it went so wrong when Pellegrini is clearly a good manager.

None of them appear to understand the problem is entirely one of expectation. Finishing anywhere in the top 10 of the Championship to the bottom 5 of the PL is par. Above that is massively overachieving.
 
You can't blame their fans for having high expectations for their team, we spent enough years drifting mid table and occasionally flirting with relegation yet I never gave up the hope we would reach the heights we have reached. As long as I've been going to football they have been a well supported club who try to play good football. They have suffered from poor management at board level and the current stewards will not improve the situation, but they are a club who could do well if the right people came along and bought them.
 
Yeah. There were a couple of posters who were convinced that it would move them financially past us and success on the pitch would follow.

I'm going to have to find them now.

What are there ticket prices like? Still cheap? Even though we have a huge debt, I bet we make more from our ground even once you minus debt repayments a year than they do in ticket sales and whatever else they get to keep.

Imagine the atmosphere at the taxpayers stadium in the Championship.

They start cheaply yes
They want to go to 66k, 66k as it’s the same year they won the World Cup obviously !!

Attendance is down. If you want a truly depressing read, head over to Kumb and read a few pages of their stadium thread. Here are the last few days.

The West Ham fan backlash has begun - good luck, David Moyes, you're going to need it
The West Ham board made the bold decision to sack Manuel Pellegrini and bring back the manager they binned 18 months ago in Moyes

By
Matt Lawless
Head of Digital Sport

David Moyes is back at West Ham. And the backlash on the board has already begun.

Before the Scot is paraded on New Year’s Day, many are already talking up a boycott. Lots are saying they won’t renew their season tickets. And almost everyone is pointing the problems of the club squarely at three people: David Sullivan, David Gold and Karren Brady.

Shortly before the lights went out on the Boleyn Ground, ‘Mr West Ham’ made an emphatic statement to the supporters.

“This club ain’t run like a circus anymore.”

Fast forward three-and-a-half years and Mark Noble‘s message is now a meme. For all the wrong reasons.

Like it or not, struggling West Ham are the laughing stock of the Premier League - and their unpopular hierarchy are duly branded ‘clowns’ by the disgruntled masses.

Their quick-fire decision to reappoint Moyes on a one-and-a-half year deal has not gone down well at all with the disenfranchised East End faithful. Even former TOWIE star Mark Wright has had a pop on Twitter.

The former Manchester United boss was seemingly deemed not good enough for the job 18 months ago. Now he’s back.

For many ardent fans, it is the latest saga in a catalogue of errors since Sullivan and Gold completed their takeover of the club back in January 2010.

They promised grand dreams of Champions League football. Yet they were relegated.

They promised an elite stadium that would be viewed as one of the best in the world. Yet they delivered an athletics arena with temporary seating and scaffolding.

The list goes on. And the vitriol of discontent levelled towards them will inevitably rise again if Moyes fails to get off to a good start or, even worse, fails to keep the club in the Premier League.

And it won’t be easy either. The Hammers host fellow strugglers Bournemouth before playing Sheffield Utd (away), Everton (home), Leicester (away) and Liverpool (home) in January. That’s before facing Brighton at home and trips to Emirates Marketing Project and Liverpool in February.

On current form - just two wins in 13 league games - it’s hard to see where West Ham’s next victory will come from.

But they have opted for Moyes because he is the ‘safe’ option. He knows the club and he knows the players. The expectation is that he will pick up from where he left off.

That was a 13th place finish after inheriting a team in the drop zone.

This time round, West Ham are a point off the relegation places. Yet the task that awaits the 56-year-old boss certainly seems more daunting.

Moyes, for all his critics, is a good manager. He has 15 years of Premier League experience alone and should bring in a proven backroom set-up. He will want to run the rule over the current squad - a squad considered by many pundits at the start of the season to be capable enough of challenging the top six elite - before he looks at the market. An energetic midfielder who can provide a presence in the engine room will be the priority while an injection of pace is needed too.

For me, a West Ham season ticket holder, he is a good manager for a club like ours. I truly hope the fans will get behind him.

He just isn’t the type of “next level” manager the fans were promised they would get when they left for pastures new. And so, it is clear now more than ever before that their owners are running out of ideas. Bringing Moyes back smacks of absolute desperation. Relegation to the Championship is unfathomable.

‘Clowns’. ‘Clueless’. Those are just the printable phrases being used to describe the club’s owners by fed-up supporters on social media.

Whether the returning Moyes is a success or not, the majority of supporters have simply had enough of those running the club.

So, it begs the question: is it time for them to sell up?

In 10 years of ownership there has been a consistent pattern of failure. Managers have come and gone (and come back). Star players have sulked and left. Fans have rioted. And in 40 years the club has still not won a single trophy (sorry, but the Intertoto Cup doesn’t really count).

Until the structure changes from top to bottom, the circus will continue.

Right now it is one big joke. And the smiles are definitely not on West Ham faces.

Very best of luck to you, David Moyes. You will need it.

So the West Ham board let him go when he saved them from relegation because they were too big for the likes of him. Now they realise that they belong together.

They have suffered from poor management at board level and the current stewards will not improve the situation, but they are a club who could do well if the right people came along and bought them.
They've never been anything but a tiny club though - their expectations are way out of line with anything they've achieved historically.

Even when we were complete brick we were often referred to as sleeping giants.
