Six-month deal. That shows how badly Moyes wanted the job, and also how uncertain West ham are about giving him it.
Bilic gets the boot

So you are in the shit down at the bottom and you sack your manager and then you appoint a man whose last job was exactly the same circumstances at Sunderland and he took them down like a stone. Remarkable decision. I guess he's waiting for Everton to come calling in the summer. Fingers crossed!
I suppose he has better players at West Ham and will also get some funds. So maybe it's not quite all doom and gloom.
There's been lots of chat about how far the team run (not very) and being bottom of various stats that would suggest fitness and/or motivation issues - at the very least a new manager who "does discipline" can improve that.
It's hard to say what will happen, because it surely can't get any worse: they're already in the bottom 3.
But I'm sure most Hammers could think of quite a few managers they would have preferred to Moysie.
I wonder if he'll call West Ham "The London People's Club"
Not that I'm here to speak for Brady, Gold and the porno king but TBH I'd be surprised if Moyes wasn't 4th or 5th choice even on their list. Beggars can't be choosers.
As far as the bitters are concerned, Allardyce seems to have changed his mind about preferring the USA job, the betting now is he'll become their manager and, though I can't stand the fat git, I expect him to keep them up. He's done it with worse squads, including with West Ham themselves.

I think he'd be a very good manager for West Ham if he was given time. I don't see him as an impact manager, but given a couple of years to build a squad I think he has proven enough in his time at Everton that he knows what works in the PL.
If I were him i'd be shitting myself about how to turnaround a club in such disarray. He also has an awful run of games between now and the end of Dec.

Moyes was, at best, fourth or fifth choice, after West Ham approached Ancelotti (hahahaha), Mancini (hahaha), Pellegrini (haha) and Benitez (ha).
Allardyce is also not thought to be Everton's first choice, with the usual high-minded delirium that one often associates with Everton, leading to being linked to names like Ancelotti (again), Pellegrini (again), Watford's Silva and the perennial Sean Dyche.
He's winning trophies, managing in the CL and Europa league, adored by the fans and is making history up there.
Not to mention he's Irish and has a strong love for Celtic.
I don't see him giving West Ham a 2nd thought.
TalkSh!te, in the oleaginous person of Jim White (who keeps claiming the inside track on matters Evertonian via Moshiri himself), was saying earlier that an approach was made for Marco Silva in the Watford boardroom after they played Everton recently, and that Unsworth was present at the time.
Valid Points, but how long is it fun to be 7 and still in the kindergarden bullying the 2 and 3 year old kids around due to size alone.....
Not sure why they would travel all the way to Watford to have the meeting there, I think it would've been closer to have had it in the Everton boardroom due to the game being played at Goodison 🙂
Be a bit cheeky to borrow the Watford boardroom in order to offer the Watford manager the Everton job
I was listening to the radio yesterday and apparently (according to a poll in some fanzine) 95% of West Ham fans would appoint Pardew before Moyes. Now given that Pardew was sacked after the worst run of results the Hammers had experienced in 70 years, including 3 wins from 18 games and a run of 8 straight defeats, that doesn't bode well for Moyes' popularity amongst those Happy Hammers.
Either I misheard (which is entirely possible as I wasn't exactly sitting there taking notes) or Jim White was talking through his sphincter, which is par for the course.
West Ham fans place Scots somewhere below ISIS in popularity.
24th February 2018 will be the next time it happens, mark it in your diaries
I feel sorry for Bilic, deserves better from the players I think.... strange bunch the Hammers...
It's interesting that few, if any, of their supporters seem to blame Bilic for the problems they're having. Practically to a man (or woman) they blame the board.
The owners are easy to dislike/ distrust and Bilic is the opposite.
Plus they were behind the move to the new stadium, which many were delighted with and assumed it would start their reign as Kings Of London, until they got there and didn't like it, so now that's the owners' fault too.
It's not like they haven't given Bilic money, but the problem is that they're not exactly quiet about giving managers money, and that's also been a source of irritation and embarrassment, as their "inteference" is seen as undermining whatever manager they have.
It’s weird really considering I lived in London for 8 years where most of my pals were Gooners and most of the taxis I ever hopped in were driven by rampantly racist Hammers fans but... I’ve always quite liked West Ham somehow... not that I would have a second team because that is just perverted...
Bilic came across really well in interview and clearly gave a shit about what was happening to the club in his interviews... I’m not surprised the fans don’t hate him to be honest and the shitty businessmen in charge clearly don’t give a fuck. I wish they would have sacked him after next game so that it wasn’t our fault he got booted.
Lots of ambition there but no clue how to do it.
My first footie shirt was a Hammers shirt. So I have some kind of sympaty for them. And I like Bilic. But of course a club With Pardew, Fat Sam and Arry.... Nope.
That'll all change very quickly. Moyes will be in the shit with the fans from day one.
Maybe that was why the dildo bros hired him.
Yeah, fire a manager and employ the one managing the team below you
With you on that. Take your free stadium and your bubbles and fuck off.
Delete thread.
Woke up this morning feeling a bit pissed off then remembered West Ham had appointed Moyes. Now smiling.
