Oh indeed Simon. I recall the last time we were (and I hate this phrase, it's so oxymoronic) 'too good to go down' we went down with 42 points! But the rump end of the premiership is truly awful this season and I count us among that number.


It's weird, we're the best side in the bottom half I reckon, the odd performance against bigger teams has shown we have the potential to do better, so to agree with quids, the responsibilty has to lie with the manager. I don't actually think hammers fans are fickle at all, but we do need the right man vetting the team playing the right way, and as top bloke as he is, Zola ain't him.

Mick - do you think TM will walk? If not, I don't think you can afford to sack him... him and his team cost you close to ?3m to secure in the summer, and will have a fair old whack of compensation coming their way if you sack them??


Rangers were truly awful last night. As soon as I saw the line up, I knew we'd struggle. I think Walter Smith expected you to spank St Mirren, reduce the gap to 7, and then we have 2 very tough games in the SPL, so he took a gamble by resting the bigger players for the SPL, thinking our reserves should have enogh to beat Dundee Utd.

Gamble didn't pay off.

Do managers resign these days? Probably not.


Can they afford to sack him? - they can't afford to keep him, I'd say. Loss of gate receipts and european football all stacks up to a lot more than they need to pay to get rid of him.


If he sees it through today it probably means he will see out the season.


I can't imagine there will be a long queue to take the job either unless there is a significant trasnfer budget.


Moan and groan. :(


Maybe Rafa will be available soon.

No manager is going to resign if they are going to lose out financially and you can't blame them for that. The League Managers Association states that the average duration at a club is almost exactly two years (slightly higher in ther PL, but down to 1.5 years in Championship and League One). Can't be good for the game.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
