I have to say I thought he'd be gone. It looks like Sullivan/Gold are spineless (irrespective of cost to get rid of him).

BBC Website


"West Ham manager Sam Allardyce retains the backing of the club's owners despite the humiliating League Cup semi-final defeat by Manchester City.


BBC Sport has learned that David Gold and David Sullivan were not swayed by the result at the Etihad, despite large sections of the travelling support appearing to turn on the manager.


West Ham continue to work hard in the transfer market and are hopeful of adding two or three new players in the coming days.


The first arrival could yet be Monaco striker Lacina Traore, who could arrive on loan if he is granted a work permit at a hearing next Monday."



It's strange, I generally want clubs to give managers time, and stick with them rather than sacking them after a few bad results, but in this case, he just looks so out of touch with reality.

Part of the reality is that WHU have suffered big time with injuries, in particular the centre half dept (I can think of 3) IMO it's the most important position on the park, even City have struggled when Kompany has been out. Maybe the Board think these are mitigating circumstances to at least wait until some of the injured players come back and see if that makes a difference...

You're right RD but the problems started a long long time before the injuries - right about when Downing was signed and no striker was.


I feel too that Cardiff is last chance but worry that - by law of averages or Cardiff having a bad day - a win will prolong the agony - and yet I want a win - and yet that'll keep him at the club - but I want a win - it's a footy catch 22.


I accept a new man may not keep us up but at least the rebuild could start earlier.



'bout now's earlier post sums it up for me.

Really? Pardew's record is only 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, even Moyes' record is slightly better with 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses.

Semantics really, as Pellegrini should get it with 6 wins and a draw. I'd give special mention to Pullis, 3 wins out of 6 for the then bottom club is good going...

Is this real or a spoof?

"But I?m not built like that. I may be a modern man in terms of utilising technology and the latest techniques but I have traditional values when it comes to life."


It's giving me a chuckle in any case

      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" ?

      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."
