Here we go.....another Manager loses his job.

He got them promoted (after twice reaching the play-offs) took them to an FA Cup final and led them to 9th in the Premier League...

"Chairman Eggert Magnusson and the board feel it is the right time to make a change in the club's best interests." yet, just two weeks ago he said..."The Mananger has my total support"

...so what more did he have to do to keep his job?

Would you have sacked him?

I would have given him half a dozen more games, with the results of those saving/losing his job. Therefore, I would have given him a chance to get some points on the board. There must be someone lined up to fill his boots.

Look at Charlton....What have they gained by sacking Dowie? :blink:

The way West Ham saw it though....January transfer window is opening soon...do we give a manager who is currently failing more transfer funds and we may be in a worse position and so have to sack him. The new manager may then not like the players brought in...or make a change no. Im not sure which is the right option, you cant say he hasnt been backed with money though, just a shame for him that Ashton (the main striker) has been injured this season. With him they would be further up the league no doubt.

I wonder is Mr Curbishley will get the job? Being an ex player he must be a major contender as we all know the Hammers like to keep it in house.

my opinion:

he managed a team that took part in the best fa cup final possibily of my time, took a below performing west ham up from championship, kept them there, attracted big names <occassionally on dubious terms> and fought for the fans respect from day one, and maybe never truely won them all over?

shouldn't be unemplyed too long you'd think?
