Your favourite West Ham United manager?
|
With Bilic starting so well it made me think about who is actually my favourite all time manager. Remember I am only 26 so not much to choice from but... Apart from that little spell under Brooking it has to be Alan Pardew - took us to a cup final and getting up promoted was brilliant. I have a feeling Bilic could overtake him though.

Which manager was it who apparently invented the wing backs?

John Lyall was my first, and therefore I have my fondest memories of his tenure. It's a bit like who your first James Bond was as a kid. They'll always be Bond to you.

Couldn't have put it any better myself, Sven son.

All I've read about Greenwood is despite being a top coach,he just couldn't handle players properly, and man management is an important part of the job. So Lyall gets my vote, though Harry gets some praise for bringing some excitement and good football back to the club,though his dodgy ways certainly count against him.

John Lyall was a God like figure to me when I was a kid. 'Nuff said.
Shame I was calling for his head on a plate though once I had grown up :-)

Enjoyed my younger years watching Harry Redknapps West Ham United.
Although I detest the bloke now.

Was happiest watching the hammers when we had Morley, Bishop, Slater, Dicks etc, so even though he obviously wasn't the best manager, Bonzo's time was when I loved football and wouldn't miss a game home or away for anything (also going into Harry's reign the backstabbing cunt).
I only like it now, so poor old Bilic could win the league and he still wouldn't get my vote even though I think the man is superb.
