Statement by Chairmen
|
|
It is with disappointment and heavy hearts that we have made the decision to relieve Slaven Bilic of his duties as West Ham United manager.
Since joining the Club in the summer of 2015, Slaven has conducted himself throughout with honesty and integrity, and shown great determination and commitment to the role.
In his first season - our final campaign at the Boleyn Ground - he led the team to a memorable finish that no Hammers fan will ever forget, and gave us a 3-2 victory against Manchester United in our final home game there that will go down in West Ham United history.
During the summer, the Board invested heavily signing the players Slaven believed would complete the squad he needed to push the Club back towards the level we had reached in his first season, and we believe we have the players capable of doing that.
Sadly, performances and results have not been of the expected standard and, in recent weeks, we have not seen enough indication of the required improvement to give us the encouragement that things would change and we would meet our Premier League aspirations this season.
As custodians of the Football Club it is our responsibility as a Board to do what is best for West Ham United, and we believe a change is now necessary to ensure we can begin to move the team back in the right direction.
We see this as an exciting opportunity to appoint a quality manager to the position to inject fresh ideas, organisation and enthusiasm into a very talented squad.
We would like to thank Slaven for his efforts and wish him all the very best in his future endeavours. He will always be welcome at London Stadium, as a former player and manager who always gave everything for the Club. We would also like to place on record our sincere thanks to the team of coaches that assisted him.
We will now focus our entire efforts on bringing in the manager we believe can get the best out of the current squad of players and steer the Club towards the top half of the table as quickly as possible.

Surely that rules out Moyes then?

During the summer the board sold loads of players, lied about a 1 in 1 out policy and refused to go through with a deal for the one player the manager really wanted, then hung him out to dry for turning down other players because he foolishly believed the board would actually do their job and sort the carvalho deal
The board left the manager with a depleted squad with some expensive players and a pointless vanity signing in goal, but no strength in depth.
But the board are very happy to have kept the £40m carvalho money in their high interest savings account and have been happy swimming around in the funds like Scrooge mcduck, watching their pot of money every increase from the inemterest in the loans they want the club too.
The board are currently speaking to two top managers Alex McLeish and David moyes, as they feel slacken was just too upbeat.

"responsibility as a Board to do what is best for West Ham United".
So you moved us into an arena not fit for football, not fit for a football experience. The prospect of a rented ground dazzled you.
Don't try and fool us. You moved us purely for YOUR financial reasons.

During the summer they simply moved on the absolute rubbish that was brought in the previous summer and winter transfer windows...

Our owners are a laughing stock. They blatantly lie to us. Invested heavily? What was the net spend again? £13m I think. They said the bid for Carvalho was 35M+ but the proof shown in the e-mail they published was £25m payable in three annual instalments of £8.33m. Before the Brighton game Sullivan said live on Sky that 95% of the fans were happy with the Stadium. Not sure where that figure was plucked from. It is very concerning that these deluded individuals run our club and every lie they tell deepens the wound and every decision they make is the incorrect one to take us forward. God help us all.

When will they ever tell it as it is.
Do what is best for the club, invested heavily plus their profile for the new manager certainly isn't Moyes. I would like to believe this is simply an effort to deflect attention away from the real target but I won't hold my breath.

After signing Hernandez and Arnatovic the board were patting themselves on the back thinking they had delivered.
We needed a defensive midfielder and another pacy wide player especially after selling so many players.
It was obvious last season that we had a lack of pace and power in the team and this was not addressed.
As bad as Bilic has been and we have definately underperformed with the players we do have, the board have to take a lot of blame as well.

Sociopaths. Incapable of writing a simple "thanks and goodbye" piece with some self-aggrandising. Staggering myopic arrogance.

Cornish,
Ogbonna has been capped by Italy and Cresswell by England.
Fonte and Zabaleta are both experienced internationals who have won trophies and Reid is viewed as our best defender.
I find it hard to believe that a decent manager couldn't come in and work with that lot.

Even in this they have to try and slyly shift the blame - Slaven was responsible for all the signings. Well then, let's see what happens in January shall we? The strategy should markedly improve then shouldn't it, if he was the only problem? It's put up or shut up time now, and if they appoint Moyes then the whple world will see the extent of their ambition no matter how many PR efforts they put out.
The last game at the Boleyn line seems peculiar too. I can't quite say why, but it's almost as if they're still patting themselves on the back for making it a great success when it was actually fuck all to do with them and their fireworks show and everything to do with the fans and the team on the pitch and the history of the ground that I still don't think they understood. It's almost as if it should have had 'commemorative DVDs are still available' in brackets after it.
