2,500 posts by the end of the season?

Claret & Booze still pushing the Redknapp shit, such an embarrassing channel.

He is known for attacking football and has used that in quite a few successful relegation fights. I am ok to see if he helps. Difficult to see us sacking Nuno with these appointments, but anything is possible I guess.

Just based off what is said at managing recent Clubs such as Tractor FC and Ibiza for the last 5 years? 

I might have genuinely missed it but I'm not even sure he's ever been an Assistant Coach to someone before. 

His CV is pretty grim reading when you scratch beneath the surface of the promise of attacking Football and that it's just a new face walking through the door. They're beginning to go off again for me..

You make a valid point.

For what it's worth Nuno and Paco Jemez were teammates at Deportivo La Coruna for just ONE season in the 1997-98 campaign.

Just how much of a rapport they were able to build up during that time is questionable but there it is.

Paco is well known for attacking football but a lot of his managerial stints have ended in underwhelming fashion despite talking a good game and showing promise at the beginning of his various tenures. He is a bit spiky when things start to unravel.

He once played a season with him almost 30 years ago?! Not laughing at you, it's just the thought of it all. His CV is littered with unimpressive stints struggling a lot of the time. At 55 you'd have thought his CV would be half decent by now and not scratching around managing the likes of Ibiza and Tractor FC for the last 5 years. Still, BS know best.

His best work was during a 4 year spell at Rayo Vallecano (Madrid's 3rd club) where he did really well despite working with an almost non-existent budget. That was between 2012-16. Apart from that he has underwhelmed more often than not including a couple of very disappointing spells at his hometown club Las Palmas in the Canary Islands. He has a reputation for not allowing hairs to grow on his tongue as they like to say in Spain. Basically somebody who is blunt and to the point when expressing themselves.

He had 1 fairly good season first season in charge then mediocre then got them relegated during that period leading to him getting the boot. They were 15th still in La Liga before he took them over. If that's the best he can do all that time ago..

More attacking football.

This Spanish Farm Manager we've just decided to plonk on to Nuno has a distinct whiff of Sullivan although could be wrong. Considering he's absolutely polls apart in footballing philosophy to Nuno this could be the sort of thing Sullivan wants to see pushed believing it would have the desired effect in a blatant attempt for Nuno to think positively towards more attacking play. Obviously done in a typical Sullivan cack handed blunt cheap way and more of a desperate attempt to change Nuno's negative ways. Feels far too random and late in the day having never worked with him before to feel like it's something Nuno has pushed.

If he really wanted to work with his own men he'd previously worked with before, this would have been done on day 1 when I first raised it as proper odd to work with all our 2nd rate Academy coaches. And Nuno just goes along with it all because he only cares about the sunset and will go along with anything Sullivan says as long as he keeps sending him the big monthly cheques (with interest now of the 2 Mendes signings also under the table/envelopes shared).

Fortunately my sources ( ) confirm he has learnt the English words that he feels are essential to his role at West Ham. 

“you’re shit”
”stop hiding you cowardly cvnt” 

He sounds like he understands whats needed?

He was also a half decent centre back in his playing days...He played for Deportivo and Zaragoza when both were at the peak of their powers in the late 90's/noughties in Spanish Football.

A proper dude.

His win % at Tractor & Ibiza was pretty decent………

I’m IN.

You've got to love him being mad as a box of frogs, and his last 2 clubs being TRACTOR and IBIZA.

I think this cսnt is a bit of us.

can we just give him the managers job for a laugh?

Oh jeez! 
Speaking as somebody who is half Spanish I can provide some background info on Paco Jemez.

He is very forthright and won't hesitate to call somebody out for being a useless cսnt if he doesn't feel like they are pulling their weight. Whether he can translate that to English I don't really know the answer.

But yes, he does favour front foot, swashbuckling football so there is that for what it's worth.

Tractor FC ... Yeah, I'm out. Apt for us though as we currently belong playing in the Farmers League.

Only at West Ham do we reward badly failing managers with even more time, expensive players and new coaches off the back of a horrendous 10 game winless streak - 11 if we only included up to normal time.

Joke Club.
