Ex-Chelsea and West Ham managers favourite for Portsmouth gig: Who should replace Adams?

by stresster on February 9th, 2009 1 comment

Tony Adams has once again failed as a football manager, with the Pompey board calling time on his three-month stint at Fratton Park. Many supporters continued to back the former Arsenal defender, especially after the team came so close to beating Liverpool on Saturday. However, a failure to win since November has made the powers-that-be understandably twitchy. [Read the rest of this entry »]

Is Tony Adams dead man walking at Portsmouth? This story would suggest so

by stresster on February 6th, 2009 4 comments

While the Pompey board have made all the right noises about backing Tony Adams, it’s almost inconceivable that they haven’t considered alternatives to the rookie manager. After all, the team are without a win since November and the former Wycombe gaffer seems clueless how to stop the current run of defeats which is threatening their Premier League status.

Was West Ham manager wrong to sign these players? It seems they contributed to his downfall

by stresster on September 4th, 2008 no comments

There are an increasing number of Premier League clubs where the board decide which players to sign and the manager just gets on with coaching the team. This has been in evidence at Newcastle since Kevin Keegan took over, while Phil Scolari leaves the bulk of transfer dealings to Peter Kenyon and Roman Abramovich at Chelsea. It also seemed to lead to the resignation of Alan Curbishley at West Ham, although it’s transpired that the board lost confidence in the manager’s ability to sign players.

Croatian manager ‘is overwhelming choice for West Ham United job’

by stresster on September 4th, 2008 4 comments

When a manager leaves a Premier League club, the bookmakers are always quick to price up some odds on who his replacement will be. Indeed, they got ahead of themselves by offering prices on the next Newcastle boss, although a day later they were able to get cracking on the West Ham gig instead. The man who was top of their list?

West Ham manager quits after club sell Ferdinand and McCartney: Was writing on wall anyway?

by Jon on September 3rd, 2008 3 comments

Alan Curbishley has resigned as manager of Premier League club West Ham United. Hot on the heels of yesterday’s King Kev shenanigans at the Toon, Curbishley tendered his resignation on Wednesday and it was accepted by West Ham owner Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson. [Read the rest of this entry »]

West Ham manager resigns: Who should come in as replacement?

by stresster on September 3rd, 2008 no comments

It looked as though Kevin Keegan was going to be the first Premier League manager out of job this season, although Alan Curbishley has beaten him to it by a whisker. The now-former West Ham gaffer has had his resignation accepted by the board, bringing a 17-month rollercoaster to an end and leaving the east London club looking for a replacement.

West Ham woe continues: Striker considering future while defender calls for manager to sort it out on the pitch

by stresster on August 29th, 2008 6 comments

While Alan Curbishley might claim that the Hammers board are firmly behind him, all the signs seem to indicate that the manager is living on borrowed time at the Boleyn Ground. Despite a winning start to their league campaign, West Ham have had two particularly performances, losing 3-0 at Man City before drawing 1-1 at home to Macclesfield in the Carling Cup.

Sunderland defender claims West Ham United pulled plug on new deal

by stresster on August 28th, 2008 no comments

When Bobby Zamora left West Ham for Fulham earlier this summer, he claimed that it wouldn’t be the only departure from the club, with plenty of others to follow. Although there’s not been an exodus, it’s looking increasingly likely that the Hammers board are now strapped for cash – or at least unprepared to invest any more money into the club.

West Ham manager leading the sack race – with Everton, Liverpool and Man City counterparts close behind

by stresster on August 28th, 2008 2 comments

Who will be the first Premier League manager to be sacked this season? Last term, it was Jose Mourinho who unexpectedly left his post first, although it’s pretty safe to assume that Phil Scolari will not be walking away from Stamford Bridge anytime soon. However, there are already one or two gaffers looking over their shoulders after just a handful of matches. [Read the rest of this entry »]

West Ham fans told they’re not helping the club

by stresster on August 28th, 2008 4 comments

It’s no secret that Alan Curbishley is the bookmaker’s favourite in their Premier League ‘Sack Race’ market, something that no manager wants to win. West Ham’s 4-1 victory over Macclesfield has done little to end speculation that the Hammers boss is living on borrowed time, especially as the Premier League outfit trailed for most of the match and only made certain of the win in extra-time.

West Ham defender left for Sunderland ‘due to £50,000 a week wage demands’

by stresster on August 27th, 2008 no comments

There’s two sides to every story and, while Roy Keane talks about his latest signing stepping up to the next level at Sunderland, those at West Ham claim that the defender’s extortionate wage demands were to blame for the player leaving. [Read the rest of this entry »]
