I do however, strongly disagree and think Pards is the right man fo us. We are a club who gives managers a chance and don't change them everytime the club have a slump. Yes the start of the season was poor but I watched us at Chelsea and against blackburn and the gooners and we battled and showed character. I believe that character comes form Alan Pardew. I really hope he makes you eat your words by leading us into a briht future.

CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM (U1719869) posted Nov 22, 2006 Sorry, Hammerbod, do you watch the same West Ham as the rest of us? Pards made good use of limited funds, getting in Mullins, Zamora, Harewood, Etherington, Benayoun, Gabbidon - all of whom have proved themselves more than capable at Premiership level, then as soon as decent money was provided bought Ashton (whilst other teams ummed and erred about him) who is absolute quality. In addition he transformed a lazy and divded dressing room into a very tight-knit unit. Form comes and goes, class is permanent and Pards is class. Come on you Irons!

hammerboygreeny (U6737937) posted Nov 29, 2006 The arrival of The Eggman can only be a good thing surely?!?! i mean Brown didn't have a clue, all he wanted from West Ham was profit, sold all our bright young stars and never took the club forward! thank god the take over went through, onwards and upwards!

TARKABLOWPIG (U6722203) posted Nov 30, 2006 For pity's sake give Pardew a break - we don't need a big name manager, we just need to support a good manager who I believe could one day go onto coach England. he has made good signings with a mixture of youth and experience. he hasn't had to spend big, although he may well do now, but I bet he'll look at bringing in young English players to the club (ie SWP)not those fostered onto him!
