I can't believe Bruce Forsyth has been overlooked.

Look at it this way ,although Zola may lack managerial experience he will get on well with Nani and whose to say if we have more injuries he could be persuaded to come off the bench.As we have seen money cant buy success and on the face of it lack of it cant buy a good manager either.Lets hope we get Steve Clarke as part of the package.

Whoever it is he is going to need a extremely thick skin onsidering how West Ham "fans" have treated Curbishley and Roeder on his return as Newcastle manager!!

That aside i would plump for Bilic only because it would distract him from his International duties..apart from that i could not care less for you hammers

This is a West Ham thread. We really don't care what you think.

When the initial shortlist was released, Zola was quite honestly furthest from my mind. Bilic or Mancini were quite obviously the stand out candidates.

However, as more and more people have distanced themselves from the job, we have seemingly been left with only one candidate, Gianfranco Zola. However, the more I listen to him and, the more my initial 'Least Favoured Option' fills me with a sense of excitement and optimism.

The Chelsea history is irrelevant. Zola is a passionate and loyal individual; a gentleman, with a penchant for flair and attacking football. The perfect man for West Ham. All pitted against his blatant inexperience.

Zola, is by no means the safe option, but is certainly one that offers 'something different', a new twist on the rollercoaster that is being a West Ham fan.

At first his name represented a nightmare. Now I think the boy might well do good.

I just hope we snap him up before Newcastle realise just how good a candidate he really is for...

'His biggest task may be to take charge of the dressing room, and ensure diverse characters such as Lucas Neill, DAVID BELLAMY and Dean Ashton are truly united and playing well together.'

Can't imagine ol' Dave Bellamy causing too much of a stir, (although I have heard he has quite a sweet left foot for a 75 year old)

No, but he could sure tell you how to run around on the grass efficiently and look after the place a bit better!
