The Pardew, Moyes, Big Sam & Roy Hodgson appointments lack imagination. With so much at stake now in the over hyped epl, the chairmen revert back to 'old school' managers. You really have to wonder why because, apart from Hodgson, none of them have ever won anything. And you'd have to say none of them ever will.

In our case, I could understand why they dismissed Bilic: he seemed to have the weight of the world on his shoulders, and little idea of how to turn the team around. But as you say, there's absolutely no point making the change if you're going to replace him with a mediocre has-been.

ETA: what I find truly mystifying is when a club dismisses a manager and they don't have anyone else lined up.
Outside of the very few managers who can make a difference because of their knowledge and the personality to make teams consistently play better there are countless Ron Managers who are hired, fired, hired and fired again and hired and fired yet again. The financial differential between the handful of elite clubs and the rest mean that at least fourteen clubs start each season hoping to secure a Europa League place but fearing a relegation battle.

West ham have now a good deal less than a 50% chance of staying up, they're only one point above Palace who went the first seven games without a point or a goal. And by the time the next three fixtures are done they could be as far off the back as a third cat rider in a professional race. I can't remember the order they play Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal and I'm too frightened to look.
