He has just joined as asst coach and i could not be happier if not a bit surprised he has decided to take a step back from the main mans role at a football club.....His wealth of experience and knowledge of the lower leagues is going to be a massive boost to the coaching staff and for Moyes in particular...i also liked the style of football he had his clubs play...Look what he did on a nothing budget at QPhaa and they have seen fit to let him go they are mad who do they think they can get to help them next season? i know a few QPhaa fans(yeah i no they are rare)and they are well pissed off at this.

One other thing about Mark is i am pretty sure he worked with Benny before he left for Rangers if so that may help him get better and be more productive for the team if Moyes keeps him.
All in all this is one addition to the backroom staff i am very happy with.

We're going to regret that. Brilliant signing for them. And only £10 million allegedly.

Soucek pissed off Moyes not willing to budge on what the player wants or IMO deserves so if Moyes can get the money he will sell him......meanwhile the misfiring Benni and the disaster that is Vlasic both on more money than Soucek and yet Soucek is the one being ushered to the door Quickly WTF is going on in Moyes head and i believe it is this kind of decision making that could be the end of him......Rice/Bowen could well be on there way this summer if neither are impressed with whoever comes in....but as i mentioned before IMO i see a lot of ex Everton players coming our way....rumours of Keane already started and hearing that Delph and FFs i hope not but Cenk Tosun both available on a free i am anticipating a disaster of monumental proportions coming and it just need not be.

I hope and pray Moyes and co have a few big surprises up there sleeves but this is one long suffering hammer who does not believe it will happen.

Champons league pfff who honestly cares...i had the day of yesterday:-) and after a bit of gardening and catching up on jobs i did not know needed doing(all us married guys no what i mean!)i sat down for a feast of football....the Wrexham Grimsby national league playoff semi final was one of the best games of football i have seen in a long time it had everything and without the use of VAR it was a total joy to watch officials mistakes and all what a cracking game of football in front of loyal passionate supporters of both clubs it finished 4-5 to Grimsby and may i ad that Grimsby played away at Notts county monday night went to extra time and won so they could play Wrexham and they had to do the same yesterday but no mention of the players being tired etc funny that.The league two play off final may of had a one sided result with Port Vale winning 3-0 but again a cracking game of football in front of a passionate crowd.....then last nights offering in the champions league it did not compare i'm afraid IMO and todays championship playoff final in a packed Wembley should be a great match who will win its to close to call but give me a playoff game anyday over a champions league game.

Just how long does it take to sign a player? yes i understand it is not like going to buy a new car but come on how long? look at villa they have identified who they want and got them already same as the bindippers so if they can do it why can't we?.

Nayef Aguerd allegedly been in talks and close to signing and yet nothing appears to of happened why?you hear the excuses like the transfer windows not open yet the players still under contract until end of June etc etc......well those are just technicallities you cannot tell me that footballers there agents and managers at clubs not already ironed out those creases ready to make the deal so all sides happy from the selling club to the buying club and the player.

We always seem to be treading water and yes whilst the seasons only been over a week if you stand still for a moment is this game your opponents will steal things right from under your nose so come on lets be a bit more lively.

I could not believe what i was hearing on various talk shows yesterday just what are some Fans thinking?.
Moyes dragged us up out of the mire and has turned us into a very good premier league side that has qualified for europe through the league two season running thats as rare as rocking horse manure!.
Don't get me wrong Moyes has plenty of faults and his biggest is dithering on big decisions during the match or deciding on transfers that has to stop....he has made it known he has the final and only say on transfers but for me that is a weakness he needs to trust his staff and listen more.

Take yesterdays match it was poor from both sides from the start but being a side who could qualify for the Europa league we just looked like bags packed and feet up on the beach...We scored out of nothing and then second half Moyes had clearly decided to protect that leadinstead of going in search for a killer second we got steamrolled by players and a manager who were much better on the day.

Potter took his defensive midfielder off Maupay striker was on and just like last week the opposition got instant rewards and deservedly ran out winners....Moyes in the meantime was playing pocket billiards and instead of impacting the game with a tactical switch and subs he let the game go on and to anyone watching it was inevitable what was going to happen and making subs so late in the day it was laughable.

Moyes out Potter in? thats a debate for another time but considering the resources we have compared to those of Brighton who finished just 5 points behind us maybe it is a debate that will soon gather momentum if Moyes spitting of the dummy after the game is anything to go by.

Reading it at the moment on hol,says everything about a proper old school fan...brilliant read about a westham legend highly recommend

Unlike a lot of people on here i for one would not sell Soucek or Coufal for starters yes they have not played as well as they can at times but Vlad had hernia op and then after 5/6 weeks try to play elite level football come on as for Soucek he IMO was forced to stay back so Dec could become more Prominent in the middle of the park a mistake? well when it takes away a players impact throughout the season then for me yes it was.

Fab and Areola clearly keep both but swap there roles for next season and make Areola our starter......Dawson/Ogbonna keep and rotate Diop needs to liven up a bit there is a decent player in there he just needs to have a bit better self belief and of course kittygate Zouma to me he did not look fit but has played to help the side he is our main man at the back now.

Moyes the wonderful job he has done with our club cannot be questioned but he does need to learn to rotate the players a bit better otherwise we will see the players legs go again during the season....and use some of the younger players dont just sit them on the bench and not make use if only for the last5/10 mins of a match.

Upfront well it has to be Toney his play and style similar to Antonio so Moyes would not need to do much to fit him into the jigsaw.

the middle of the park is a problem..Soucek/Rice the main men but for me Lanzini great as he has been for us needs to move on and Vlasic has to be seen for the mistake that he clearly was a late window panic buy if you will.....will Coventry be given a chance plus another experienced prem midfielder like Maddison who hammergirl mentioned in her posting.

Now is the time for the club to stop saying we are a big club and start acting like one and flex our muscles a bit.....the barcodes will be splashing the cash on all and sundry next season well let them let the statue and progress of our club speak against that show them that we really are Massive.

So lets get out in the market show we mean business and get the players we want no pussyfooting around with lowball bids if the player at the top of Moyes list is available and is interested in the move then get him before others get a chance.
