How can this be? Do the idiots who put this short list together not understand what a fantastic job Sam is doing at Upton Park? Do they not appreciate the turn over of players? Can they not see that it takes time for a team to gel? Do they not grasp the incredible job Allardyce has done to keep West Ham in touch at the top after the trauma of relegation last season?
Look at the nominations!
Chris Hughton? How does he deserve it? Birmingham are below West Ham in the table, unless they win their games in hand! So what that they are also fighting a campaign in Europe and that their relegation was even more traumatic than our own? Hughton is a rookie. His teams play attractive football. A joke of a nomination in Sam's book!
Nigel Adkins? Are they having a laugh? So what that Southampton are top of the table playing entertaining football with a team that were in the division below this last season and two divisions below West Ham? Has Adkins ever been interviewed for the England job? What does he know about the game in comparison with Allardyce? Nout. Bloody nout. That's what!
And Dougie Freedman? On what basis exactly? Because he has taken a team that missed relegation by a whisker into the top four, blooding some exciting young home grown talent in the process? That's doomed to failure as Sam will tell you. You don't succeed by bringing players through from the club's Academy. Look at West Ham! Drawing at home to the bottom team in the table? Send on Diop for Sears and leave Hall on the bench! That's Sam's way! You need to pack your team with gnarled old pros; that's the only way!
Mind you, you don't want to go as far as Nigel Pearson at Hull! Look at their squad! They are truly shit! And if they win their game in hand they will still be a massive ONE POINT behind us in the table! No wonder Allardyce is quietly seething when a loser like Pearson gets recognition over him!
I tell you what, there's a few contributors on here who would explain the folly of these nominations. They will tell you that Allardyce has done a brilliant job since his arrival. He has the highest paid squad in the division and to lead them to second place is an incredible achievement by any standards according to them. So what that the football is ugly? So what that the kids are being ignored? So what that the values of the club have been tossed onto a pyre? We are SECOND. SECOND. GET THAT? SECOND!
Allardyce is the best manager in this division. End of! As Allardyce will happily tell you!

I'm sure it's 'Nigel' Adkins HF
Pam wanted to make it a Nolan Allardyce one two. Imagine that!
Even worse! How can a man named Nigel be taken seriously? You need a manly name like Sam!
Completely stupid post. Yes, all of those managers mentioned have done good jobs so far this season. Like you say West Ham are second,so no problem there. Also we have been playing players that have come through our youth academy with many young players getting experience out on loan. I remember reading articles explaining how allardyce spends more time with the young players in training than any of our other recent managers. You can only judge him on how he brings young players through the club after hes been there a while, not yet.
hahaha, this is a joke? cant wait to turn you guys over on saturday. THE TIGERS!!!! west ham suck. thats why he hasnt been nominated.
What do you think 22.26?
I can judge him on the quality of our performances actually 22.24
To the Tigers fan. Sorry, can't post the F word.
The intelligence level of the Tigers fans doesn't hold much hope for that fishing port really
22:48 well we have had a few good performances, admittedly a lot of games havent been great, but surely that isnt the priority. Having said that I think my opinion isnt shared by the majority of hammers, i personally am happy.
This article is a joke right? Quite a funny read, good post.
Come on you Tigers ........
We'll be looking to bounce back from mid week defeat but if you have Carew back, then the height of our defenders will be a 'big' problem.
Carew plays, you win. otherwise could go either way, maybe bore draw?
come on you hull Nigel Pearson's black & amber army, time to hammer the hammers. UTT
"Truly shit are we? Let's see after Saturday. Then again you lot think you've a God - Given right to be in the Premiership :)
Well, I got it anyway Hammersfan!
Come on you Irony!
Sorry, it doesn't scan, or makes sense, but that's the best I can do.
I don't share your general scepticism re Big Sam. You really have nowt (that's how we spell it up here, in the cold north) good to say about him, do you? Given all that's happened, we're more or less on target and doing OK. At the beginning of the season, I'd have taken a play off place as I feared a plummet through the trap door.
There are a lot of positives, and we need to focus on them and hope for improvements elsewhere. You gotta be optimistic HF man!
John J, Ripon
What a load of tosh - managers are voted on results in the month - On FORM the best 4 teams in the NPC were Hull, Birmingham, Palace and Saints.... That is why... Alardyce has done well over the season. But current form is what they go on... Get over yourself....
Deane=fishing port comment=silly person. Very simple equation
Hope your travelling fans rather than your keyboard warriors have more wit.You are normally as sweet as nuts to be fair.
LOL Cheers John J Ripon! It goes over lots of people's heads!
bring it on you southern soft lads.
What a load of crap , look at the players u still have from the previous season and who you've brought in , big money spent , you could be top and undefeated and still wouldn't deserve a mention , the reason the likes of Pearson gets credit is due to the fact he's got a well gelled young team all but a couple are loans or came on a free, game in hand and once we beat you tomorrow then will see what u have to say! Look at the goals you've shipped in of late , bottle it when you go a few goals ahead , look at the facts and the form table then you will appreciate why the nominees are who they are ! UTT
Another who should have paid more attention at school!
What a twat. You anon 19.19 obviously have not read the post but instead you read title and as such did not understand the sarcasm of the post go crawl back ti he rock you came from
