With Watford losing their fifth home game on the trot and West Brom sacking Steve Clarke, the tantalising prospect of re-uniting the management dream team at Upton Park has become an outside possibility.
Many West Ham fans believe that Zola has unfinished business at the Boleyn and absolve the lovable Italian of any blame whatsoever for the decimation of the half decent team that Curbishley handed over when he walked out in a Claret and Blue huff over the sale of McCartney and Anton.
According to the Italian's acolytes, Zola was not at fault when we escaped relegation with a record low total of points in his second season in charge - in fact it was his genius on the training field that kept us in the division!
No, our relegation in the subsequent season was entirely down to Grant. Never mind that there is not a single Zola signing still at the club (whereas it was Grant who recruited our single best player - Winston Reid), the Italian is still hailed as a misunderstood genius by a body of our misguided fans.
And, of course, Clarke was the best assistant manager we have had since John Lyall understudied Ron Greenwood. Mr Bibs and Cones was, according to these fools, the brains behind Jose's success at Chelsea first time around.
And how the Zola and Clarke lobby revelled in last season's successes! Zola took Watford to the Championship play off finals and Clarke guided West Brom to heady heights in the Prem. How foolish were Sullivan & Gold to sack them? What a twat Hammersfan was for questioning their credentials!
Well now we can have them back. Clarke has been shown the door by the Baggies and, even as we speak, Pozzo is selecting a horse's head to leave in Zola's bed! So, who wants them back?
Allardyce's reputation is based entirely on the fact that he has never suffered relegation as a manager. Well neither have Zola and Clarke. So the question is, why have one fat c*nt when you can have two c*nts for the price of one?
Bring back Zola and Clarke I say! It's panto season after all! Look out Allardyce, they're behind you! And Scotty Parker could even return with them!
Stupid pathetic pointless article
ReplyDeleteHa ha....I'd love it if that happened. Serve you bloody well right.
ReplyDelete"Zola took Watford to the Championship play off finals and Clarke guided West Brom to heady heights in the Prem"
ReplyDeleteThis means the rest of your article is pointless
Nothing like reveling in past glories then and resurrecting this pathetic excuse of a footballing blog. Did you get get to the game today? Did you even see it? Or are you just putting your predictable spin with self-delusional authority and insight on day's news reports? I think your adoring public deserves an honest answer.
ReplyDeleteCan we have the comparisons of how much zola had to spend and how much grant did so we can see how dumb your conclusions are
ReplyDeleteHaving the Clarke join Zola at WFC, is also not out of the question either surely ..... Now that would really piss you right off wouldn't it !!!
ReplyDeleteThe only fat c..t I can see is you and that pointless article do give up the day job.
ReplyDelete"How we'd love that partnership back"
ReplyDeleteSurely the same fans saying this are the same fans who wanted the pair sacked? Also another contradiction is talking about their achievements LAST SEASON! if we are going down that route why not keep BFS as he did well LAST SEASON! You're only as good as ur last game and all three of the above are not gunna take us forward! Terrible pointless article
I don't think Steve Clarke deserved to be sacked. And I am not in favour of getting either Steve or Gianfranco back at Upton Park. But if we were to get either of them back, at least, we would not be as pathetic in attack as we are now. Isn't it strange that a low ambition club like WBA sack their rather successful manager when they have more points on the Board than we have? So much for making West Ham a great club. Every manager around us in the table has been sacked, except Big Sam!
ReplyDeleteThe people who support Zola also think CC can kick a ball in a straight line. We all see him do that when he passed to Defoe standing on the edge of our penalty area.
ReplyDeleteToo right sav. But our owners unlike those of the other clubs dont make decisions with the clubs interests as the most important thing
ReplyDeleteI want BFS relieved of his duties like everyone else. Trouble is that the two Daves don't have a great record when it comes to appointing manag ers. Either at this club or Birmingham from what I can remember. If he is sacked I fear for who we may get in to replace him.
ReplyDeleteWould be interesting to see people's preferences.
westhamutdonceproudclub fan could actually re-appear at a game.
