How much money is enough?

Was the then upcoming giant new TV deal not enough, was the free stadium not enough, were the supposed 60,0o00 season ticket sales not enough? They should get the book thrown at them, but as usual, good old West Ham will get away with it.

I despise people like this, the Gordon gkko school of thought. They would sell their own Gran for a tenner. They have already proven they don't really care about the club, the fans, or football. It's all just a money making exercise. Utter scumbags.

Bilic first man to bw sacked in premier league

In fairness Sullivan, Brady and Gold do give their managers time if you look at the records of managers they've employed, sometimes too much time as they somehow gave Avram Grant the full season when he relegated them.

Big favourite has to be Frank De Boer, it's obvious his style and formation isn't going to work at Palace and they've lost twice at home to relegation candidates.

I'd say Rafa is the favourite.

He was on the verge of taking the job then got the offer from Real so there is already a relationship there between him and the owners and a previous interest in working together.

He looks every bit like a manager ready for a move and West Ham have more anbition than Newcastle.

I think he is pretty likely to make the move South.

Slaven Bilic has risked angering his employers after saying David Sullivan “likes to talk” and revealing he thought the Sporting Lisbon president’s description of West Ham United’s owners as “the Dildo Brothers” was funny.

Bilic dismissed Sullivan’s claim he turned down deals for Renato Sanches and Grzegorz Krychowiak, who joined Swansea City and West Bromwich Albion respectively last month. He did little to hide his amusement at West Ham’s row with Sporting about the way negotiations for William Carvalho broke down on the final day of the transfer window.

West Ham’s manager, who insists that his future does not depend on beating Huddersfield Town on Monday night, pretended not to have seen Bruno de Carvalho’s disparaging comments about Sullivan and David Gold before laughing when they were relayed to him.

“Which comment?” Bilic said. “I thought about coming with a lawyer today! There have been issues! Come on, say it! It’s funny. It made me laugh, but look I don’t like to talk about some things. What I know about that transfer is that I wanted the player. That has been going on for a long time. We kept it low profile.

“It was the whole summer and it looked promising. From what I know, we spoke, not me, but West Ham people and the people who have the power, they spoke to Sporting about Carvalho. We wanted him.

“I’m smiling, I’m laughing, I’m joking. I’m frustrated because we didn’t get the player, of course. I’ve been trying to get him for a couple of years. It didn’t happen with Perisic at Man United, it didn’t happen with a few players at Chelsea. I’m not angry at anyone. You can’t get all the things you want in life. We still have a team.”

West Ham, who are bottom after losing all three matches, have threatened legal action against Sporting in response to claims that they never made an offer for Carvalho. The Portugal midfielder was a major target for Bilic but West Ham refused to meet Sporting’s asking price of £37.5m.

Sullivan responded to suggestions he failed to back Bilic by saying the manager turned down the chance to sign Krychowiak and Sanches, both of whom play in Carvalho’s position. However Bilic said that was because signing Carvalho was his main priority.

“David Sullivan likes to talk,” Bilic said. “It’s his right to be able to. I wanted the player and that is not exactly what happened with those two you mention. I wanted Carvalho and it looked likely. During my time at West Ham, it’s very common that when it looks like a player is going to happen, that someone throws in two or three other names and that distracts you from the main target, and that’s what happened. Those two other players are very good players.”
