One other thing worth thinking about here is that it looks like we will be playing in Europa League next season via the fair play league qualification spot. Our new manager is going to have his squad stretched very far if he doesn't bring in a number of new faces. Makes a relegation battle even more likely.

I know that he technically wasn't 'sacked' as his contract wasn't renewed but lets not split hairs people!

06-07 season, Bolton finished 7th with -5 goal difference, 05-06 season, Everton finished 4th with -1 goal difference. Now i want that "a lot of money" i was promised. Please.

Some options- David Moyes- As you mentioned, only if he is an option would be a good pick. Experienced in the Premier League, had a great 10 year spell at Everton. Michael Laudrup- Not a great manager, will probably sign you Michu and leave after a season. Sean Dyche- This is who I would go for if he would leave Burnley, fantastic and down to earth manager, well respected and done well to promote Burnley, who have a very poor squad.

Yeah Moyes would fit in really well with West Ham or Newcastle I reckon

Don't feel too bad. Liverpool lost 6-1 to Stoke on Gerrard's farewell!

In all honestly i can see West Ham getting relegated. West Ham need to realise it takes time and good buys to move up to the Europa League places. Considering how important money is, you should be spending your money on players and not on a fancy new stadium. Also if you want attacking football stay away from David Moyes.

Think it's safe to say that this was a good desicion 👍

I think Moyes would be a fantastic appointment, look what he done at Everton he took them from relegation to top 6 and even one season top 4 on basically no money. Yes he had a mare at United but at West Ham he wouldn't get you sacked and imo could take you to the next level of top 6-8 finishes consistently while the money is coming in to club before maybe brining in another manager who can then take West Ham on even further if Moyes can't. I feel so sorry for Moyes because his reputation has been crushed since United and people forget what a fantastic job he done at Everton and what a great manager he is.

Slaven Bilic is a great manager -Besiktas fan

"Slaven Bilic is a question mark"

you can have Brendan Rodgers plz we don't want him anymore ;-;

I am a West Ham fan and I am extremely grateful for what Sam has done for West Ham and he will be remembered as one of our best managers. However, if the board really do want to get us playing attractive football, now is the perfect time for a new, fresh manager to prove himself, as we are now established in the league and will have the new stadium to push for Europe. Under big Sam that would never happen because he is too negative, he gets results, but as a fan you want more than that, you want to be entertained. Therefore I am happy and sad that he has left, but overall I think it was the right decision.

love these kinda vids, keep it going spence!

I'm not a Westham fan, and i don't really care about them too much. But Sam Allardyce deserves to stay.. I understand how he flopped during the second half of the season, but i believe that, with all the potential Westham's new stadium will bring, that Allardyce would be the right man for the job.. I think, with a couple more, decent signings at the end of this season, we could have seen Westham being a contender for europe.. I know how daft it sounds and i understand how many people will say "You don't know anything about football grr" but, genuinely believe Allardyce is a quality manager and deserved more of a chance..

If West Ham were in a relegation battle like Villa or Newcastle, I could understand Sam losing his place at the club, but I can't justify this one bit. Should've had a new contract in my opinion.

I agree with David Moyes to West Ham. He wasn't suited to a big team like United but West Ham is similar to Everton so he's gonna be more comfortable with that role. I think that his downfall is his signings. He needs to know what players are best for the team. He can be a bit of mare but you can be prepared to take the risk.

The telegraph reporting West Ham plotting ambitious move for Ancelloti HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Maybe Mick Maulthouse could coach you! Only Aussies will get this one😉

Goodluck to Real Oviedo in their second leg hopefully they go up!

i generally don't see how people can dislike him, and how he doesn't have at least 1 mill subs; good general knowledge good fifa knowledge good football knowledge uploads frequently he's funny NOTHING WRONG WITH HIM WHATSOEVER

AVB ? He won the Russian Premier League with Zenit, and got the fairly far in the EL. I think that he would at least keep West Ham up, and he's managed big name clubs before like Chelsea and Spurs.

Hi spencer, I have to say i agree with your comments 98%... The two things I disagree on is 1. David Moyes, I feel that he isn't the type of manager west ham need, I feel his coaching ability is rather lacklustre and he depends on the coaching staff at a hand. 2. Jurgen Klopp is the right man for west ham. During his tenure at Dortmund he used the club academy to bring out some world class players and giving them a chance, who says that if klopp was manager we could see the next Marco Reus in Elliot Lee, Mats Hummels in Reece Oxford and gotze in Josh callum? Klopp gives the guys a chance and he also coaches them to make them better. He also has screwed tactics in the transfer market by bringing in players such as Lewondowski from Poland, Aubameyang from France and Immobile from Italy. The west ham way is a out winning trophies using west ham blood. The best chance we had as a team to be successful was the team we had Joe Cole, Frank lampard, Jermaine Defoe, Rio Ferdinand, Michael Carrick and build the team around that, these are players money can't buy but yet they were sold. We could of seriously had a title challenge if those players had stayed. Bonds, brooking, Moore, Peters, Hurst, Cottee, Potts, all west ham academy. These aren't average players, these won pfa trophies, international caps, world cups, domestic trophies... Winning with West Ham boys is the west ham way. I agree the west ham way is a thing of the past, because we haven't won anything since 1980. I haven't seen my club, a club I love, lift a proper piece of silverware. playoff finals, intertoto, Bobby Moore cup are not proper trophies, I find it quite patronizing that you can win a throphy because you come third in a league and had to play 3 extra games for it. I think the biggest investment the club can make is having a world class coach who wants a project to leave a legacy. Leaving a legacy is ambition to succeed, we need an Arsene Wenger type coach who gets involved In every area of the club.

Poor handling by West Ham. Absolutely poor. Could've waited a few hours before announcing it. The final whistle didn't even go and the statement was released. Hope Big Sam manages a Premier League club next season. The League needs someone like him.

David Moyes

Who would of known he would become England manager

Spencer was that Oviedo's game vs Cadiz

I'm a Man United fan, but I always admired West Hams academy which produced a lot of PL players until about 5years ago. I think Vilas Boas (or however you spell it) would be great. He might bring some youngsters through and add a couple of decent players... What do you think?

We'll miss you, Big Sam!

Honestly, Di Matteo would be a good manager at West Ham.

Bilic is a ver good shout. As someone who follows the turkish league, besiktas have played the great football, they were unlucky with the injuries and having to play europa league with a small squad list.

I am a real supportive west ham supporter and i am actually really pleased that West Ham have decided to get rid of Big Sam because i believe that it was time we got a new manager as he has only won us 2 games in our last 13 which is an absolutely appalling fact and I don't think that he is getting the full potentially out of every single player, especially the likes of Zarate who is a great talent who just needed to get a bit more play time and it really didn't work when we loaned him out to QPR as he only made 4 appearances which probably were last minute off the bench jobs. Also we need a more creative manager that knows how to make the most out of the money they have got instead of buying strikers season after season after season and that plays a better style of football as all Big Sam wanted to do at West Ham is play long balls to Andy Carroll who has been out injured most of the season. If you agree with my opinion please like this comment as i would like Spencer to see my point of view

Can't wait for all of the "Be careful what you wish for" comments on this video from non-West Ham fans who know nothing about the situation, yet still think that their comments are valid and don't like it when they're proved wrong😂

Who is watching in 2016

Personally I don't think that sacking Sam was the best move for West Ham, because as you said West Ham's form was unbelievable before Christmas and that shouldn't be forgotten, he's made excellent signing in Song and Kouyate and Enner Valencia and made a team that with form can push high up the table. I may be slightly biased myself (as a Villa fan) but as a safe appointment I think Martin O'Neill would be fantastic, he was one of the best managers Villa have had in recent years finishing 6 three consecutive season with a team very similar to West Ham's now, a league place we've found it very difficult to find again.

I am so happy he's gone. Terrible man-manager and makes fucking horrific transfers! e.g. he didn't want Sakho, he loaned out Zarate to QPR because he didn't like him, believing Carlton Cole is good enough to be our 2nd striker etc. My fav replacements: 1 - Benitez 2 - Moyes 3 - Poyet 4 - Bilic

He did alright this season though... Id rather Brendan Rodgers left!!!! (Liverpool fan)

Spot on!

Michael Laudrup would be a great appointment as he did a great job with Swansea before,Im an Arsenal fan but I genuinely want to see West Ham succeed in the BPL.

take john carver hahaha

Spencer, love your vids, especially your Zarate kid vids! In my opinion Sam had some credit ;) i wouldnt have fired him/ renew his contract. Spencer could you drop by on my channel please and give me some tips?

Does anyone know what edoting software Spencer uses?

Overall, I feel that Big Sam leaving was the right call. As Spencer mentioned, he was given his targets in the first few seasons (getting us straight back to the Premier League the first season, and keeping us up the season after) but this season was his chance to show that he could help West Ham compete for at least a top 10 finish, where I believe we should at least be. He was quoted as saying "I have been told by the board they want at least a top 10 finish" and as he didn't achieve that, along with the dismal run of results that means we only won 3 games in 2015 I feel that the decison to not renew his contract was the right one. As for replacements, I feel that Villas-Boas would be a good shout after winning the Russian League with Zenit and possibly still having something to prove in the Premier League after his time at both Chelsea and Spurs, and possibly Moyes as he is known for keeping clubs in a good mid table position at the very least, and I feel that he will want to return to the Premier League and prove people wrong after building some confidence out in Spain with Sociedad.

Where's Martin O'Neil? I thought he was excellent at Villa and alright at Sunderland given what he had. His teams played attractive football and got the results so if I had the choice, I'd choose him or Moyes. Harry Redknapp would be a last resort

You might just end up getting Brendan Rodgers if Liverpool get rid

where does he get his shirts?

Steve McClaren? linked with the newcastle job too, very attacking and did well at derby until the last 2 months

You should be the manager Spencer.

He shouldn't of got sacked he got us back to the prem and consolidated our place their

i saw all the steel for the new stadium its in a factory near manchester.i saw it on the way back from the norwich vs middlesborough match

Ya

Jurgen Klopp 👀🔥😜

West Ham won't fill the Olympic stadium regardless of what league they're in!

As a season ticket holder in the Bobby Moore lower i believe that the decision to not offer Big Sam more time at the club is correct. If you look at his previous managerial jobs at, for example: Bolton and Newcastle he has left the clubs in dire need of a full squad renewal. Sam has a certain style of playing football (direct) the squad at the moment does not have the ability to play this way due to Andy Carroll only averaging a rubbish 13 games per season throughout his career.The next manager to come in will be in a better position than Sam was when he came to West Ham due to the squad having some depth and pace upfront, as we say goodbye to Carlton Cole a club legend will have to bring more rotational players in to fill these places. Nolan is a prolific scorer of important goals, he is also coming to the end of his career. Rafa Benitez is not the right man for the job he has only ever managed teams that challenge for their leagues title; he is not the right man for the job. I personally feel Moyes is the best option for the clubs future in the premier league. I want Moyes to come to the club but i doubt that Moyes will (a) want to return to the prem and (b) join a team such as West Ham who's aspirations are to acquire a top half of the table finish.

yah

Slaven Bilic would be good.

I would feel the same for Man UTD getting thrashed by Leicester 5-3 :D I support Real Madrid! Man UTD deserved that!

Maybe a Roberto Di Matteo move bc he was recently sacked at Schalke but remember he did finish 3rd in the Bundesliga last year an he won the UCL with Chelsea in 2012 so personally I think him or Moyes would be the best move for us

spenc, what would you say about andre villas-boas? struggled at cheslea but showed character trying to bring youth through and play good football as well as being a young manager, thoughts?

Big Sam Will be replaced with Jürgen Klopp That would be sick Love your videos

If you are going for one of these managers who play great attacking football you should get either unai emery(Sevilla) coach who will probably leave them or get di matteo who has now left schalke

I've always been saying Moyes or Laudrup but I can see us getting Bilic in

Tony pulis (although that is quite unrealistic) and Gus Poyet

I'm talking about Rodgers (LFC)

David Moyes, Roberto Di Mateo, Michael Laudrap

Everton finished 4th a few years back (I believe 05 when Liverpool won the Champions League) with negative goal difference...

can u make a video on how to edit videos?

didn't Newcastle finish with a negative goal difference when we qualified for the Europa league a few years ago?

A couple of years ago Everton finished in fourth with a goal difference of zero, and In the first year of the premier league norich finished 3rd with -4 goal difference.

Spen, what do u think about gus poyet??

As a Brentford fan, I wouldn't be surprised to see Mark Warburton appointed. He's attacking, likes to play it along the carpet and his contract isn't being renewed. What he did at Brentford was pretty astonishing, we were in a good position with a decent squad, which he improved to get us up and then with the financial backing form Benham he blew it away finishing 5th. He makes clever signings such as Andre Gray from Luton scoring 18 goals this season and the likes of Odubajo from Orient whose done very well and has been called up for England U21.

Slaven Bilic is amazing manager ,what he done with Basiktas this season is amazing.They are full of crappy players , but still he defeated Liverpool in Europa league and managed be in top3 turkey teams.

As always with my US bias... here are my recommendations. Sigi Schmid and Bruce Arena. Two of the winningest coaches that the US has ever produced. Sigi alone has won a championship with two different teams/almost three :P, and last year nearly got the first ever Treble with Seattle. Throw the English Football world a curve-ball and bring in a dark horse candidate like Sigi or Bruce. They'll get the job done. :)

There has been talk of the manager of Besiktas stepping down and going to West Ham

Love that my favourite KZfaqr supports my team :)

I do live in East London (not a West Ham supporter) and the Olympic stadium and it's revenue is getting the best of West Ham board. The sighnings Big Sam made were huge and there were in the top 4 at Christmas. If his contact expired in 2016 then you would have kept him for another year.

Now he's at Everton & we absolutely love him. SHE DREAMED OF ALLA ALLA ALLARDYCE ALLA ALLA ALLARDYCE ALLA ALLA ALLARDYCE WOAH OHHHHHHH

I'd love to see di Matteo back in the BPL, however I think there are more suitable options since he has been managing only CL clubs recently.

Tottenham I think done it a few years ago with a negative goal difference in 5th (btw im a spurs fan)

My club Everton finished 4th in 04/05 with a -4 goal difference!

There is!! Everton finish 4th in the 04/05 season with a goal difference of -1. Check it up!!!.

Although Big Sam did a good job, I was sick of Nolan behind Carroll, I was actually glad that Carroll was injured for the first part of the season and I actually thought that it would be a good thing, which it was, and after Christmas, as you said we were just shocking, we should have stayed with two up top, with Carroll as a reserve striker when he came back from injury, so in conclusion, i'm quite glad that we have gotten rid of Sam. I would love to see someone like Moyes come in, I don't care about style, I just want to be consistant.

I'm not a West Ham fan but I'll add my two cents to the discussion. Personally, I think West Ham should get Moyes for a few years before trying to lure in a more attacking minded manager. While Moyes won't play the attractive football most fans crave, he's a safe manager and, like you said in the video, that's the most important thing West Ham needs while transitioning into the new stadium. After quickly looking at Moyes' stats at Everton, between 2006 and 2013, he never dropped below 8th place in the league. That sort of stability is something West Ham could greatly benefit from.

You can have Rodgers Spen 😂😂😂

Spencer for manager!

you should do a manager career where you are the west ham manager that would be amazing!

I agree with you thoughts about Big Sam, I think that's the next part of our future at west ham to bring In someone new

Harry Redknap?, knows the ins and outs of West Ham been here before knows how we play especially with the players we have, also plays a nice style of football geez

Would love to see Jurgen Klinsmann managing in the Premiership! I reckon he'd bring some attacking flair to West Ham...

Roberts Di Matteo, he was brilliant at Chelsea and he knows how to win games in the BPL and play attacking football.

Roberto Di Matteo? (I know he's too defensive but it could work...) Michael Laudrup? (When he was at Swansea, they used to play quite well...) ___________ PD.: Sorry for my English, I'm Spanish but I love Spencer's videos :)

LETS FACE IT LETS FACE IT LETS FACE IT

Spencer I know it's a big ask but please take a look at the heart breaking story of Blackpool FC. It's a hard moment for me as a Blackpool fan and it always helps having some support from the best youtuber in the world. Thank you for taking your time for reading this.

if you look at the story of borussia dortmund before klopp, you can relate to west ham now, mid table finish, not a stella squad but what he did over the years really change the way people thought about dortmund, they always had one or two good players at the clubs but they also didnt go crazy with the purchases in the transfer window. in all honest i think jurgen klopp is the man for west ham, as he isn't know for managing dortmund by for the way he change how dortmund play from then till now, and i also know that the bundesliga isnt the prem but i think he can still do the same thing to west ham that he was able to do to dortmund many years ago.

Unai emery could be a really good manager, would require 1mil compensation to sevilla but he won back to back europa leagues with sevilla. Or, Mrcleo Bielsa, a really attacking manager currently managing marseille

Everton actually finished 4th in the 2004/05 season with a -1 goal difference.

Some good managers that fit well for west ham: Pep guardioleh - Bayern Jose Mourinho - Chelsea Carlo ancelotti - RM [Sacked] Frank de Boer - Ajax Louis van Gaal - Man Utd Jurgen Klopp - Dortmund [Left] Ancelotti would be great IMO

They way I see it spen, is that if you look at the clubs big Sam has managed and then look how the club has ended up after a couple of seasons the change is astonishing, he was at Bolton until 07 who then got relegated in 2012,he was at Newcastle in 08 who then got relegated in 09 and finally he was at Blackburn until 2010 who then also went down in 2012, so in my opinion it's a huge gamble like you said and I wouldn't be surprised to see the club slip down the table in the next few seasons!

What's up spencer, I'm relatively a new subscriber ! About the new west ham manager....I think the man to take you guys to a new level is Marcelo Bielsa 👌🏽
