remember everyone - he is the only manager to get us to the CL final

he also got a team of loanees to the FACup final (howd he do that?)

he is very good tactician and knows how to get best out of his players and his team - so for me thats makes puts him up there

decnt bloke as well - ask lamps

You're right he's a genius - we should have begged him to stay and rewarded him with the manager's job for life. We're fools.

I just don't buy it. Seeing him place cones is a sight to behold, as well as standing about on the sidelines flapping his hands about; maybe I'm just not genius enough to understand his signs

Why waste a thread giving an ex manager a bit of credit when his name is not Jose?

Its unbelievable that someone could mention the achievements he made here and at Fratton Park when he is now an opposition Manager.

Lets just keep threads like this for the man we shall only speak of as TSO and get behind him as he spends the preseason unsettling our players with little hints of taking them to Spain because he loves them all

Joking mate, good on you for saying what you feel about a bloke who tried his best for us and got us through a sticky patch, must have been the hardest Job any of our last four managers have had picking the boys up after whats his name left.

I really like the bloke aswell. Good appointment for West Ham.

I also am an Avram fan. When the pressure was reaching boiling point in the Chelsea Man U game, he made the substitution which made us win the game. Also it wasn't his fault that Terry slipped...

For what little experience he had I thought he did well.
