Not sure myself T tbh, he certainly wasn't first choice.

Nice to see them aiming high with Rafa & Ancelotti but lets be honest they weren't likely to come. The guy at Marseille was rumoured to be first choice but the fact he doesn't speak English probably went against him so its fair to say Bilic was pretty well down the pecking order even though he's topped the betting for a good while. Sick of hearing he's the fan's choice etc etc, the Hammers fans I know are certainly split. Yes he played for us, for all of 14 mths before he fucked off to Everton, but is he really proven ?

Big Sam did what he was asked, ok it was pig ugly at times but lets be realistic, we finished in a realistic position.
Hopefully the owners have got it right , time will tell.
I'm not real sure what other options there were in all honesty!
