Really like Pellers having another PL-go with West Ham. Very much enjoyed his 1st season Ad a City-manager and in his last season the Pep-factor crept in leaving loads on here with very short memories.
Pellers did great with smaller teams in Spain. I hope he does the same at West Ham and wish him all the best. The charming man deserves so.

Good luck to him.
He did a great job at City, improving on the faults Mancini had allowed to creep in & getting us attacking with much more purpose, for one season.
He will attempt to play attacking football, which is potentially much better for the Premier League than anything Moyes has ever done, & his one dimensional offside trap, which is useless at the top level, might be good enough for the next level down.
He is able to set his team out to play with a 'big' cf, so, if his attacking transfers are limited, he could still make something out of what they have & he's used to working with old, slow defenders, often by choice.
He still has to find some creativity from somewhere (other than Yaya) in order for his system to work, so his whole future probably depends on a good transfer window.
But in football terms he is the Chilean Harry Redknapp, so it could work.
If I was a West Ham fan however, I would be wary that he has just completely fucked up the job in China in spite of having very decent recources, comparitively better than he'll have at West Ham.

If ever a manager didn't match the squad, it's Pelligrini and West Ham. If they have any chance of this being a success(mid-table) then they need to spend some serious money. Nobel, Carroll, that defence(bar Zab and Rice) all need sorting out but I don't think Pelligrini is the man to make them better. He might be able to buy better but I don't think he will make individuals better
I can see Zab being hing out to dry unless Pelligrini reigns his ideas in. There are some good players there, Lanzini looks decent, Arnoutovic seems to have knuckled down and the No 26 who played against us looked half decent, prior to his ban for spitting!
I cannot see this working. The players are more suited to Moyes than Pelligrini

Pellegrini wanted a big/strong player up front at City, so it's not that far removed.
But he's always had serious attacking midfield talent available to him & I'm not sure where he'll get that from.

He had Dzecko, Negredo and Bony and I don't really think he got the best out of any of them, after his first 6-12 months. Not sure West Ham will be able to get anyone with their quality. Well, maybe Bony

I don't think he got the best out of anybody after his first 6-12 months & he murdered Sterling.
But he does like a big player upfront, so it's not impossible he can work with Caroll & Aeronautovitsky (well, once a month in Carrol's case).
But he always had real quality attacking creativity to make it work for him & I'm not sure where he'll find that.
The big advantage he has compared to City, is that hardly anyone is ever going to park the bus v West Ham, so he has the freedom of the pitch to attack in.
