Great to see Manuel doing well. The classless morons in the media mocked him at City and when he took over at West Ham but, as usual, he has come good. His teams take risks and play brilliant attacking football. The complete opposite of one-time media darling Sean Dyche and his role model Allardyce. Hope the Hammers keep it up.
Just out of interest,which of the 14 teams he has managed are "like Westham"..in your opinion ...He's just doing what he does. He's got a brilliant record with teams like West Ham, and not a bad record at the top end either.
Villarreal and Malaga are the ones I was thinking of. Teams that would normally be mid table at best, but he gets them into Europe.Just out of interest,which of the 14 teams he has managed are "like Westham"..in your opinion ...
Let's be honest bh; all that really means is that, if he keeps improving at the rate he's doing, when one of the "big clubs" come calling, you'll be able to command a sizeable (some might say, "massive") fee for him. If a club or a player are determined not to honour a contract, the options for the other party are limited. No point keeping someone who doesn't want to be there any more.Superb news.

His City team scored 156 goals in all competitions, the highest in English football history (and the second highest in European football history). That will do for me.He managed that 1 in 3 seasons at us. The only risk he took following the title win under him was the risk of dropping out of the top 4.
