ZOLA SACKED

I woke up to find Franco Zola has been fired today, sad but probably the right decision, he is one of the good guys and I think he’ll be a great coach down the line for a club with money and a bunch of flair players. We played some really nice football under Zola but didn’t show up on too many occasions this season. It seems that Zola still had the backing of the players but clearly the board didn’t think he was the man to take us forward. Will be interesting to see which side of the fence the players fall when the new manager is announced. I know a couple of West Ham fans that go to Upton Park week in week out who had definitely lost faith. Right now the bookies have Avram Grant as 1/3 favorite, Billic at eights and Mark Hughes who appears to have priced himself out of the job at elevens.

In other news, Carlton Cole missed out on a World Cup place but spots in the provisional 30 go to Green, Upson and Scotty Parker.

I’m still tired.
