Forget Liverpool & Hull. What about West Ham?
Just checked the Premier League table any they're lying below Hull in 17th place! 
So how come no-one's talking about Golden Boy Gianfranco Zola being up for the chop yet?
Already out of the League Cup and only 1 Premier League win all season and that was way back in mid-August against lowly new boys Wolves!
Frankly I'm surprised he's lasted this long with that sort of record.

probably the fact they've not had the defeats Hull have had and add to that Zola is a bit of a darling of the press due to his nature and time at chelsea.

Over 5 weeks on from the OP and West Ham are still sitting pretty in a dreadful 17th place. Still no calls for Zola's head though: I guess the Board can't afford to pay him off (rather like Liverpool/Benitez), but they will lose a lot more if they spend next year in the Championship!
How many times have we seen a big name player jump straight into club management at the top level and make a complete Horlicks of it? Why not learn your trade in the lower leagues? I guess they are so used to living on their massive Premier League player pay-packets, that they cannot resign themselves to slumming it in Management of the lower leagues for a couple of years on a more realistic salary.

3 months and one transfer window later and West Ham are still there in 17th! I'd be getting a bit nervous if I was an 'Appy 'Ammer.
The only thing that will save them is that the 3 teams still below them are so unbelievably cr@p and one of them has had 9 points deducted. Zola can hardly take the credit for that.
Because of that, I am still pretty sure they will survive, but it's been a truly wretched season for WHU. I still cannot believe that Zola is in charge, but I guess it's too late in the day to get rid now.
What with the new Porno owners' decision to chop wages next year, I can't see it getting any better for them either.

just hoping that we can stay up, to go down would be the end really, read portsmouth, leeds, southampton, norwich etc
a club cannot live outside it's means for long, ljunberg was a waste of millions (80k a week!!) dyer has amounted to a costly crock, losing ashton was a big blow, have made a lot of poor signings in the last 18 months

That's a pretty shocking indictment of where we've got to. A club like West Ham shelling out nearly 37 million quid a year on wages just to end up 17th! Look at how many utter no-marks in that side are on a million+ quid a year! 
20 of their 33 playing/coaching staff are being paid over a million each, with 7 players on 2 million+! How can West Ham be getting value for money?
Know wonder Gold & Sullivan choked on their own sp*nk when they saw the pay-roll.
