Zola Sacked from WHU

Just been reported on SSN that that nice little Italian Gianifraco Zola has been sacked.

Shame seems a nice bloke, and we could do with all the points we can get next year.

SSN going wild

I thought he was a good manager, sh*t owners

Sulivan and gold are a pair of pricks.

I see striking similarities here. Great manager. Useless owners.

Shame, but that's football these days.

Always quite liked Zola.

Liked him as a player and seems a good coach but the price you pay for a crap year.

Came in in Jan and said Zola was safe in a job also he would'nt get the Sack i think Big Eck could leave Birmingham and go to Upton Park to Replace him.

Sulivan and gold are a pair of pricks.

Pathetic.

Gold and Sullivan are idiots.

Zola for Liverpool.

Felt sorry for that little guy...

Poor Zola. Nice, honest man he is.

At least he didn't go down with West Ham.

Realy nice Guy, footage of him takeing tea and coffee out to the Press outside his house. Fans don't seen happy.

Idiots. Should have been kept on. One of the nicer managers out there, always respected his attitude.

A joke two F***ing apes running the club a bit like ourselves, the club deserves to be relegated next season the way they are being run.

Feel sorry for him. At least give him one more season to turn it around.

He's a top bloke, too.

Really sorry to hear this, I like Zola.  Seems a right nice fella.  He even brought mugs of coffee out to the reporters lurking outside his house today

Did he? Respect gone up, again.

Could say the same for us then, couldn't you  Sad times.

Really?

What a man.

Can you imagine if Rafa was to do that, he'd get slagged that there wasn't enough milk, sugar or spoons!!

Feel sorry for Zola, a genuinely nice guy and a cracking footballer too.

If I was McLeish I'd stay at Birmingham, far better prospects there than at West Ham right now.

Yeah just seen him on SSN bring out coffee and they try asking him questions he is just smiling and saying no boys im not talking about it.

He has a nice house and some nice cars too

I was quite disappointed when I seen this earlier, but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, managers have been sacked for less in the past.

Always rated Zola though. He seems like a top bloke.

Yeah he does seem like a decent fella doesn't he. Best of luck to him.

He has a nice house and some nice cars too

Nooooooooooo.

Nooooooooooo.

He had a renault clio, what i looked at most than some X5
I don't know why, I instantly thought must have some kids

Proper shame this. No need for it at all.

I hope Zola goes on to better things.

Was on the treadmill in the gym earlier watching a debate on SkySports 1 on the England team and it came along the bottom as Breaking News that a Premier League manager had been sacked. I was convinced it was Rafa but had no way of checking. Thank god it wasn't .

Sad to see Zola has been sacked. Such a nice guy and i think in may ways, he has come under a similar situation that our man, Rafa, has. Anyone see him bring the cups of tea out to all the reporters camping outside his house. True gent.

Saw the clip of him bringing out the coffee for the journos earlier today, and then he kindly declined to comment on the situation.

What a gent.

If you didn't get seeing it, here is a link. I love this guy. My Dad is a Chelski fan and he got me loving him. Outstanding player aswell.

He really did that ? ha ha , that is brilliant . He was class on the pitch and he proves that he is off it too

Thanks for posting, Semple.

Says alot about the man. Gutted for him to be axed. Brilliant player and top man off the pitch.

Maybe we should sign him up as a youth coach

Gianfranco Zola Brings Reporters A Cup Of Coffee

Brought a tear to my eye.

I've always had a massive respect for Zola, because he's the kindest guy you could ever hope to meet (according to my dad).

He's just been sacked, lost his job and the respect of West Ham's owners after an unlucky season... yet he makes the journalists intervieing him about being sacked a cup of coffee - makes them feel right at home.

Massive, massive respect for the man. Poor bugger. Deserved better than that.

Wholeheartedly agree. What a fella.

Totally agree.

Thanks for Sharing that video Semple . I was shocked to hear the news after one bad season they sack him . Similar situation to us , I wish him all the best in his managerial career ...wherever it may take him .

Top fella he is, and to do that as well, all with a smile on his face too, he deserves far better than West Ham, hope he lands a top job.

Karen Brady was the one who made the decision as far as I'm aware?

But they were going to go behind his back and sell most of the players etc. He should have left before they had the chance to sack him for nothing, without Zola in charge they probably would have gone down to be honest. I know they narrowly escaped the drop but just saying

Thanks for posting that clip Semple. He really is a brilliant man.

Sadly, maybe he's too 'nice' for management?

I'd have him as a coach here, any day.

Am i Surprised?? No.

Aww...i loved that video, Semple. Thanks for posting.

Feel bad for him, he is a genuinely nice guy and i'm many more opportunities to manage a club will come along.   

What a gent.

Feeling the love for the video.

Your heart just breaks for him when you see that. Get him in as Rafa's assistant!

(Sorry Sammy - you do sh*t all anyway!)

Shame but i honestly thought he would have been sacked when the new owners came in.
