Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Zola In at Upton Park


West Ham United announced this morning that the new boss at Upton Park will be...Gianfranco Zola!

Zola's got no managerial experience and is best known in the UK for his association with another, more fashionable club, in London.

So, what say you, Sir Trev - good choice or more misery for the Happy Hammers?

Am I wrong or wasn't Zola manager of the Italian Under-21's?

I really thought he was but all I've read is that he has no managerial experience.

What managerial experience does he need to stop the board from selling off the players however?

I think if West Ham were going to go the inexperience Italian route, Di Canio would be a better pick if only that the board would be afraid of interfering for fear of a proper kicking from him and his skin-headed bootboys!

Good luck Trev. I can only imagine how alienated I'd feel if this was Arsenal.

Update: I am mistaken. Zola pals around with Casiraghi, the actual coach of the the Italian under-21's. He was minister without portfolio according to AC Jimbo of Football Weekly.

Update: XL, the package holiday firm that is the Hammers shirt sponsors declared insolvency today, making their continuing sponsorship a dicey proposition.

Man, rough times at the Bolynn ground. Double good luck to Trev.
