Please Forgive Me Mr. Zola

Dear Mr. Zola,

I am writing you this letter to apologize to you for doubting you for even a moment.

You see Mr. Zola, when I heard that you were the new manager for West Ham United, I felt sorry for you, I really did. We saw many managers who weren't good enough to survive the Premier League like Roy Keane and even managers with experience like Gareth Southgate getting punished, so when I heard that you were gonna manage West Ham when they were at their worst this season, I was sad because I liked you as a player (not a fan of Chelsea though), and I didn't want to see you get embarrassed by the evils of the Premier League.

Needless to say Mr. Zola, you proved me wrong. You have proved that I am but a humble idiot.

Mr. Zola, I eat my humble pie and salute you for the wonders you've done with this team, you have transformed West Ham United and made them play the beautiful game the way it should be played.

That goal against Wigan in the second half of the season was simply magnificent. To me Mr. Zola, that was the goal of the season. The way West Ham played the ball made me realize that you have simply replaced their boring style and successfully put in "The Zola Effect".

Thanks to you Mr. Zola, West Ham are now one of my favourite teams (no kidding).

That is why today, I apologize Mr. Zola and give you my vote as the manager of the year, for proving me and a lot of other humble idiots wrong. And I am confident that if you have a bigger budget than the one you had this year, then you would have no problems qualifying to the Europa League and even win it.

Yours truly,

Mohamed Eldin.
