Just seen Lopetegui close to agreeing a deal with AC Milan, also read Sullivan and Steiden are very interested in Fonseca š¤·
26 Apr 2024 19:52:02
I saw the same Stevie. Now let's see what they do about it as marseille are also interested
26 Apr 2024 15:59:55
Marseille are also in the hunt for fonseca so guess we can rule him out
26 Apr 2024 18:59:07
Julen Lopetegui is reportedly close to agreeing personal terms with AC Milan
25 Apr 2024 10:39:34
Julen Lopetegui is waiting for AC Milan to make an approach and in the meantime the English media are relaunching the news of an offer from West Ham and of an imminent trip to England by the former Spain coach. Fake news or an attempt to hurry the Rossoneri? You make up your own mind but it wouldn;t surprise me
25 Apr 2024 11:32:21
All these allegations of fake news and/or tactical manoeuvring to force other clubs into making offers is beginning to closely resemble a political situation involving a certain man of orange hue, currently gripping the rail in New York. Knowing our luck, we are likely to end up with him as our new owner and the late OJ Simpson named as our new head coach! Iām sure it will all be resolved by the end of the season. In the meantime, letās just be thankful that David Moyes will not be in charge come August and the start of a new campaign! š
25 Apr 2024 14:49:06
Agreed Tin, just hoping we show some real ambition amd get a manager who will improve us and the football
25 Apr 2024 19:39:16
Couldn't agree more, but remember it's Sullivan who's in the driving seat, and he can't see over the dashboard!
26 Apr 2024 11:00:50
It seems Sullivan has held very positive talks with LOPETEGUI whereas STEIDTEN wants FONSECA, Tuchel and the Dortmund Manager
26 Apr 2024 11:32:15
You know whatās going to happen - Sullivan will overrule everyone and appoint Lopetegui; Steidten will wonder why heās here and possibly jump ship; several players will go; Lopetegui will make some f*ck ups; all the Moyes apologists will shout āwe told you so - be careful what you wish for! ā and weāll be back to square one, looking for a young attack minded coach. This is where I came in.
26 Apr 2024 13:00:24
Steitden wants the Stuttgart manager Sebastian hoeness . nephew of uli .
26 Apr 2024 13:30:05
STEIDTEN has an eye for a successful coach. Problem is it will come down to which manager SULLIVAN wants, not what STEIDTEN and the rest of the board want. Sullivan needs to take a long hard look in the mirror and think to himself "Regardless of who I want or like, who is best for our club"? But No.he won't. As Tin suggests, he will appoint Lopetegui, it will go pear shaped and then everyone will say "should have stuck with MOYES". Just look what the PALACE and VILLA managers have done with their clubs and here is us, seeing out MOYES days and messing about considering, mulling, pondering (Heard that before anywhere? )
24 Apr 2024 22:21:16
A manager who would suit us is Graham Potter. He's free and available.He did an excellent job at Brighton and Malmo. When Chelsea manager they were the best team we played at London Stadium that season, how we drew 1-1 was any ones guess. We should have been 5 or 6 down at half time. So, it's Potter for me.
25 Apr 2024 05:52:03
Iāve read that Potter is apparently in talks with Ajax š¤·
25 Apr 2024 07:12:31
Potter turned Ajax down.
26 Apr 2024 04:51:19
Thereās better than Potter out there.
26 Apr 2024 13:02:37
Don't be surprised if man utd step in and take glasner . Potter to palace if it happens.
24 Apr 2024 19:45:52
For me I'd like to see Fonseca take over. Lille beaten only 4 times in 29 outings and only lost to villa on penalties speaks volumes. He likes high press, high intensity teams with pace across the park, players who are comfortable on the ball and that encourage youth. Just what we need
25 Apr 2024 07:13:57
Sounds like the ideal combination in a manager and he is PORTUGESE and they all do well managing in the premier league. For me I wish they would just get on with it. There is due dilligence and then there is what SULLIVA likes to do and draw it out so it becomes and EPIC
25 Apr 2024 14:35:51
The only problem with Fonseca is that heās a bit of a journeyman - never stays too long in one place. Our next coach needs to be stable for a while if he is to rebuild.
24 Apr 2024 17:03:15
Leverage WAS the name of the game, as Amorim used WH and Liverpool, to enhance his prospects for Barcelona job, Steidten is still in pursuit don't see the point
24 Apr 2024 21:01:18
Amorim has CL football with Porto next season. That would be the best shop window for him. I see it has him enjoying the attention and milking the spot light.
25 Apr 2024 11:52:46
He is the Sporting Lisbon manager not Porto!
24 Apr 2024 15:27:12
There is a lot of Managers in the Premiership and Championship who wouldlove to be WH Manager, i watch a lot of Championship games and the entertainment value is great. We have tried overseas Managers but unless they have premiership or championship experience its a hit or miss call
24 Apr 2024 19:05:23
I am not sure I agree with that. The last overseas manager we had wasnāt too hot and he had won the premier league. There are many managers UK and foreign who have both been an immediate success or failure who have no premier league success. My feeling we have to be bold and hope TS has a potential up and coming manager in mind. But most importantly we need to give a new man time for his ideas to start to work. The new Bournemouth manager looked like a complete disaster after the first 8 matches but they stuck with him and he has done a great job with limited time and resources. Think how Wenger completely changed the old Arsenal set when he first arrived.
23 Apr 2024 15:03:33
Whats the betting we talk to 20 managers, make offers to 4 and we will end up keeping moyes
23 Apr 2024 15:42:29
Whatever do you mean OSHEE? We've only been linked with Thomas Tuchel, Amorim, Fonseca, Potter, Carrick, Mckenna, Arne SLOT, Mourinho, Benitez, Will Still, Steve Cooper and Hansi Flick so FAR. We have plenty of time to summon up some new Managers. Its the WEST HAM WAY
23 Apr 2024 15:43:57
And I missed out Lopetegui
23 Apr 2024 15:54:15
And donāt forget Alonso earlier in the season.
24 Apr 2024 07:13:51
Oshee Moyes is going. and this summer Sullivan will have one foot out the door as well.
24 Apr 2024 11:40:28
Wow, another to add to the list who we are apparently interested in could be Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzic! Is there anybody we are not interested in? This is farcical. And now MOYES has admitted to friends he will not be at WEST HAM at the end of the season?
In hindsight, the best time for Moyes to have gone wouldāve been at the end of last season after the Europa Conference League final win.
He couldāve left with his head held high and his reputation intact. If We were forward thinking enough too, we couldāve paid him off for the final year of his contract and gone in a new direction.
That we didnāt means that theyāve got to the end of yet another season and havenāt really progressed. Itās the same old, same old, year in and year out, always going for the easy option.
And now, just as per the summer transfer window, we are linked with every available manager under the sun. Instead of fixing our sites on 2 or 3 and quietly sounding them out, we love to splash it all over the tabloids and drag it out! You don;t hear MAN UTD or LIVERPOOL interested showing an apparent interest in 25 different managers!
24 Apr 2024 14:16:26
Moyes has NO friends, a fact heās spoken of many times, Media only reporting the obvious Heās leaving in June lazy lazy reporting, on their part, Daisy, WH, being used for leverage at present, WH need to keep quiet, go about their business, Steidten was super confident on Amorim, and heās come unstuck, , not a fact he will like very much
23 Apr 2024 13:01:03
Ok a lot of feeling in the below post. We have to be honest moyes has done a reasonable job over the last three years in terms of keeping us in mid table where as a club being realistic we are, a top 8-10 club. The problem is the style of football served up each week is direr. To take us to the next level we have to have a change of manager. I would not mind us winning a trophy each year no matter what tier people think it is. Thanks Dave but you are never going to break us into that top six bracket although some major investment in the team is required.
23 Apr 2024 14:59:51
Depends on your perspective and what you call reasonable lol
23 Apr 2024 11:24:49
West Ham are in shock, when Amorim said he would only keep 6 possibly 8 players from the current squad Keep areola, Emerson, Bowen, kudus Alvarez, and possibly three others the rest can go, Understandable, but how logistically can you build a squad so quick, we would need 16 players, for the squad, yikes . somehow I don't see him coming, to us yes if we had Ā£200 m plus sales, but we haven't, Steidten has tried his best, but it looks like Sloppy Loppy to me at this time, maybe also Amorim was using us for leverage. To gain attention elsewhere that is a possibility
23 Apr 2024 14:04:08
If Amorim has said that it sheds some light on how dire some of the players are that we have and how they've been carried for so long.
23 Apr 2024 15:00:59
Don't believe a word of it. West Ham will do the usual. Target 15 managers and go for the cheapest "yes" man
23 Apr 2024 15:43:35
Well we are up to 13 so far. Its becoming tiresome already. Just let MOYES go and make your blooming minds up quick and stop dragging it out as we always do
