Guys I've been reading on a few different sites that an agreement with Nuno is close? ?

I’ve read that there’s an emergency meeting today/tonight

NO emergency meetings, there’s been two meetings already, Kretinsky is favouring NUNO, Sullivan does NOT have a problem with this appointment, what he is unhappy with is the length of contract without break clauses in it, further NUNIO wants to get an agreed settlement with Forest, before he would take the job, these two things will decide the situation
OR a maybe it will break it

Lots of talk now of Kretinsky supposedly preferring Silva.

Frankly, he seems the most 'fit' to come in and deliver the style of play the fans want to see, as well as having the experience and calibre to succeed.

Obviously the problem is he's not been sacked so would cost us (the penny wise, pound foolish Chairman) money!

Let's just hope it's true, and Kretinsky can 'logic' Sullivan into submission.he's certainly got plenty of ammo with the last two failings on Sullivan's head, and maybe can galvanise the board to finally do the right thing.

The 10 point plan always said:

"6. Employ the best staff to take the club forward. While we are proud of the club's achievements, we should be clear it is not just down to the board. We have ensured we have the very best people in the right jobs, from football staff and sports science to the new stadium project team and supporter services. We can all see the difference these people are making to West Ham United and our progress on and off the pitch. West Ham is proud to be an equal opportunities employer who has the best interests of its staff and its customers at the heart of every decision the board makes."

About time they stuck to this one!

Silva is by far the best option of those identified on here. His teams play open positive football and he might just fit WHU. I still think we need a CEO and a Director of Football, but Silva could be the best alternative. My first choice would be Xavi now that Thomas Frank has gone, but that’s pissing in the wind.

Can you see Sullivan, coughing up £10 m, and a lot more if Silva comes with staff, especially as he’s pleading poverty on a continual basis, a cash injection/ Loan would be required, just to save face, and Silva wouldn’t stand for a rolling contract or break clauses either, in any contract issued
Let’s see the money, maybe Silva is willing, but he’d want a big say in everything like he has at Fulham, especially on transfers, that maybe too much for Sullivans ego
It’s a good call, but it’s obviously, against Sullivans wishes
Fans I guess will all be happy with this appointment, should it get made, it looks a big improvement on the last two

Silva has got a release clause of £8-£10m apparently and that is the sticking point, Sullivan is reluctant to pay it,

I can see Man U getting shot of their manager and going for silva. I would like Silva but can’t see it happening someone like glaziner might be a better choice as palace seem to be selling all their assets.
I can’t see the Bournemouth manager wanting to leave his job.

Talk about a false economy! Sullivan wastes millions on below average players, but refuses to pay compensation for a decent coach! Madness.

I wonder how much potter and all his team are going to cost Sullivan in compensation plus all the compensation he had to pay Loppy and his team to make us an even worse side than we were under Loppy. I’m so glad we’ve got a board that are experts on football ??

Loppys done now history, Been through Potter before, if he has the break clause in his contract, it’s a different story, with 7 months to run, it’s not mad money including paying off his staff 3 m and that’s negotiable, if lump sum, but if no break clause, it’s a saga, could be near double that

But adding all that up it will come to a similar amount as buying a decent manager out of their contract. It’s fools economy . Although having said all that there is no guarantee one of these managers would bring about the change we all hope to see.

I’m now told that Nuno has said ‘no’ to WHU. Unless Sullivan is flexible, we can forget Nuno.

I think he would have been a vast improvement but would have been back to square one in about 6 months.

Potter isn’t difficult to improve on, but Nuno’s football is a bit like Moyes, so I think you are quite right Hammer-D.
