I'm reading on some sites that we seem to be approaching managers that are already at other teams, like Parker and Marko Silva. Apparently Kretinski's idea. I find this hard to believe and could be more fake news released to placate the fans but if it is true it would be a step in the right direction.
1.) 23 Sep 2025 19:47:36
Kretinsky is not frightened to pay another club an exit fee for a manager, whilst to Sullivan, paying an exit fee for another manger, is like breaking the holy grail so maybe some persuading has been coming on, we shall see
2.) 23 Sep 2025 20:47:28
Any chance Bellamy?
Definitely a positive option for me.
3.) 24 Sep 2025 07:30:40
If we tie two things together:
1. That David Sullivan really does care about West Ham (supposedly, him and Dave "Longfella" Hunt bonded over a shared love of West Ham, and Ampika has been pretty vociferous in her defence of this via her socials last few days)
2. That Krentinsky is here and influencing the process after two f**k ups by Sullivan in hiring.
Just maybe the 'lady could be for turning'?
4.) 24 Sep 2025 09:36:57
NOT of utmost importance to Kretinsky 1.5% of his total wealth is invested in WH, he has intervened to save his small investment being wiped out, principally by Brady, who’s ideas where influencing Sullivan too much
HE is a million miles more astute than Sullivan, personally I would like to see him take the club over, which he could do easily
IF WH drop clubs value sinks below the radar, presently 8 /5 to be relegated
5.) 24 Sep 2025 12:11:22
Come on lads, we need a CEO and a Director of Football before a permanent appointment of a head coach. Ain’t going to happen though.
6.) 24 Sep 2025 14:42:15
Exactly Tin it ain’t going to happen! So we have to make do with next best and try and get a decent manager which probably ain’t going to happen either!
7.) 24 Sep 2025 18:56:04
We aren't going to get anyone decent let's face it no manager worth his salt will want to work with the squad we have they will just end up leaving with a tarnished reputation, we have missed loads of opportunities to kick on, the board have proven time again how inept they are and they way they treat people is disgusting, welcome to wear ham Mr dyche!
8.) 24 Sep 2025 19:33:10
I can’t disagree with that but much as I would like them to sell up and P.O they are not going to.
I really hope you are not right regarding Dyche. Nuno ain’t a great long term bet but he’s got to be better than that c**t
18 Sep 2025 20:43:41
Just read on claret and Hugh that they had an investor yesterday interested in buying all or most of Gold's shares.
So apparently Karen Brady decides to show him around the Rush Green facilities ???
WTF was she thinking, this will really impress an investor ?
1.) 18 Sep 2025 21:14:40
Because it’s the only thing West Ham own ?
2.) 19 Sep 2025 09:28:36
They are not interested in the. Club they just want to buy the portakabins, there’s a lot of them there, WH happy to sell them, players have been asked to bring their own tents to change in
3.) 19 Sep 2025 10:01:22
Now that made me smile. ?
10 May 2025 10:58:54
I keep seeing Ramsdale being sited as a potential buy for West Ham at 20 million.
Is there any truth in this and if so, I take it this would be a choice of Sullivan.
I think we would be mad to buy a keeper that is probably a step down or side step at best on what we have already.
1.) 10 May 2025 11:38:50
There is truth in this, but WH can do a lot better, and for less money
2.) 10 May 2025 13:35:37
Further to the above post, Salthouse pushing Atabolu Gk Freiburg, his client, as mentioned previously, he’s a good Gk coming up 23, , personally I’d take him in front of Ramsdale now 27, , plus he will cost less, and wages a bit less, Atabolu not hit his peak yet, FOR ME, this position is very important, to stop goals going in, is as important as to score them, just my opinion
3.) 10 May 2025 19:52:49
This is my own opinion. Ramsdale is certain to be a WeJ player next season.
14 Jun 2024 19:32:21
It seems we are in for a Colombian striker called Jhon Arias. Says on C&H signing imminent and should sign for around £11 Million in the next few days.
It seems slightly different to the usual rumour this seems more certain
1.) 14 Jun 2024 20:37:32
This kid Jhon Arias is some player. Very very highly rated Colombian. The team next season will have a very exciting look to it if this continues
2.) 15 Jun 2024 09:05:57
A right footer too, which makes a change.
31 Jan 2024 20:39:05
Not sure if this is common knowledge but just seen that Liverpool are considering moving in for Tim Steidten as their head of recruitment.
If true it is very worrying
1.) 31 Jan 2024 23:06:31
Discussed below.
2.) 01 Feb 2024 07:04:46
They've agreed a deal with XABI ALONSO tot ake over at the end of the season when KLOPP goes so guess who is next on the hit list especially as the DIRECTOR of FOOTBALL is also leaving? If our let lose him because of our sheer incompetence during transfer windows, then am done with these clowns
3.) 01 Feb 2024 07:50:36
I get what you mean Daisy, it's incredible. What do we reckon Paqueta has the same mysterious long term calf injury that cornet had. All these poor signings who moyes wanted!
4.) 01 Feb 2024 11:44:56
Cheers Tinny I didn’t notice that ?
5.) 01 Feb 2024 12:14:37
No problem. We’re all guilty of missing stuff. ??

Well I didn't see the game today but it was painful listening. I don't think anyone realistically thought we would win.
I think the next 5 games are crucial to how the season will pan out. There are a lot of problems Nuno has to try and sort out but I think the most important is to get us winning at home. No wins at home since February is disgraceful hopefully that will change.
21 Sep 2025 12:39:14
Just read on the West Ham way apparently potter doesn't think it is the time when we need to give any of the youth team a run in the side. This guy's ineptitude knows no bounds
1.) 21 Sep 2025 15:46:39
How about Scott Parker, assisted by Micheal Carrick and Mark Noble (until he gets his coaching badges) .
At least we'd have a midfield.
2.) 21 Sep 2025 17:07:39
Is noble actually doing his coaching badges?
We need to utilize some of the youngsters they can’t do any worse that what many of the senior players have done. So I would like a manager that encourages that, like MacKenna but don’t think he will be asked by our useless board
04 Sep 2025 18:43:01
I see Tottenham have managed to get shot of Daniel Levy. He was particularly unpopular with their fans. That should give us a bit of heart as I can only think of him and our board (maybe Radcliffe and co) who seem to operate in the old school way. I think they are bringing in a more professional team to run the clubs affairs. Which is what we are in desperate need of.
1.) 04 Sep 2025 23:47:24
His not going to far he is still a major shareholder something like 27%
2.) 05 Sep 2025 05:50:02
I think you are right HEC but I think that is a similar sort of thing people organising the protests are at least asking for. To prevent the board meddling with the way the club is run. on the pitch.
I think with spurs Joe Lewis has always been the person with the real money.
3.) 06 Sep 2025 12:31:44
He still owns 29%, do you honestly believe he will just be silent in the background? He will still be pulling the strings with someone else getting the blame.
31 Aug 2025 13:37:23
Any predictions for today?
Better line up and playing 4 at the back. Will still go for a forest win 2 or 3.-1
My bets are usually wrong so hopefully this will continue and the reverse will happen
1.) 31 Aug 2025 14:48:12
Paqueta is dog rubbish and Fulkrug. And Sullivan says he's not for sale? Your having a laugh
2.) 31 Aug 2025 14:52:57
Sorry but ward prowse is crap when the ball is played to him 90% of his passes go back to the player wether the player is marked on unmarked, he just won’t look for another ball it’s frustrating as hell to watch. Need some1 in there with pace and vision, same as his corners every1 is deep and lofted everytime, there’s no change up from the guy, he’s a one trick pony that has ran its last race.
3.) 31 Aug 2025 15:15:20
Potts should be in his place
4.) 31 Aug 2025 15:17:32
Midfield looks balanced today as does the side.
5.) 31 Aug 2025 22:10:15
Care to retract your original point @Mac3
31 Aug 2025 13:19:46
The line today seems more like it. Especially as paqueta had refused to play ?
Surprised to see him and Fernandez in the side surprised he has dropped AWB he was poor v Chelsea but how many times has he been our best player so think that don't seem right. Here hoping if we could just get Souchek and JWP out we may have a better chance.
1.) 31 Aug 2025 14:34:44
But Paqueta never refused to play.
2.) 31 Aug 2025 15:14:31
I appreciate that Tin I was being sarcastic as so many believe that
16 Oct 2025 15:17:08
Fair point daber I didn’t think about the WC. Would still find it difficult to see him wanting to join us or us paying his wages even only for 6 months. I think we will be looking in the modern day Hartson / Kitson area
16 Oct 2025 09:22:41
Firstly I don’t think we could get anywhere near his wages, also Ii don’t think any half decent player will look at West Ham until we start moving up the league and I don’t think many people want to deal with our board.
Let’s hope our form now improves and we move up the league and a buyer comes in for the club………. oh well we can dream
14 Oct 2025 17:20:04
I think we are exactly in the position we should be. It could be argued that maybe should be bottom as wolves form has picked up the last 3 games. Hopefully Nuno can help us get a few decent results under our belt
12 Oct 2025 17:11:08
If you want to stop paying people for being rubbish then we should have stopped paying Potter’s wages back in February
29 Sep 2025 05:50:41
Fair point Gerry I didn’t realise it was high. I just spoke to a couple of mates who are spurs fans and they said he was crap. But that is a decent win rate.
17 Oct 2025 15:38:59
IMO it’s a difficult one. I think he is by far our most talented player and I think he always tries to progress the ball forward and always looking for defence splitting pass, which sadly doesn’t always come off.
But I reluctantly agree that it would be best to get that sort of money, as he isn’t consistent and has a habit of throwing himself on the floor when not touched. But obviously that money has to be spent well and there is no evidence that would happen. I know he hasn’t played many games but thus far I have seen nothing to suggest Fernandez justifies his £40m price tag. We can’t waste money like we allowed potter to do in January. Diouf is the only decent purchase thus far.
11 Oct 2025 20:34:03
You are spot on regarding the internationals Tin. I am still interested in following England and other qualifiers but they should just be played midweek as champions league matches are. Back pre 90s that’s how it was done and most clubs had much smaller viable squads then.
09 Oct 2025 12:54:48
I think Potts is a very good player and deserves to start. I think magassa will be good if he can just learn how to tackle as he is like Alvarez on steroids when it comes to rash tackles. I hope he gives Fearon or Kante a chance .
Playing the sort of counter attacking football he likes to play speed is essential and I assume the youngsters have it and let’s not forget Guilherme. Although he hasn’t set the word alight with his talent so far hopefully he will come good ?
06 Oct 2025 10:08:35
Diouf did seem to have a mare. As you say great going forward but not at the other end. I wonder if there is a way he can bring back Scarles at LB yet still incorporate Diouf in the team by pushing him forward, I’m not sure he can be shoe-horned in.
04 Oct 2025 14:51:18
I think all managers have their favoured systems when it worked elsewhere.
Fulkrug is seen as the new Chris wood
