Jean-Clair Todibo could seek an exit from his West Ham agreement if Julen Lopetegui remains as Hammers head coach.
The French central defender was signed from Ligue 1 club Nice on loan, with an obligation to buy, provided West Ham avoid relegation.
However, sources suggest Todibo is looking for a way out of the deal if Lopetegui continues in charge. The former Barcelona centre-back reportedly had an altercation with Lopetegui earlier this week, requiring the pair to be separated.
What followed was the humiliation of Todibo being told to train with the under-21s, away from the first team. As a result, the player is said to have informed Tim Steidten of his desire to leave should Lopetegui remain at the helm.
Furthermore, the same source has told Claret & Hugh this morning that Todibo is not the only player to have been publicly humiliated by Lopetegui this season.
What is clear is that the torrent of negative stories emanating from the club makes Lopetegui’s position appear increasingly untenable. If even half of these reports reach the boardroom ahead of Friday’s meeting on his future, it seems certain the Spaniard’s time at West Ham is coming to an end.
Bloody great ! Finally !!!speaking about him before he arrived after he started the start of 2024/25 season throughout till today, finish him off & start again with someone new
As much as I want the manager gone. Maybe they player in question should show a bit more heart.
For sure, he should, if it’s true he’s given ultimatum. Embarrassing.
SH1Tpetegui is causing a SH1t show at Westham and the only solution is sack him now .Honestly it’s as if LOSEpetegui is being paid by another club to f..k up Westham . He desperately wants to be paid off to leave , what a scammer .He scammed every other club he coached in the last 5 years out of millions in multiple pay offs .He waited in the shadows for his next victim like a vampire before pouncing on Westham and sucking the life out of the club . Will Sullivan thrust forth the stake and finish him off ?
Phil do you believe in chemtrails, too?
Chemtrails be real fool.
Let’s be honest, he looks a bang average defender with no pace and weak in the air and positioning.
Jog on….
Wrong. He is a young quality CB. Much better than Mavro.
Jog on…..
Watching a number of the other players on Tuesday, I think there are a few that don’t want to play for him, which is a huge concern. Yes, they should be playing for the badge and should want to win every match as professionals, but if they are demotivated and disillusioned with something that clearly isn’t working, then something needs to be done. These are players that have been assembled for the head coach, and the basic requirement of his job is that he needs to be able to motivate and lead them, right now he couldn’t lead a flock of homing pidgeons, and I don’t see how that is going to change at this stage of the guys career. We look devoid of leaders full stop, on and off the field.
Might as well go now. If we replace Julen now then Todibo will only do the same with the next one. How sad is that.
you’re a bit of a joke, really, aren’t you? so transparent. you’re not fooling anyone
ha ha rc XX
Ok, Nostradamus.
Put Noble in charge immediately solves all such issues and is someone the fans will definitely be happy with in the interim.
Nones, Kevin Keen and Nolan, what could be worse until the end of the season, get this joker out. I don’t condemn Mr Sullivan, he’s invested a massive amount of money. But for ffs Sully dump this knob
If JLo stays Todibo can exercise the release clause as per his agreement 🤦♂️
