A remarkable picture has been circulating in West Ham’s media world, appearing to show Hammers’ Director of Football, Tim Steidten, involved in a pre-match talk in the tunnel ahead of yesterday’s loss to Tottenham.
The German head of recruitment is seen wishing the players luck and patting West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen on the back before the game.
Steidten seems to be at the forefront of almost everything the Hammers do this season. He is regularly pictured at the Hammers’ Rush Green training ground, on the pitch before games, at half-time, and after the final whistle.
Steidten has a big influence at West Ham
His involvement contrasts sharply with last season when he was banned from the dressing room and training ground by former manager David Moyes. At that time, Steidten was accused of having conflicting interests, as he was tasked with hiring Moyes’ replacement while the Scotsman was still in charge.
Well I watched it on tnt sports and it wasn’t just a picture it was footage shown on tv as Steidten went from player to player as they lined up before the game.
Gonzo, who came up with this stupid title?
Incredible/Remarkable picture, why? “Involved in a pre-match talk” Well I guess it was before the match and we can assume somebody spoke, so technically not a false statement, just economic use of the truth. Google “Football Club Technical Director”, it adequately explains why his presence is not even noteworthy. Where the hell would you expect him to be on a match day?
He’s a senior figure at the club, it would be odd if there were no photo’s like this one.
Nope not having Stighten at all.
Look at the recruitment model at a little club like Brighton compared to ours,absolute joke we are.
I laughed when I saw the pic ‘Steidten has a big influence at West Ham’ and then saw him in the background on his mobile. lol.
This bloke has zero coaching experience at any level.
Get him away from the team, too many voices helps create the chaos we have with the team.
Maybe he can find us a centre forward, oh hold on he wasted 50m trying to do that.
Let’s see how quick he distances himself from everyone when the going gets tough…
