A job advert for the role which can still be found here says the role includes: “Development and management of a high-quality Player Care provision, including the relocation and integration process of new Players and their families to the Club and the local area, whilst also providing ongoing care, assistance and support to current players and First Team management.

Welcome aboard , Hugo . Watch those sneaky hamburgers .
An excellent move..
We have to get serious about the quality of our club if we are serious about WHU’s future.
Let’s survive the drop, and then find a pathway for next season’s top 6 (= lot’s of money!!).
Seriously, I don’t even care if we don’t make the top 6 next season- at this stage of life, I just wanna see our team playing nice football (like Spurs, Liverpool etc).
Why is my comment awaiting moderation??
Just the other day I made the same question . The answer was honest . I was told it is everyone and not pinpointed at me . I accept the respons .
I think just as long as you are not abusive and extremely provocative towards others on this forum you should be ok . But that doesn’t mean I support the March or the protests .
In fact some of these marchers are probably not even West Ham Fans .
The Board is trying hard to get things right . They deserve at least our pacience. They are trying to make the right moves in this very complicated & competitive world of Football . Good preparation is the basis of any successful project . If we survive this season we can at least look forward to something better next season . Mid table would be ok ( as we are so used to being just a number amongst 20 ) but a top six finish is what we crave .
Really want AC up and fit and fighting again … we have missed him for two years in realty .
Somebody is going to feel the backlash of our poor performance over the past couple of games . As a fan of many years I have seen it time & time again . We will very likely hammer Burnley and gain three points only to be let down on the following game . It’s part and parcel of who we are and the West Ham way . Like it or not that’s what we do best .
Ups and downs are our trade mark , sadly , there are too many downs at times to cope with as fans . We are trying to increase the percentage of ups as regards the downs . I feel that we shall survive this season as a Premiership Club ,, but only just . What we obviously need to do is build a stronger squad that wants to play for the Claret & Blue and all it represents . We have seen and heard the ideal and theology of buying British,, but it hasn’t happened . IN MY OPINION IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN . big foreign names don’t work without megga bucks . The mighty shall fall one day ; what we need , is to be there when they do .
