Nuno Espírito Santo’s strange team selections over the last two games has caused many to scratch their heads – which reportedly included his backroom staff. Sources have suggested that they questioned his team selection for the Brentford and Leeds games.
Now conspiracies are emerging that the Portuguese manager is staging a protest against the club board, having believed he would be able to bring in his own back room staff when he accepted the job as West Ham Head Coach.
His former goalkeeper coach Rui Barbosa was seen on the bench at the Brentford home game having been released by Nottingham Forest following Sean Dyches appointment – yet West Ham haven’t officially confirmed that he has joined West Ham, and the club website still states that Billy Lepine occupies that role.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s demeanour is concerning
During the Leeds United game Nuno’s body language spoke volumes. He rarely consulted his backroom team while he stood on the sidelines watching the mess unfold.
His continued omission of a natural striker is also being viewed as a pointed reminder to the board that reinforcements are urgently needed in the January transfer window if the club is to avoid relegation.
With West Ham languishing in 19th place, the timing of this internal strife couldn’t be worse. A squad already low on confidence and cohesion now faces the added burden of managerial uncertainty and speculation about behind-the-scenes power struggles.
I’m afraid Nuno points is going in the same direction as potty Potter and Loopy Lu in this circus of a football club.
How as this conclusion been reached?
Pure guff.but at least its interesting better than the real version.the only way out of a bad dream is to wake up and realise that’s what it is.the whole of west ham is one big dream.time to wake up now.
All it is is a conspiracy theory or as I tend to think a non story.
Sullivan and Brady the shambolic gift that keeps giving. One day we might have a competent, professional run club, but not with these two clowns in charge. Brady your fired and take that useless article Sullivan with you. Nothing changes while those two are in charge. Shambolic mess after shambolic mess.
If it cant work with Nuno Hasnt worked with Potter or Loopy Lu Its got to be the board at fault here hasnt it Tells it’s own story
