Three More Names Emerge in Lopetegui Job Race

Guardian journalist Jacob Steinberg revealed what C&H reported last week—that West Ham’s match against Everton is a must-win game.

Adding another twist to the unfolding story, Steinberg—who maintains strong connections at the London Stadium—has named additional candidates for Julen Lopetegui’s Hammers job.

C&H sources at West Ham confirmed that Saturday’s Premier League game against Everton is seen as a must-win. In his column, Steinberg reports that the Hammers will review the head coach’s position if they lose to the Toffees.

Intriguingly, Steinberg also mentioned Sebastian Hoeness, Kasper Hjulmand, and Roger Schmidt as potential candidates for the Irons’ top job—all fresh additions to the rumoured list.

Steinberg further noted that West Ham had previously shown little interest in Graham Potter, despite recent links. While Potter is among the bookmakers’ favourites, C&H was informed at the time: “He’s done a good job at Brighton, but much of the success was due to the owner.”

    knowing what we do about Sullivan I would not hold my breath on a change taking place even if we were to lose to Everton he hates to admit he got it wrong that kind of respect for the fans just doesn’t happen where he’s concerned he has always been to slow to act surely he must realise that JL is a very bad coach with the quality players we now have at the club we should be flying high instead of being 14th in the league most clubs would have sacked JL by now he doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing there is nothing to suggest that he could turn things around but plenty to say it will get worse much worse so for once Sullivan needs to step up and get JL out of our club and bring in someone who knows what he is doing then just maybe we might make the euro spots

      Sully I think is going to surprise us all in a good way for once.

      He is a brilliant businessman and I don’t think he will stick with JLo past the weekend. JLo hasn’t done anything to impress us and Sully is no different.

      Times change and so has the Leadership Team. I’m sure Sully, Brady, Kresinsky & Tim have already got a contingency plan seeing as JLo is the worst we’ve ever seen! 🇪🇸🤡

      Maybe I should be careful what I wish for, but I’ve just got a feeling Sully will do the right thing.

  • Matt says:

    Gonzo, pinch me mate please 🙏

    Sully appointing Sebastien Hoeness would be his best decision EVER 🤩🤩🤩🤩

    Hoping we now put in a shoddy performance against Everton, but VAR saves us like against Man Utd if it means we get zee German and it’s adios 🇪🇸🤡

  • Matt says:

    I’d be over the moon if we get Hoeness 🤩

    Brighton fans were not sad to see Potter go, I’ve got mates that are season ticket holders there!

    I’d seriously get excited and forgive Sully for JLo, Allardyce and Avram Grant if we secure zee German!

    If you want to know why 👀👇

    Please please please 🙏 make this dream come true!

    thanks for clarifying that Saturday must win – would never have thought that.

    “While Potter is among the bookmakers’ favourites, C&H was informed at the time: “He’s done a good job at Brighton, but much of the success was due to the owner.”

    And there you have it – much of Brighton’s success was due to the owner! It’s just a shame that all we can say is that much of our current problems are due to our owner.

    Well, everybody makes mistakes but it is important that we learn from them. Let’s hope our major shareholder owner learns from his!

    • Matt says:

      If Sully appoints Hoeness I’d start respecting him! Trust me we’d be getting a truly talented coach who I believe can turn around this season instantly!

      So many teams are beating each other and if we act this weekend and dump JLo for this guy we can start to dream again!

      COYI

        Sorry chaps dream on sullies a freebe merchant so probably rednapp bfs or the likes

        • Matt says:

          Maybe 🤔 just maybe 🤔 there is a God! I’m positive for the first time since seeing Kudus on the 🛩️ next to Tim!

          COYI ⚒️♥️🩵

        • Matt says:

          I don’t think Sully would’ve entertained meeting Amorin if he wasn’t thinking about paying a release clause.

          I know he went for JLo in the end, but I’ve got a feeling that Hoeness is not as risky a choice as Amorin.

          Tim actually knows Hoeness and this also mitigates the risks involved. Plus, if we appointed the German Sully can get rid of both and he is in the clear!

          • Hammeroo says:

            Matt, with respect, Tim knows Halfkrug as well. Look how that turned out! 😱

            However, I clicked your link, had a look at the article and video clips and, yes, very impressive! So I’m in if Sully is willing to pay compo to get him away from his current contract. 💰

            If Sully won’t pay compo then I’ll stick with Graham Potter on a free. Simples! 🎲🤞
