There is much speculation suggesting Julen Lopetegui, will be sacked by West Ham, yet the decision will require a majority vote by the board. It is likely that he will depart with a pay out, which is usual for any managerial contract.
The club also want another manager in immediately should the axe fall on the Spanish Head Coaches short career at the London Stadium.
We are led to believe that talks took place yesterday. There was a 60/40 split and talks will resume over the next few days. David Sullivan and Vanessa Gold hold over 63.8% of the voting rights. Kretinsky has 27%, Smith 8% and the remaining 2.2% Harris and Brown.
A number of managers have been linked and Martin Treasure highlighted some of these in a previous article.
These include Edin Terzic, Sergio Conceicao, and Kasper Hjulmand (leaked by Sky Deutschlands Florian Petterburg) a close contact of Tim Steidten.
An outsider is also Massimiliano Allegri who had a successful career at Juventus, yet is reportedly demanding a high salary to join the Hammers.
A number of sources have also identified Graham Potter, who oddly enough was the bookies favourite. The link may have come about due to certain board members favouring the appointment of an English manager – yet we believe that this would not be a unanimous decision. Ironically, Potter was reporting at the Leicester City game.
With the Wolves game on Monday, it is hoped that any decision is imminent given the uncertainty it creates for all involved.
We all have our say on here, but does anyone think the bosses see it.i doubt it,what we need to force the chairman to go, is for us to boycot certain games so they look empty in the stands specially games on TV. Our attacking players are very good, just this manager does not have any idea how to play them. The club needs a complete overall, a takeover is what we need,someone who is not scared to spend money.
A delay through dithering is the worst outcome. Problem is Dully and Brady have 68% vote and already blew it with Lope in the first place. Personally I would back Tim’s choice, it’s one of his reasons for employment.
Why is it that the hierarchy in this club keep looking for out of work managers do they not ask the question WHY they are unemployed it seems obvious to me but I’m not on the board. So I assume we won’t be shopping at Harrods more like Poundland, sometimes I think I’ve wasted 60yrs of my life but hey ho the joy of being a Hammer.🤔🤔
Just f***ING get on with it and put us all out of our misery. You lot couldn’t organise a p*** up in a brewery. We are a laughing stock. Time for Sullivan and co to go.
C&H always have direct or backhanded agenda with Tim 👇
(leaked by Sky Deutschlands Florian Petterburg) a close contact of Tim Steidten.
Do you honestly think we can’t through all the leaks, lies and propaganda from Sully & Brady on C&H, Hammers News, Talksport and other media outlets with loaded fabricated stories that are anti Tim?
Sullivan caused this season to be a write off after his disastrous appointment. Trying to detract the blame from him and point fingers 👉 Tim is nearly as bad as JLo’s tactics, team formations and results.
Extremely poor form IMO
Why delay the inevitable, it’s a shambles hes rowed with todibo ,kudus, Alvarez fulkrug and Rodriguez want out ,his tactics haven’t worked in sixteven matches apart from Ipswich which like Newcastle was a false dawn ,werwere in fourteenth yet we lost the last two games shipping eight goals and the teams below have picked up points sucking us towards bottom three ,he needs to go to unify the squad and also the fans, if this is all down to Sullivan pride because he picked after being advised not to ,then he needs to look in the mirror and reavaluate his position in this club
Spot on Bill.
No amount of Top Source fabricated stories about Tim, his signings, homesickness, or associating signings to our DoF when they’re obviously not his choices can deflect the blame from Sullivan!
Makes me cringe when I see our fans getting easily sucked in by propaganda.
There is only one egotistical idiot that has a negative impact on West Ham and that’s our Chairman!
For Christ sake get this sorted you dithering clowns.
January window ( yes, it’s hard, players not available blah blah) we need some younger dynamic players who can get around the pitch – midfield priority !
So, sort this out Sullivan, the new man needs to be in NOW to address this.
Can still see Lopsy in charge for Wolves – totally unbelievable and would only happen at West Ham.
The poor sufferings fans in attendance if JLo is still in charge at the Wolves game should make it known how we really feel instead of venting on here!
Just put us and JL out of this misery
Sloppy out NOW!
Trouble is we have more owners than John Lewis which is why decisions are slow and indecisive.
Once again it’s all being played out very publicly similar to the end of Moyes tenure. Everyone knows he’s off including the players.
3 of the candidates are wild cards so Sully won’t be a fan. We’re not progressive enough to select a young unknown manager. The sack decision is now being held up by whether Potter wants it or not. Another ‘meh’ appointment but he has to be better than JL.
Beatrice Potter would be better than JLo let alone Graham Potter 🤣
Potter isn’t the answer, neither are majority of the out of work and available coaches C&H link us with vis top sources.
2024 has been one of the most depressed in a very long time as a Hammer. Getting battered
under Moyes and now this clown.
We need a new coach immediately to restore some passion, pride, performances and points!
2025 hopefully if we finally get a proper coach will see us dust off this year, wipe if from the mind and enjoy some football for a change 🙏
How can anyone who cares about the club vote for this idiot to stay ? The only consideration could be financial .
Awful appointment from the beginning followed by a string of awful signings . No hope of Sullivan going so second prize is Loopy Loppy and Streiden out and pronto while we still have a chance of survival .Forget about Europe the squad is not good enough . Moyes left a bucket full of S—e and nothing has changed . .
Bite the bullet NOW and get rid !!
If finances are the prime concern NOT getting rid of him is not the wise call. A worse case scenario of relegation would confirm that.
I disagree that the squad is not good enough for euro contention. It’s simply in the wrong hands.
The idiot who appointed him will be the same idiot that votes for him to stay. Probably with the other idiot that agrees with everything Sullivan says = Brady.
