Billy, wether by accident or design you are correct!, I have just been told, that intent is to keep 5/7 players as a nucleus, they are as you state Areola Alvarez Kudus Bowen Emerson, two probable stays are JWP and Mavrapanos, . Johnson has had his final offer, so he's in the balance , if he accepts he will, stay as player no 8 if not he leaves :: three players Antonio, Fabianski, and coufal, have stated they have signed one year extensions, if so they will stay As part of squad. no free transfers for them, Mubama, Ogbonna cresswell, can leave , Ings cornet, Soucek Paqueta, can be sold if possible, , WH hope to raise £110 m , you can see that, 4/5 m for Cornet and £105m between Paqueta and Soucek, yes possible, WH have a big spend coming up, At least 90 m will be available, in addition to that, On Ings we will have to let him go on a free, or very little, nobody will rush to take him on £125 k a week SO TIM, you stated WH was a five year plan to make top six, away you go, we areNOT stuck for funds, no nonsense excuses from the board, Sloppy Loppy has intense knowledge of Spanish and Portuguese players, there's going to be some suprise signings, coming up, we need many players, let's GO

Hey Joyful, thanks for the insight. I think we can all agree this clear out has been well overdue. We have players that are either past their best or not up to the grade and it will be nice to see if lopetegui is ruthless and cuts them. He has always had midfielders who are gifted play makers and comfortable on the ball so Soucek is a gonner. Paqueta will go city. Antonio, Cresswell, ogbonna and zouma will go. Clearly he will keep bowen and kudus and build around them
02 May 2024 18:59:04
Not much chance getting De Zerbi in from Brighton despite the rumours, as Bayern. And Monaco are on the case .CONTE being chased by CHELSEA, looks like Pochetino could be on his way major merry go round in the making, WH should leave Sloppy Loppy well alone, best shouts at the moment Fonseca or Flick, Whatever happens now, Moyes cannot stay on, Although the vast majority of us. Want to see him gone, we must give him a huge vote of appreciation before, during, and after Luton game, he's not the man going forward but he's worked hard., and good luck to him wherever he goes
{Ed002's Note -It will be Julen Lopetegui, perhaps Potter. Remote chance Fonseca.}
1.) 03 May 2024 07:55:25
Hey Ed, thanks for that, but knowing our board it could be SAM ALLARDYCE. Any manager on a budget is how we work!
2.) 03 May 2024 11:07:02
I’m afraid it’s looking more like Lopetegui as days pass. Typical; Sullivan gets the chance to appoint a new exciting coach, but may well opt for the one least likely to succeed. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot with a machine gun! Whatever have we done to deserve the poison dwarf who thinks he looks like a general! ?
3.) 03 May 2024 12:54:50
Hope you're wrong Ed. If the poison drawf goes ahead an appointments lopetegui. The frustrations and anger from the fans will be directed at him and not Lopetegui.
{Ed002's Note - Julen Lopetegui (C) Seen as an option for West Ham United – probably now first choice. He has already rejected Crystal Palace. Milan saw him as an option but there is some concern and they can be dismissed. His success rate is good but not great and he never stays long. As a coach a good reputation as a head coach or manager I would be nervous – but West Ham may not be.}
26 Apr 2024 11:10:03
WH trying to get the edge with Valentin Carboni of Milan, the Italian side not keen to sell him, but they might let him go to WH for a year without options, WH want to buy him let's see if anything happens
25 Apr 2024 11:22:27
Although WH will bid for Goncalves, they will look at a bid for Jota Silva winger playing for Vitoria in Portugal,
24 Apr 2024 17:29:37
Sloppy Loppy has at 2 pm just received contract offer. 3 years on 5m basic, plus a whole variety of bonuses, team building, transfers, budget, too be discussed, , As I mentioned the other day I thought he might get the job, , only things in the way, are footballing concerns not financial, let's see how this pans out, wether it suits all parties
1.) 24 Apr 2024 18:44:18
If true, Is he really an upgrade on Moyes, ?
2.) 24 Apr 2024 19:28:47
Not in my own opinion stevie, the saving grace, might be differing. Transfer ideas, and how quick WH want big squad changes, but at this moment of writing he is UNFORTUNATELY the front runner, I was hoping for better, but you never know,
3.) 25 Apr 2024 07:09:50
Very disappointing but hey, SULLIVAN and his members know who's best. let's all trust in SULLIVAN and he will get the right man for the job he he lol
4.) 25 Apr 2024 19:20:13
Sullivan is a clown. If he goes for Lopetuigui, he will piss of the fans and Tim stiedten in one swoop.
I can see he thinks this is a safer bet and cheaper alternative to the other names linked. Maybe the thinking is that the other younger progressive managers will need to do change the squad more drastically that what lop would. Imo the only players worth keeping are the ones that would be able to play more progressive football anyway.
Generally think he's the worse option out of all the managers we've been linked to so far.
5.) 27 Apr 2024 16:16:01
Lopetegui was never getting the job . It was a combination of the media and certain fan channels fanning the flames . Knowing it was going to piss off the fanbase . Good for one side to point fingers at our fanbase. The others only want viewers .

Will Still has been made odds -on favourite for the Sunderland job, doesn't look anything connected to WH, However if he comes to Uk and does well, he may well one day manage WH but don't think so at present
1.) 02 May 2024 20:35:40
There were strange reports that we asked one of the managers if he would be willing to take the job in 2 years, I thought with Still being linked to Sunderland it might have been him.
02 May 2024 10:53:02
As mentioned previously, it was never going to be possible to get in 12 players in one window so Antonio has now joined coufal and Fabianski , on one year contract extension, that's after much tooing and froing WH next week are set to match Palace offer of +£48 k a week to Ben Johnson, three year deal, late try, might work , doubt it, IF they offer cresswell One year on same terms as now he will probably stay, but they cut offer in half, BUT why do they want him to stay, yes of course a renewal is so much easier, than finding new player, but he's past it now, and so is Ogbonna, who's. About to leave, WH are renewing to cut down the search for sheer numbers of replacements it makes senses financially, but no sense at al on the field, Not that there's any value in it, but I will post later what I think will be the strategy
30 Apr 2024 18:31:54
Moyes must be wringing his hands in desperation it's becoming news that the complete Man United squad is for sale 22 players! Only three do they want to keep, all fair. offers considered for the rest, like WH on steroids! They also want a load of younger players gone as well, with all the new rules coming in there's going to be lots of players on the market, this may be ideal for us as we will be needing so many, on the other hand it might push prices down, for our sales, time will tell the story
1.) 01 May 2024 02:19:21
He must be like a kid in a candy shop with both hands tied behind his back!
2.) 01 May 2024 07:21:21
To be honest I'm not sure there are many from Man Utd that I would want. The over inflated ego's afte earning 100's of thousands of pounds a week which was thrown at them at MAN UTD! United think they can win trophioes by throwing money at players and managers and look how its turned out.
For me, keep your players, we need to be looking for younger, faster, more enthusiastic players with energy and a hunger for the game, not for how much they can rinse from the club.
Explain to me how Man Utd pay £90m for Anthony and we get KUDUS for £35m Where is the common sense.
Anyway, as for the managerial farce, it seems AC MILAN fans have dug there heels in and AC Milan are not looking at CONTE as the new manager and not LOPETEGUI. Seems we've had talks with HANSI FLICK earlier in the year and we are now ready to step up our interest in FONSECA, however, MARSEILLE are very interested so I'd suggest we get out skates on
29 Apr 2024 17:43:11
Cresswell was offered a years extension, at apparently. 20k a week, , it seems that he can do better money wise, and get a two year deal elsewhere, to be honest I don't even understand, why a contract was offered, he has stated a dozen times he's leaving, wants to be a lot nearer house he's built near Liverpool, I think it's beginning to dawn on Steidten that it's going to be impossible to replace ( in one window ) all of those lleaving at end of contracts, plus al, those that want to leave, about a dozen in all, we are likely to get 4 in maybe 6 at a maximum, so there's going to be perhaps a rethink about who's leaving, and how many youngsters can be played, interesting times .?
1.) 30 Apr 2024 06:28:51
I don't understand any of this? Why are we taregtting players and offering new contracts until we get a new manager, that's if they really intend on getting a new manager which am beginning to doubt
2.) 30 Apr 2024 09:46:50
I don’t get it either, one minute, Antonio is staying for the option of a year, as an extra. Striker OK fair enough, two weeks later, he’s not wanted, Loptegui is Moyes updated, a.bit more tactically aware, but that’s it, not the greatest descision, I was hoping for a clean sweep, there’s been a lot of talking, but when push comes to shove, nothings going to change except a name, Sullivan is just frightened to make serious changes, BUT that’s what Steidten was employed for, this could turn from exciting times to a proper mess, I hope it’s not a great opportunity wasted
29 Apr 2024 10:04:04
Sloppy Loppy takes Milan job that's the favourite gone
1.) 29 Apr 2024 11:14:38
From what I’ve heard if we had got him that would have been ‘ground hog day’! ?
2.) 29 Apr 2024 15:20:29
Sorry, as much as I would like you to be right regarding Sloppy Loppy taking the Milan job I can't find this story anywhere. I last heard that the Milan supporters had handed a signed petition demanding he does not become there next manager, and that Milan have cooled on his appointment.
3.) 29 Apr 2024 18:13:48
Yep you could be right HM . The rumour mill is in full swing. If he is as dull as people are suggesting hopefully he won’t end up with us………

24 Apr 2024 14:10:10
Hammer 7580, don’t know where you are getting your info from mate, Sullivan greeted Amorim, then Steidten. Did a presentation, , Sullivan went home , met the Portuguese to talk finance , in private at his house, NOT that it matters, from what I understand, Sullivan offered 200k a week plus bonuses, should equal 12 m a year, a large amount on transfers plus all sales, BUT if you note I alluded to the fact we might be being used for leverage, and that’s exactly what it looks like, , regards to you
23 Apr 2024 15:23:09
The meeting centered on a 3 season change at WH, with Steidten and Sullivan, thinking we can change gradually, over 5/6 windows Amorim. Wants immediate change (can’t blame him for that ) The volume of players not wanted is large …. Sounds great, but who is going to want Ings at £125k a week for example, and irregardless of how much money we have to spend, and it’s healthy, can we get in the amount of fresh players required in this window, I mentioned yesterday that a visit to us looks like leverage, for what I don’t know, I would love to see him at WH, but no club can do this turnaround it’s impossible , so unless something changes Amorim can be forgotten
03 Apr 2024 16:50:27
In this particular case it’s Sullivan. That was furious with Moyes, in January, as he had already given the nod on all four players, mentioned, then Moyes gave them all the no no, he only wanted the disastrous Phillips that’s why new contract would be entirely different, Moyes is SOLELY to blame for no bench, Sullivan and Steidten totally blameless, Steidten wanted to know what he had been employed for? He was wasting his time and efforts, for Moyes to Turn his back on decent players, it was a crazy situation, it’s not going to happen again, Moyes might try to renegotiate the contract, so he’s in charge of transfer business again. But it’s not going to happen, otherwise it’s goodbye to Steidten and his. Clique they will be off
03 Apr 2024 13:11:29
This is ALL down to Moyes, he turned away three players in January, and signed Phillips, all of these players that could easily make our team, on top of that he vetoed Gudmonsen early in January whereas Genoa had been ready to accept 24 m euros, a proven goal scorer, this man, Ings cornet cresswell etc are a drop in quality, In reality only Johnson can be brought on, and he’s leaving soon anyway, we have a 14 player first team squad at present, that’s. It and One of the main reasons, WH must part with Moyes, there is a light at end of tunnel though if he chooses to sign the new contract offered, he will not be able to veto any players, as he has been able to at present, until seasons end no injuries or suspensions we are ok, if not we are in trouble, that’s it rant over

Whilst your intentions are appreciated, by 99% of fans on here, media are behind, the timeline, Sloppy Loppy signed up on Friday, only Sullivan is yet to finalise, (which is expected Tuesday / Wednesday) and announced later …….all betting has been refused since, Friday noontime, which underpins this post, It doesn’t appear that one single supporter wants this man, BUT let’s hope we are wrong, on a positive note, after yesterday how much worse can it get .? Tim. Steidten wanted a five year plan, to make us a top six club, well he’s now got that brief over to you Tim, he will be able to work with Loppy and Noble, unlike Moyes there will be no problems there, they are already at it , could be some surprise signings to come, we have to hope for a turnaround
30 Apr 2024 09:46:50

27 Apr 2024 18:54:19
We are good. Enough to score a couple of goals against Liverpool, BUT the volume of goals we are conceding, is FAR too many, areola made some great stops, the Liverpool second was a fluke, but our team needs a lot of sorting out, it’s got to be the most active window ever coming up, irregardless of who’s in charge
24 Apr 2024 14:16:26
Moyes has NO friends, a fact he’s spoken of many times, Media only reporting the obvious He’s leaving in June lazy lazy reporting, on their part, Daisy, WH, being used for leverage at present, WH need to keep quiet, go about their business, Steidten was super confident on Amorim, and he’s come unstuck, , not a fact he will like very much
21 Apr 2024 15:44:33
Moyes should resign tonight, No question Palace massive improvement under new manager, so will we, once he’s gone, players are dead on their feet, from Thursday, this is Moyes small squad biting us in the a.se
