Dunno about you lavly people, but am tired of this manager search already. I can bet a lot of money that DAVID SULLIVAN will go for what's the best bargain he can possibly get for his money, not, who's the best manager to take us forward.

If there's one thing that you can always guarantee with our owner is that he'll keep up the club's long-held tradition of consistently making the wrong decisions.


We've long wanted to be considered as part of London's football elite, but let's face it, we are barrow boys compared to the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham.

Ducking and diving through the transfer market for years, it seems that Sullivan is at it again with regards to the club's potential search for a new manager.

David Sullivan isn't sure which manager to hire at West Ham and
When it was reported that Ruben Amorim had flown over from Portugal to discuss taking over from David Moyes, you could imagine we believed that - finally - their beloved club might be going places.

However, that notion was swiftly put to bed, and now, the less illustrious names of Julen Lopetegui and Paulo Fonseca have now entered the picture.

Neither manager are bad choices per se, though they're not in Amorim's league. Essentially, they'd fit right in with the Hammers modus operandi of always accepting second best, excatly what Sullivan is good at!

Daisy, it's how Sullivan works am afraid. Always looking for the bargain and not necessarily the best fit

I am fairly relaxed about it really because let's face it whoever we go for out of the mentioned names it will be an upgrade on Moyes. I thought initially we were dithering again but with the expected manager merry go round at the end of the season it might be wise to hold on a while.

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

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

I've seen that Newcastle are possibly after Maurizio Sarri, this would then obviously free up Eddie Howe, I would rather have Howe than Lopetegui, I know it's all just speculation but feel a few managers could be on the move at the end of the season.

Yes, Steve, I agree.

Reports now suggesting that Antonio will be allowed to leave on a freebie in the summer. I'm not surprised, despite his recent return to form, his record has not been great for some time, especially this season. At 34, we can only think realistically and accept his time at the club is done.
Other sources are also suggesting that it will be Alvarez and not Paqueta who will be the most wanted WHU player in the next window. I think we are in for a rough ride trying to hold onto our best players.

If he's willing to accept a one year extension and his salary isn't crazy, then i really don't understand why we would let him go - As up and down as his form is, he's been a great servant for us and he works hard.

I personally see Kudus being the most in demand player, i just think he's strength, agility and speed is fantastic, it's just so hard to get the ball off of him as he uses players impact/momentum to bounce off of them. I think people could be in for Bowen as well, which i'd really hate to see.

If we're to hold onto our players, TS needs to be sitting them down now, with a plan of action, identify the next manager and explain the project that we're building. A decision must be made with Moyes, i understand that out of respect they're waiting until the end of the season, but it could be at a huge detriment to the club.

I don’t see Kudus contemplating an exit strategy this year. Maybe next year, depending on how next season goes. As for Bowen - didn’t he sign a 7 year deal last year? I should imagine that could only have been after Steidten laid out his plans for the club. Several reports identifying Alvarez as the most sought after WHU player.

West Ham United v Liverpool - A Quick Liverpool Perspective

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 .?

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

Agree1 Disagree0

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

From what I’ve heard if we had got him that would have been ‘ground hog day’! 😅

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.

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………

OK to my personal beef with MSM in particular MOTD first game last night was our early January CK off all they could talk about was the Klop/Salah row and the weird refereeing decision around Areolas collision with the post injury. Not a mention of the two goals and in particular how well Bowen played and his 16 PL goals and 6 Assists.

Sky were just as bad this morning on Sunday Match Day according to them you'd think Liverpool were the only team on the pitch - pathetic both of them

Unfortunately we are not one of the big clubs that they all love and therefore we, like the remainder of the Premier league are just an after thought.

Why is it Liverpool have already nailed down the manager for next season and yet we still ponder, consider, mull etc and are not expected to make a decision until during the summer. Why?

Agree2 Disagree0

28 Apr 2024 17:47:41
Sightly different situation O’Shea. They have a manager who announced his intention to leave months before the end of the season. Yet we have a manager who if he had any sense would have announced his departure at the end of last season. We now have the indignity of a man clinging on with his finger tips and a chairman who can’t face having to pay someone’s contract 2 months early as it may cost him!
Also, let’s face it Liverpool have a bit more pull than we do. Sad but true…….

I am glad we do not have Slot. His managerial trophy run started with the Conference Cup, and then lead him to further glory once money was injected and clubs cherry picked from Ajax. I do not think he will be a success.
As long as a new manager is announced shortly after the season finishes that would be good ownership, not before for us.

Great sensible posts you guys. Fingers crossed in the summer we make the right decisions

Interesting that we are APPARENTLY looking for a new manager however, David moyes has been dropping hints that he will still be in charge next season?

He's going oshee . How many more times do you need telling. No doubt you buy the AMORIM used west ham to try and flush out Liverpool crap as well. Don't be shocked if AMORIM ends up here . The money isn't an issue both for personal terms and how much he'd need to spend . It's an open secret WHUFC are flush with funds . I posted yesterday lopetegui wasn't coming. I know certain people.

Agree2 Disagree0

28 Apr 2024 13:33:06
Personally I'd like Fonseca

28 Apr 2024 15:43:39
But reckon we will end up with warnock

Please not lopetegui he killed spain when he was manager and is very similar to DD.COYI
