West Ham rumours 2

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.}

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!

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! ?

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.}

Claret and Hugh reporting that TS has been banned from Rush Green and the London Stadium dressing room it's all getting a bit handbags ain't it. Luv to see Will Still take over he's just left Rheims

03 May 2024 12:58:50
Some are saying that it's Steidten's own choice to stay away, not that he's been banned. Whatever the truth, it now looks impossible for both Steidten and Moyes to stay at the same club. More evidence that Moyes is on his bike.

02 May 2024 14:13:42
WILL STILL Has left STADT REIMS and a lot believe its because of the impending position at WEST HAM

02 May 2024 16:08:07
Always fancied him as WHU next manager. Just something about him

02 May 2024 17:28:50
Know nothing about Will Still except as posts stated and read on news he’s left Rheims and he fancies managing in England, couple of coincidences there with us! No idea of foreign Managers unless they’ve Managed here, no leagues the same as PL, so we’ll see how good he is if he comes to us and what posters were correct in their hopeful choice over DM??

Morning Chelmsford Hrs actually English by birth (to English parents) although brought up in Belgium he's very young at 31 and a lifelong Hammers supporter He speaks multiple languages and has been known to change language multiple times in team talks. Achieved an incredible 14 win run with Rheims and established them over the last two years

03 May 2024 12:59:38
He'll be going to Sunderland.

01 May 2024 14:24:34
Hi Eds,

Is there any interest from any teams in Kudus this summer, and do you know if he have a release clause of any kind in his contract?

Thanks

{Ed002's Note - Mohammed Kudus (AM) West Ham are not looking to sell - perhaps in the summer of 2025 if a hige offer is made.}

02 May 2024 13:35:12
Surely it all depends if his contract has a release clause? If Kudus is open to a move and a club triggers a release clause, then it's out of West Ham's hands. There is a lot of debate as to whether there is or is not a release clause in his contract, with some sources saying no and one usually reliable source saying yes. Who knows? Personally, I agree with Ed. I think the player is happy to stay for another season, and the club would be crazy to sell him.

03 May 2024 12:02:45
Latest news is that Kudus, Alvarez and Paqueta all want away from West Ham. We know Paqueta has a release clause, so he’s going if it’s triggered. If this rumour of unhappy players is true, then it’s looking more like WHU may be forced into selling Kudus and Alvarez against the wishes of the club. I hope this is not the case.

03 May 2024 12:35:43
If David Ornstein is to be believed and there are release clauses on these players, if they want away, then we are cattle trucked.

30 Apr 2024 21:54:26
We are apparently after O'Hare, the 25 year old Coventry winger. And a 23 year old centre back.

01 May 2024 16:21:36
So are Everton apparently

29 Apr 2024 16:03:44
It seems The West Ham Hierarchy have reservations about flick and fonseca as they have no managerial experience in the Premier league whereas lopetegui has!

29 Apr 2024 17:33:30
Pep, klopp, Mourinho, De Zerbi, Uni Emery, are just a few that didn’t have prem experience, although Lopetegui has he didn’t really do that well, but what do I know ?

29 Apr 2024 19:00:22
Yeah we went through this before when we chased Unai Emry and look how that's turned out. Personally I think it's just another BS Excuse from the board so when we don't get them and moyes stays on, we will all say "never mind, we tried"!

29 Apr 2024 21:49:55
Lopetegui's experience of the prem was a 37% win rate at wolves.

Let's be honest he's probably the cheaper option. That's why Sulli wants him, he's basically the Spanish Moyes with a more exotic sounding name. Sulli probably thinks we are daft enough to fall for it.

What I don't get is he penny pinches and doesn't like buying managers out of their contact, but if you get someone in that can develop youngsters and use the full squad we'd be a lot better off financially.

30 Apr 2024 06:27:27
Sullivan doesn;t work by common sense and what's the best going forward, its what's the best deal he can get. Exactly the same with players. Its not who we want but who he can get the best deal for every time, hence the scatter gun approach during every window

28 Apr 2024 14:57:38
David Moyes maintains his future will not be decided until the summer and said: "I've not had any communication at all. That is because we've already decided amongst ourselves that we would talk at the end of the season"

"There is a lot of speculation around, I understand that. But we need to get things right."

Quizzed on his thoughts on the names linked with replacing him, Moyes said: "I have to be honest, I haven't looked. I'm only getting told by people like you, or maybe people have phoned me up. "

"But I haven't gone out looking. As far as I'm concerned, we had an agreement we would speak at the end of the season."

In a separate interview Moyes said " The most important thing is that things would need to be right between me and the club. And if we get that right then we will see what happens but it will be at the end of the season."

"You can continue to ask me the questions and I'm happy to take them. But it's not as if I've changed track in any way. We've always said it will be made at the end of the season and as far as I'm concerned that will still be the decision."

"That's the way I see it and that's something that me and the board were happy to do (big mistake by the board ie SULLIVAN)

28 Apr 2024 23:31:48
Moyes admitted to being mystified why he had been asked to make the tea at the last board meeting and told to polish David Sullivan’s shoes. He also cannot understand why the manager’s office had been moved to a portacabin in the car park. Still, we all believe that no decisions have been made yet!

29 Apr 2024 12:47:41
What they mean by no decision has been made is .if we can't get anyone else you can stay moyes

29 Apr 2024 13:51:57
And just to back up what REDROBBO has said. Check this latest from CLARET and HUGH "West Ham joint chairman David Sullivan will sit down face to face with manager David Moyes before the end of May. West Ham play their last game of the season against Manchester City on Sunday 19th May so the meeting is scheduled to take place sometime between Monday 20th and Friday 31st May. Crucially club sources insist no manager has been offered the West Ham manager role for next season as the club honouring the existing contract of David Moyes until the end of June.

The board will not make a final decision until David Sullivan and David Moyes sit down face to face in May despite West Ham sporting director Tim Steidten drawing up a contingency list of managerial candidates to sound out managers availability and their desire to take the role if it becomes available.

The end of season review meeting will discuss whether there is appetite from both sides to offer a management contractual extension to the 61-year-old Scotsman.

A decision one way or another is expected to be made before the season ticket deadline on 3rd June.

I just wonder what Season ticket numbers will be like next year if they stick with MOYES, because as it stands its not beyond the realms of possibility and let's face it, this should alreayd have been resolved by now and everyone should know exactly what the future is going to look like

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,

25 Apr 2024 08:46:51
Our director of football is pushing hard for Sullivan to appoint Ruben Amorim or Paulo Fonseca over Lopetegui.

26 Apr 2024 04:49:08
I read that Vincent Kompany had entered the ring.
Sullivan runs the risk of losing Tim Steidten if he ignores the German’s advice. Here we go.

26 Apr 2024 06:43:15
Brenden Rodgers has been mentioned as well
