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.}

We are apparently after O'Hare, the 25 year old Coventry winger. And a 23 year old centre back.

So are Everton apparently

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

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

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
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
24 Apr 2024 18:44:18
If true, Is he really an upgrade on Moyes, 🤷
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,
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
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.
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 .
24 Apr 2024 08:04:43
According to a report from David Sullivan confidants, Spanish coach Julen Lopetegui and Lille manager Paulo Fonseca have agreed deals in principle to become the new West Ham boss (so, if that's the case why are we still looking around at other managers. Why offer them it in the first place if we didn't want them. Its laughable)
A recent report claimed that the Hammers have offered Lopetegui a three-year deal to take over at the London Stadium.
Meanwhile, it has been suggested that 51-year-old Fonseca is firmly on the radar of the West Ham baord as well, and for me, I'd prefer Fonseca
24 Apr 2024 11:52:46
And contrary to that, Fonseca's representatives are also apparently in TALKS with Liverpool!
24 Apr 2024 15:52:39
Hope it's not lopetegui
24 Apr 2024 16:20:48
Apparently there are a few at the club advising Sullivan to be cautious about appointing Lopetegui.
24 Apr 2024 22:23:54
Slot will be next Liverpool manager. So, Fornesca is available should they want him.
25 Apr 2024 07:11:50
Out of the current names being banded about, Fonseca would be my shout aswell Daisy! what's the betting we end up with NEIL WARNOCK or SAM ALLARDYCE
25 Apr 2024 18:25:01
Who are the 'confidants'. Do you know them?
23 Apr 2024 09:27:00
Pedro Sepúlveda claims that talks with West Ham were 'not positive', and that 'something went wrong' to prompt such a swift return to Portugal. Sporting has a huge game against Porto on Sunday, so it was presumably never likely to be more than a flying visit (although the team has been given Tuesday and Wednesday off), but a move to the London Stadium appears far from a foregone conclusion.
"Something went wrong" (has Sulliva written all over it). The plane that took Rúben Amorim to London this afternoon is already returning to Lisbon. The coach who is still negotiating with LFC and met WestHam
Officials for the first time today is back in Lisbon. The meeting was not positive
23 Apr 2024 11:54:05
That bloke has been getting hammered in his comments for talking sh*t over the last few weeks. Said he flew back early but the flight was always scheduled for that departure according to comments.
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
23 Apr 2024 15:37:50
I love how we have an endless list of Candidates apparently and yet, SULLIVAN hasn't made his mind up on MOYES yet LMFAO so why talk to other managers? What an absolute shambles already! Only SULLIVAN
24 Apr 2024 07:01:09
Amorim didn't meet Sullivan. The dwarf was engaged elsewhere. Not even he can be blamed here . If anyone thinks he's the one picking the manager. Think again.
24 Apr 2024 13:34:30
Reports today that Amorin went to sullivans house and Sullivan didn't fancy him 😂 if sullivan is making the decision we are bang in trouble leave it to stiedten and noble
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
24 Apr 2024 15:54:21
Yeah Hammer7580, it seems Sullivan did wine and dine Amorim lol
