West Ham Rumours Mobile

01 Nov 2026 17:06:43
Nuno has had 13 months. Potter and LOP had alot less

If we were in premier league he'd be toast.

His only saving grace is with this squad there are more winnable games which paper over the cracks.

I wonder if Bellamy got the nod, who would be his backroom team? Most certainly James Collins.

01 Nov 2026 17:47:54
Got to be honest Mac I'm going off the idea of Bellamy but he would still be a major upgrade on nuno.

01 Nov 2026 18:28:31
For me id like thomas frank especially after what he did with Brentford and then in the Premier league.

He likes attacking footie and sets his teams up well.

01 Nov 2026 20:40:32
I wouldn't mind Frank but one word of caution is I've got a few mates who are spurs fans and they all said he was too pragmatic and dull. It was a case of don't lose rather than go out and win.

I think we've got to such a state that virtually anyone would be better than this. More results like yesterday and Steve cooper and Sean Dyche might seem palatable. Let's hope it doesn't get that bad.

02 Nov 2026 06:35:10
I would go nowhere near Frank he's as boring as nuno, moyes, Loppy

Phill your point about us being prem and he'd be gone. we were in prem last year and they kept him, his negative tactics cost us a place in the prem ( not on its own but were a big contributing factor tor) if they had the backbone and got rud like spurs did who knows we could still be there? Certainly wouldn't be any worse off.

01 Nov 2026 09:41:16
Total silence the day after a disaster at home, but are we surprised

If, and when anything gets done, which I doubt will be before new year at the earliest, id like to see us go for Thomas Frank, Kieran McKenna or Craig Bailey

Forget Eddie howe or Parker

Get new manager and hand him. the reigns of the club like Arteta, Emery etc.

01 Nov 2026 11:16:33
What's coming could be the most significant decision, in the last dozen years, to stay in this division is economic disaster for WH

As a club WH are not economically designed for championship football, the whole set up is premier league, it's pointless at this stage going through all the figures, as to where we would be staying in the championship, it makes unpleasant reading

Double edged sword here if we get too far behind the leaders we won't make it up, on the other hand, Nuno will be given these two away games Wednesday and Saturday to sort it out, lose these and he will be gone without an instant replacement

Could WH then make up the gap of course in theory yes with volume of games, but then it's relying on others to fail, they will not win every game, but it's not a good policy to follow

Whomever comes in will have to hit the ground running, and keep winning, very difficult but at the top there's no room for excuses so the managerial decision is a very serious choice.

01 Nov 2026 11:51:16
It's like ‘the blind leading the blind' this rubbish about 2 more games to get it right sums up Nuno's tenure. The board don't Look at it in the round. We go on a decent run then we have 2 London Derby's that if we win will be a major statement, but we capitulate and play terrible and get away with 2 draws. We then get the warning if he loses the next 2 he will be in trouble, low and behold we win the next 2 then we need to kick on by playing 2 of the better sides but at home and sure as eggs are eggs we lose both insipidly now we get another 2 game warning, it's ridiculous in this decision we should be winning 80% of our games and not really losing hardly any.

But what hope have we got with these fools in charge of hiring another boring loser like the last 3 or 4 managers.

01 Nov 2026 12:55:36
Same old story as expected "two more games". Dont get me wrong, I like Nuno, but It doesn't seem to me that he is learning by his mistakes and neither are the board.

01 Nov 2026 12:58:32
I see the frustration., but there are 33 games to play WH Must get this right, to stay in this division Next season, Would be a financial nightmare, and an unrecognisable squad

Let's see how this week pans out first.

01 Nov 2026 16:56:26
I want to see us get a manager that aggressively presses teams. Howe did it at Newcastle, but i doubt he would come.

Usually all the best teams press high, and smother teams. Thats how we need to play off the ball if we want to win the league, Nuno is the opposite.

Anytime we have put a half decent press on a team in the championship they panic and give it away.

I watched yesterday, there was a moment where we were quite high they had one player free in the middle he was the only option for them to play out or go long, instead of Mukasa cutting the pass off he jogged back into his shape. They play it easily into the midfield and 3 of our attackers taken out of the game. Now for me thats nunos tactics, boring mid block.

Long way to go but the signs have been there we scraped some results people were saying its good playing badly and still winning but really i think lot of the games we were lucky and the opposition didnt have the quality to take advantage.

Nuno playing like we are in a relegation battle cant draw our way to winning the league unfortuantely now those performances that scraped us draws are turning into losses.

02 Nov 2026 12:54:20
It's looking more like the asset stripping suggestion is bang on. The board want to sell off our expensive assets and to do that, they need a compliant manager like Nuno.

31 Oct 2026 22:39:19
Personally, I feel Nuno's time is up. We have the biggest wage bill and the best attacking players, but this manager does not use the team to its capabilities. Who we get next is anyone's guess. We are now too small for Eddie Howe, Carrick is unavailable and probably not good enough. The obvious choice is Parker; he's got Burnley, Bournemouth and Fulham promoted.

01 Nov 2026 05:32:20
Why are you continually following the same mistake as our useless board are. If we run like a proper football club, they would have someone lined up. Someone maybe that most of us had never heard of. Like they do at Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth. Or even someone who is currently employed elsewhere. Parker may have got other teams promoted but is a dreadful manager.
We want someone who plays good football, and before anyone says it's not important how we play I would argue our last 4 managers including Moyes have all been cut from the same boring cloth.

I would like to see Mckena given a chance. Someone who looks like he has a plan. Bellamy might be okay but as someone else said may end up like Bilic, great for one year then poor thereafter, and I didn't realise he has never managered at club level. Let's face it Wales are a pretty poor excuse for a football team.

01 Nov 2026 07:05:41
Brooking: "Personally, I feel Nuno's time is up.”
Really? 🙄 What happened to your prediction of "easily winning” the Championship?

A sensible post, Hammer-D. I'm not convinced Bellamy would be any good. Maybe now is the time for one of the young up-and-coming German managers? I very much doubt our board have the bottle, but something has to be done.

01 Nov 2026 09:23:00
Yep I would like to see that tin. It's got to be worth a try, It can't be worse than the rinse repeat cycle we have been in for about the last 10 years.

01 Nov 2026 08:38:04
Best attacking players, ! Brooking where are you watching from ?pablo is beyond useless, Taty has declined appallingly, piroe never was,, this is the WH you said would make the championship a procession,!

Teams like Boro and saints were ready a month before kick off, there was always going to be huge competition to get in the premier league, your reading the wrong room mate

Teams like wba and Swansea are a suprise, but the above two are not, never where, this is a tough league, where the stats are correct, 2 points a game needed for promotion,

Best squad in the league,on paper maybe, but what does that mean ? It means they are not being managed properly.

Unlike many I have not been a Nuno critic, for me I like to see how things play out, but it's clear to see now, it's time to say goodbye.

01 Nov 2026 10:06:49
Ive still got no Doubt. this is by far the best squad in the Division. But there's something clearly amiss when you see areola Alvarez and magassa can't get on the pitch. Even Josh ajalas reward after scoring twice against Southampton in the carabao cup is to be immediately dropped.

and surprise surprise JWP is doing well at Southampton after being frozen out. He's got no idea on how to use Bowen either. Keep Nuno and we won't make even the playoffs. it reminds me of macari era good squad. but the players don't enjoy playing for the manager.

01 Nov 2026 10:16:47
When we got a lot of players in, within a short time pre season, it looked good but that's it, it looked good we do have a good squad on paper BUT our forwards are shocking, defence play like they have just met, so ask yourself is it really that good a squad ?

I'm convinced that a lot more could be gained from this squad, but it's unlikely with Nuno, we have too many niot getting a game, why ? Why is Hermansen still in goal ? Why can't Magassa and Alvarez come on even as subs, there's something wrong.

01 Nov 2026 12:30:22
Taty should be performing a lot better. Bowen is keeping us in the games. Solomon Austbo are expensive players, Engels another expensive player, Magassa flatters as does Kante. Both should be performing better.
I still think we will win the league.


I'd have Parker, he's got 3 teams up in year 1, and that's what we need.
Many of here wanted the young Icelandic lad in the team, it's lucky you are not managing the side! You mention German managers, but no names?

01 Nov 2026 12:56:55
Thomas Frank for me because if and when we go up we need a manager who knows the Premier league.

01 Nov 2026 19:19:42
Frank would be a good shout.

01 Nov 2026 19:21:32
So what did the Icelandic youngster do wrong, Brooking?. You say he was at fault for the second. I didn't actually see the game but heard numerous reports most of which said Ausbo was the only player to come out of the game with any credibility. So not sure what your comment is about. I think the German manager comment is just a generic comment meaning that if our club was run professionally there would be names brought up that probably not many of us will have heard of.

Many have been German or Spanish think when Eddie Howe and Thomas Frank left their positions at Bournemouth and Brentford many said those clubs would go into decline but both were replaced by unknowns who have done a better job than the originals. The same with their players.

I don't like to dig people out or ridicule their comments as it is an opinions forum but your comments are in a world of their own you are so out of touch.

01 Nov 2026 20:53:47
Well said Hammer-D.

Brooking: " You mention German managers, but no names?”

Nonsense as usual. You have a short memory. In May I suggested several names to replace Nuno. At that time, these might have been s reasonable shout (my post then):
"Maybe Ole Werner, manager in Leipzig or Merlin Polzin, manager in Hamburg or Sebastian Hoeness from VFB Stuttgart or the Freiburg manager, Julian Schuster.”
Obviously, time has moved on, but the German league is an ideal source for young up-and-coming managers.

30 Oct 2026 09:24:41
Mini clear out coming, as you are aware, Taty boiro Alvarez Magassa plus cornet pay off

One or two other less than's also going to exit, ok but who's coming in ?

Up front WH have to decide, speed or static striker youth or experience

But it's clear the thinking, is reinforcing is needed for the second part of the season, and they are right !

30 Oct 2026 11:29:38
Wow thats good news to see players not required, not interested or not performing yo be given the boot

Frees up places and salary

But as you say, who will we bring in? Cb and striker and maybe keeper have to be prioritised.

30 Oct 2026 14:44:17
Talks now going on what type of striker very important, static type or all rounder, Cb as well ball player or static defender, doesn't sound important, but it is, like Kilman more static, mavro movement, when the type been agreed then look at targets

Might be one or two suprises coming up.

30 Oct 2026 17:39:48
Striker and wingers with pace will stand us in good stead if we get promoted

I'd really like to see us invest in a declan rice esq midfielder. Sydie Peck is decent.

31 Oct 2026 10:36:09
Let's get promoted first! Maybe a manager who knows what he's doing might help?

28 Oct 2026 15:04:42
Forget Rob Edwards. Get somebody who knows the club and the fans so with that in mind Bellamy.

28 Oct 2026 16:15:59
Tend to agree mate, he could be the difference.

28 Oct 2026 18:25:10
By all accounts, WHU are not the only club interested in Edwards. There are several clubs, including Palace.

29 Oct 2026 05:44:19
Does anyone believe the Rob Edwards link. I don't especially as it's being pushed by the god awful football insider site. Who never get anything Right.

29 Oct 2026 07:33:32
Agreed, but it's come from several sources.

29 Oct 2026 09:26:06
Hammaer7580, I do actually believe the rumour but I think it is a bit of a sideshow. I reckon it is the board doing it but have no real intention to replace him at the moment. I think it is their way of getting the message to Nuno you better buck your ideas up.

And if we do go on a bad run of results then they may actually trigger. But that pleases hardly anyone. They may think it will get the fans on board but I doubt it, as most have said he may be better but if promoted I can't see him cutting it.
Well, that's my theory anyway.

27 Oct 2026 13:41:14
Apparently West Ham have sounded out Rob Edwards to maybe take over from Nuno 🤷.

27 Oct 2026 15:39:07
Last weeks result has shaken things up no question, I think a lot of things hinge on next Saturday result, win ok if not Then getting near goodbye

Nuno should be getting more out of this squad 28 shots, I think it was more than that, just 2 goals madness Just not good enough. Don't care who they had in goal

Hermansen was awful. Team needs a proper sort out, injury to Mavrapanos will hurt, but injuries and suspensions are part of the game.

27 Oct 2026 15:49:01
Joyfull, could we not see what happens with Carrick at Utd to see if he becomes available 🤷.

27 Oct 2026 17:04:24
Very unlikely, it's football anything can happen, but very unlikely.

27 Oct 2026 19:29:08
I think we need to have someone with longevity in mind. Obviously Kretinsky thought it was a masterstroke to keep Nuno. If he couldn't see he should have been the first person out of the club before the new season then I fear his judgement is wanting, as to what we need.
It won't happen anyway. Maybe when the damage is already done will it happen.

27 Oct 2026 23:39:27
Rob Edwards is just the type of manager WHU need. Whether he'd be any good in the Prem is questionable, but compared to Nuno he's Zinedine Zidane.

28 Oct 2026 05:45:43
He might be better but he isn't an exciting manager, his Charlton side are pretty when they played us.

28 Oct 2026 07:59:13
Hammer-D, have you got the right bloke? I don't think he's ever managed Charlton! He is an attack minded coach, but he has a flexible approach. Agreed, he wouldn't be my first choice, but he could be a breath of fresh air with this current group of players.

28 Oct 2026 08:27:21
Apologies Tin and Stevie I thought Rob Edwards was Charlton manager but it's Nathan Jones easy mistake to make 😂 doh ! I wondered why Charlton were playing quite defensive as I thought he was okay at Luton.

28 Oct 2026 08:50:39
Stevie, re Carrick at WH, a big no no from me, he's as boring as he looks, never rated him as a player with us, but was I missing something!
Doesn't like to smile much, so personality zero, not the way to judge a Manager, but if your club is doing well it doesn't matter! ⚒⚒⚒.

28 Oct 2026 09:57:54
Rob Edward's would be a decent manager to have while we remain in the Championship. but he is not a long term option. Yeah ok, his teams do play attacking football, and he took Luton to the premier league, but he jumped ship when at Middlesbrough despite doing well, then failed miserably at Wolves, who are doing better without him.

If we let go of Nuno, I would go all out for Craig Bellamy. He would inspire the team, get fight back in to some of those players that lack it, play decent football and whilst still the Wales manager, he came close to joining Burnley in the summer. We are a much more attractive proposition than Burnley.

28 Oct 2026 10:34:34
I think you're missing the point; it is Rob Edwards that the club are sounding out. If the rumour is to be believed, and if he's up for it, the decision on who the replacement will be has already been made.

28 Oct 2026 22:21:04
If that is the case then it is worrying. It's about as bold as Gary Oneail. Edwards may be okay, but that's as good as it gets and not a real statement. As others have said Bellamy would be better my personal favourite would be keiron McKenna, he's not perfect, but I don't think anyone is but likes to play the right way but more importantly will utilise our decent youth team set up.

30 Oct 2026 06:48:32
I think we have to remember that WHU is not a Premiership club. We are a Championship side, with all that brings.

27 Oct 2026 13:21:49
See Jadon Sancho smothering the news, firstly he's not kicked a ball for 4 months plus, far from fit, ok at his age he needs 4 more likely 6 weeks to get back to top shape

This player in form would rip it up at our level, wages at decent level no problem, he's a mile in front of Soloman and Austbo

However attitudes count for a lot There's the rub, under the right manager, he's a difference maker would he come to WH why not

Some kind of deal could be made, without long contract, he wound be firing by December time, he would get more goals than our 3 strikers put together and create chances galore, he's at Bowen level, premier player

It just depends how WH see it ?

27 Oct 2026 21:09:00
There must be major issues going on behind the scenes. Chelsea even paid ManU 5M not to take him back.and he's only been offered 10K a week by Getafe et al. No one wants him.
This is another Todibo potentially so just AVOID.

28 Oct 2026 08:33:37
No it's all known, for me let him train, take it from there, no good ok goodbye, he's a free agent there's no contract here, can't see what difference it makes ?

28 Oct 2026 09:59:02
100% take him until seasons end, with option to extend.

27 Oct 2026 10:58:39
The Areola conundrum, as you are aware contract runs out end of season there is one year option

His reduced wage is 60 k @ week, he hasn't played for some time but now back to level

WH for them pointless to let him leave on a free and then spend decent money for new gk

Problem here is he must play, and soon otherwise he will push to be gone in June

Going on what I saw last Saturday, I would play him this Saturday coming, don't know what others think k ?

27 Oct 2026 11:08:32
Totally agree he has to play.
I've never rated Hermadson I've called him too short before but had a good view of him playing Saturday and he actually isn't short, but his arms must be.


Everyone says we are better because he is great with his feet. I just see him playing tippy tappy football with Mavro and Killman when we get a goal kick and it makes for painful watching.

27 Oct 2026 12:06:07
After having watched him many times, Hermansen seems to have a fixed habit of pushing punching the ball straight out of without the second thought that it's evens who the ball goes too

Wheras Areola tries to push the ball out on an angle, giving a lot less chance of an easy chance at goal Should the ball fall to an opposing forward

Areola is the bigger keeper with a longer reach, for me it's time to give him a chance.

26 Oct 2026 12:59:51
Confirmed to me last week WH scout at Bournemouth watching Loftus cheek, Tomori, one other Milan player?
There where four premier scouts there so chances not great.

25 Oct 2026 08:28:48
During the last window, there was much talk but no actual bid for mohammed Zoma winger Nuremburg

The German club have now approached WH and are willing to talk at 25 m euro, bit rich price wise.

25 Oct 2026 08:52:19
But where's the money coming from?

25 Oct 2026 09:31:52
If they want promotion, they will have to find the funds, because it's clear to see there's massive competition. The clue is to buy or loan with option players that can make the jump up,to the premier

No tatys piroe pablos etc,piroe will be a problem as there is an agreement to purchase if we make promotion Still that's another story

WH will need to steer away from what looks easy, because this side even if they make it up, will be straight down again.

26 Oct 2026 13:01:10
I think we have more pressing issues than another winger in all honesty. 25m euros could go a long way towards another cb or keeper or striker who can actually score from 5 yards.

26 Oct 2026 17:07:14
Striker cbs priority. A couple or more will be leaving, so we shall see.

25 Oct 2026 08:23:46
Jorthy Mario Ajax Cb dfm WH trying to secure his services talented player 18, there could be some ground in Alvarez to Ajax And jorthy to WH

Dario essugo cm Chelsea WH trying to get his services for January, another at Strasbourg, again a possibility

There is no question that couple of players must be brought in come January , we have a good squad ON PAPER but somehow we just cannot get it right

For me yesterday showed that.

25 Oct 2026 08:53:44
We're crying out to change our manager before the next transfer window, but that's not gonna happen.

25 Oct 2026 09:04:33
You never know, couple more games like yesterday, could change the narrative.

25 Oct 2026 09:24:08
Sorry to say but over half of our goals conceded this season have come in the first half hour? When we are 3-1 down at home chasing a game we change left backs?

He starts Taty up front who cant hit a barn door at 3 feet?

But the biggest problem is that we aren't motivated to get at it from the first whistle and that is manager 🤔 nuno can thank his lucky stars we are in this league because if we were in premier league Im not sure we would have won a game yet.

Something has to be done because our slow starts could well be very costly come seasons end.

25 Oct 2026 09:44:40
Your right Mac, it won't or can't continue, Kretinsky doesn't strike anybody as one who messes about, I'm sure that if this trend continues the result will be change

At the cost of repealing myself, we have a good squad, it's just not performing on a regular basis.

26 Oct 2026 05:40:55
I can't see that Joyful, Kretinsky made Nuno his statement signing. And I fear we are stuck with him. People will argue what are we moaning about as we are un the top 3 scored lots of goals best goal difference. But for me it is the lack of consistency and has been said the way we start matches.

Old dogs and new tricks. We never seem to go on a run. This ain't the premier league as Mac said I'm not sure we would have won a game. By and large the teams we are playing are of a very low quality and should be beating most easily,

26 Oct 2026 06:59:53
Nothing to disagree with their mate, but it's all in the mind of the boss which will be Kretinsky no question, it will be how he sees it WH are not set up for this division on a permanent basis that's fact

Maybe a hard lesson will have been learnt from Saturday, if not then the problems will start to flourish, Nuno has made some poor choices, he has the chance to put it right, we have to wait and see

We have played enough games now to see the pluses and minuses they are all obvious to us, are the clear to Nuno ?

24 Oct 2026 17:02:10
Dozens of shots note again NO FORWARD scores Taty come January I'd let him go, piroe just doesn't fire Pablo nothing more to say, said it a dozen times

Must get in clinical forward full stop

However if we are going to defend like that, doesn't matter who's up front

Caught cold twice never recovered, yes their gk made fantastic saves

Just cannot concede two goals in no time to anybody and expect to get back.

24 Oct 2026 17:19:54
Slow start still asleep cost us. First half we simply weren't ready until they scored

Wasted opportunity. What value a free Vardy now. I know I go on about him and personally dont like him but he scores goals and in this team he would easily bag 30 goals

Not convinced with Solomon. And yes the saints goalie kept them in ot so why can't Hermandsen. Maybe I'm being harsh but this defence needs a solid reliable keeper.

25 Oct 2026 06:10:09
Spot on regarding the keeper did a few good save but instead of pushing the ball away he tends to parry it back to their forwards, Areola should be a shoe in.

24 Oct 2026 08:56:00
Ismael duokoure Cb Strasbourg Whilst WH have made enquiry for the player, it can never be straightforward with the French club.

Chelsea are in the driver's seat here, and they will always have first call or any options, as this is sister club.

It does not mean WH have no chance, Chelsea may decide to let him go full stop, or maybe loan him to WH as they are in the championship.

Or may see him as future player and say no sorry.

We shall see.

23 Oct 2026 11:44:20
Irrespective of the views of those of who can't see what Nuno sees about Pablo, he will continue to play him as long as he keeps seeing whatever it is in training.

Another thought, though. With neither Taty, nor Piroe pulling up trees, if we are still solidly top two for the Jan window, decent, ambitious forwards elsewhere might see a quick route to the Premiership if they come to us then.

23 Oct 2026 16:48:23
Good shout and a prolific scorer is something we must look at.

23 Oct 2026 19:17:52
I'd like to see us go for Disasi. We have goals coming from all over the place.

21 Oct 2026 19:29:32
Disasi has asked palace to return him to Chelsea, doesn't want to play there, he made a bad choice in the summer, but could still return to WH Chelsea will take him back, if a concrete proposal comes from WH


WH have recieved official request from Lens guess who they want to send back ? WH say no contract is to end of June next year

Looks like Fulkrug will resolve itself, player wants nothing from WH, small fee Oming from the Germans yes, might even happen in January.

22 Oct 2026 16:55:41
Shame because Tobido could've done well for us in championship.

22 Oct 2026 22:57:28
Fulkrug has scored 6 in 6 for Breman, shame he couldn't do it for us.

23 Oct 2026 09:25:52
The fact that Todibo got his sincere wish to get back to France, and still didn't perform well, tells you volumes about the player, not WH

Anyway looks like he's stuck at lens for now ?

Fulkrug is a mystery to himself, don't believe it's anything to do with WH, he shouldn't have come in the first place to uk, he wants to stay and play in Germany fair enough, fancy this may be sorted out come January, no point waiting till next June.

23 Oct 2026 19:19:29
Another dodgy West Ham deal with that being brokered by Tin Snideon.
