Has anyone heard any rumours regarding the board about to crumble? I watched a video on another site and they were quite guarded about what they were saying. Rightly so as if the info would be false then I imagine the club could take legal action. So I wouldn't expect anyone to put their neck on the line or say anything that could cause this website issues.
But what they would say is that in the next couple of weeks the whole house of cards is going to come tumbling down. I just wondered if others had heard anything similar or if they knew if there was any thrush in these rumours
1.) 26 Feb 2026 12:13:06
It's probably connected to the public release of the club's annual accounts. Allegedly, they are a disaster.
2.) 27 Feb 2026 15:41:43
I thought they were due to be published today, which I've heard are a disaster. But also read that Brady is not leaving, so probably yet more false nonsense generated to get the hopes up.
3.) 27 Feb 2026 17:29:11
She's leaving.
4.) 01 Mar 2026 05:42:13
Why have we got Hermansson in goal? It's clear Areola has upset turkey teeth.
5.) 01 Mar 2026 16:11:37
Ewell56, Yes, why did we have Hermansson in goal? Areola is far superior, imo, despite what other posters think on here! Nuno bloody baffles me. I don't rate him at all, and I'm glad to see the back of him when & if he eventually goes.
Everything crossed for Wednesday. Chance of some point(s) there to catch up on Forest, who are away to City. Hopefully not much for Forest there, so 3 points could see us out of the bottom 3. ? ? ? ? Coyi ⚒ ⚒ ⚒ ⚒
6.) 05 Mar 2026 07:20:30
Hermansen played a blinder last night.
7.) 05 Mar 2026 10:47:03
I think everyone was convinced we were going down a couple of months ago. At least there is some hope now.
8.) 05 Mar 2026 11:26:16
Morning, TL. He played really well, and is certainly a more calming influence on the defence. He was the only one to keep a clean sheet as well.
9.) 05 Mar 2026 14:07:15
Afternoon, Dabber. I am an Areola fan, but I must say that those two saves Hermansen made last night were simply superb. Maybe he just needed confidence? He certainly looked a safe pair of hands. Well played, lad.
10.) 05 Mar 2026 17:12:28
CheezyQuaver, interesting login name. I worked for Smiths Crisps from about 1971 to 1974 as a van salesman, as we were called at Smiths for the launch of Quavers. I am now 81. ?? ⚒⚒⚒⚒

According to C&H Disaster is signing on loan till the end of season! Oh well by all accounts he is dreadful but I suppose we have to hope he turns out to be not so bad. A bit like what happened with Dawson. But somehow I doubt that.
1.) 29 Jan 2026 21:13:28
He was a shoe in, first WH where the only club, to pay his wages in full (78k a week ) , and second it’s the other side of London
Danger here is if he plays well? and we stay up, WH might be tempted to buy him, hhmmmm, we shall see how this develops, we, must not make pre judgement's
2.) 29 Jan 2026 21:38:03
I recall him being quite good at Monaco around 2022-23. Stood out in a few of the Euro games I saw. Don't know what's gone wrong at Chavski but I hope he can get back to that Monaco form for us
3.) 30 Jan 2026 08:54:15
Not enough game time kills, footballers full stop
25 Jan 2026 08:28:49
I know this topic has been mentioned before and nothing will change before the end of the season. But looking beyond this season, we have talked about our skipper issue and the general consensus is Bowen is no skipper and of all the names mentioned Souchek seems the most obvious but is not a certainty to start each match. With the last two performances and especially the first halves and the absence of Paqueta I would argue Fernandez has emerged as an excellent choice.
I know he is only young, but feel he has maturity beyond his years and if we miraculously avoid relegation and we stay up I would argue it would be a potential carrot to get him to stay at the club and build the team around him. Because the big clubs will be coming in for him at season's end.

2.) 25 Jan 2026 18:05:08
Mac I thought you didn’t like Todibo
3.) 26 Jan 2026 06:02:44
I don't but he would make a good captain
29 Dec 2025 16:50:07
Just seen on C&H West Ham in talks with Nathan Ake probably better than what we currently have but as usual he is oldish his best days are past him and the wages he would want would be extortionate. I can see another 5 year contract on high wages coming
1.) 29 Dec 2025 20:04:37
I’d take him in a heart beat HD, solid leader and can play CB, LB and Midfield, imo he is exactly the signing we need
2.) 29 Dec 2025 21:15:46
Couldn’t agree more Dabber.
3.) 30 Dec 2025 09:10:54
I’ve also seen Fulham, Palace and Bournemouth are interested, so unless West Ham throw a load of money at him I’m not sure he’ll pick us, hope I’m wrong as him and Cresswell could be just what we need.
4.) 31 Dec 2025 05:45:25
Apparently, Ake has said ‘no’ to us.
23 Sep 2025 17:49:23
I'm reading on some sites that we seem to be approaching managers that are already at other teams, like Parker and Marko Silva. Apparently Kretinski's idea. I find this hard to believe and could be more fake news released to placate the fans but if it is true it would be a step in the right direction.
1.) 23 Sep 2025 19:47:36
Kretinsky is not frightened to pay another club an exit fee for a manager, whilst to Sullivan, paying an exit fee for another manger, is like breaking the holy grail so maybe some persuading has been coming on, we shall see
2.) 23 Sep 2025 20:47:28
Any chance Bellamy?
Definitely a positive option for me.
3.) 24 Sep 2025 07:30:40
If we tie two things together:
1. That David Sullivan really does care about West Ham (supposedly, him and Dave "Longfella" Hunt bonded over a shared love of West Ham, and Ampika has been pretty vociferous in her defence of this via her socials last few days)
2. That Krentinsky is here and influencing the process after two f**k ups by Sullivan in hiring.
Just maybe the 'lady could be for turning'?
4.) 24 Sep 2025 09:36:57
NOT of utmost importance to Kretinsky 1.5% of his total wealth is invested in WH, he has intervened to save his small investment being wiped out, principally by Brady, who’s ideas where influencing Sullivan too much
HE is a million miles more astute than Sullivan, personally I would like to see him take the club over, which he could do easily
IF WH drop clubs value sinks below the radar, presently 8 /5 to be relegated
5.) 24 Sep 2025 12:11:22
Come on lads, we need a CEO and a Director of Football before a permanent appointment of a head coach. Ain’t going to happen though.
6.) 24 Sep 2025 14:42:15
Exactly Tin it ain’t going to happen! So we have to make do with next best and try and get a decent manager which probably ain’t going to happen either!
7.) 24 Sep 2025 18:56:04
We aren't going to get anyone decent let's face it no manager worth his salt will want to work with the squad we have they will just end up leaving with a tarnished reputation, we have missed loads of opportunities to kick on, the board have proven time again how inept they are and they way they treat people is disgusting, welcome to wear ham Mr dyche!
8.) 24 Sep 2025 19:33:10
I can’t disagree with that but much as I would like them to sell up and P.O they are not going to.
I really hope you are not right regarding Dyche. Nuno ain’t a great long term bet but he’s got to be better than that c**t

Macclesfield or Brentford at home good draw ?
1.) 16 Feb 2026 20:11:04
Can go far into this cup. Normally would be happy to but priority has to be staying in the prem?
Knowing our luck we go on to the final, lose and also get relegated on goal difference ?
2.) 16 Feb 2026 21:23:54
It’s looking like Brentford who won’t be easy, but definitely beatable as long as he doesn’t pick the same side as Saturday!
I think Wigan won it the year they dropped
31 Jan 2026 18:09:46
Have to say I think we have been brilliant so far. As much as Pablo may not have the quality of Paqueta he more than makes up for it with his effort. AWB has been brilliant. Let's hope we can hold onto this
1.) 31 Jan 2026 19:47:26
Note to self never post until the game is over
2.) 31 Jan 2026 20:31:52
Hammer-D, don’t reproach yourself, everything you said was right
31 Jan 2026 14:59:59
With Ortega going to Forest and Nuno's obsession about bringing in a new keeper I'm surprised he is not sniffing round Matt Sells the Forest reserve keeper as he played under Nuno at Forest and was really good last season
{Ed001's Note - Sels is first choice mate. He was only out as he got injured and Victor filled in well. But then Victor picked up an injury which ended his season, so Sels is back in.}
1.) 31 Jan 2026 18:02:26
? Cheers ed001 I just assumed ortega would be going there as #1
{Ed001's Note - ah right, yeah he might end up taking the shirt I suppose. I hadn't thought of that.}
19 Jan 2026 12:51:16
Hi all, I have been reading on other sites that we seem to have virtually bought a Venezuelan winger and a French keeper! Obviously someone didn't get the memo that we are in dire need of centre backs
1.) 19 Jan 2026 13:44:26
Can’t get the players they prefer is the answer, trying not to make the mistakes of the past ( I’ll believe it when I see it )
They are trying to offload present problems, like
Fulkrug, Rodriguez etc, and not buy in other potential problems for down the road
If we drop, the economic flexibility, which is not exactly vast, then takes a big hit
So trying to stay up, and if not gain the possibility of a core of players, that can get out of the championship
That’s how it’s looking
2.) 19 Jan 2026 16:43:44
Fulkrug’s goal for Milan was just to spite us, methinks.
16 Jan 2026 07:53:31
Just watched a post on Claret and Booze that suggested if we lose to spurs tomorrow the board will sack Nuno and bring in Harry Rednapp until the end of the season on no wages but a bonus if he keeps us up. I don't want to lose to Tottenham but would really like to see this change. I know it could be a waste of time and you should never go back to a previous manager and to one who has been out the game for so long. But I would relish it as he would at least get the players playing with a smile on their face with the emphasis on forward play and keep the ball away from our defence.
And it could just be the inspiration needed. As there are many things to be critical about regarding Nunos tenure but for me his whole demoralising demeanour is the worst. If we are going down let's see some enthusiasm and entertainment on route. I'm probably in a minority here but hey!
1.) 16 Jan 2026 08:31:34
I think what Nick on C&B was saying is that if we lose against Spurs, Sullivan will agree to putting the Redknapp option to the board for consideration. It’s not a done deal. However, if we lose, it may already be too late and Harry may no longer want the job. The bottom line is that Nuno should have been sacked ages ago.
He’s obviously only interested in lining his own and Mendes’ pockets by turning down players who are not Mendes clients and only bringing in those players that are. Everyone’s using the club as a cash register. We are cattle trucked.
2.) 16 Jan 2026 09:12:19
Hammer D love the optimism you have regarding Rednapp. I personally don't see that working out either mainly for the following reasons- (by working out i mean staying up)
Firstly he has been out of the game far too long, football has moved on a lot since then.
Secondly and more important is that he will still have the same group of players. Unfortunately past recruitment has screwed us massively. I was 1 who thought Moyes time was over when he left but look at the players he signed - soucek, coufal, even JWP.
All professionals who work hard. Yes the talent isn't necessarily there but the character of these players is what you need at a club. We have too many players right now with the wrong character, we lack a proper captain, we have an awful board whos sole purpose of moving stadium was to make money. As Tin legs says we are a cash register for them. Until the board go you can bring in any manager you like but we are doomed. Start putting the championship stadiums into your sat navs ladies and gents!
3.) 16 Jan 2026 09:21:20
No that’s true but it should be an immediate decision even by this board standards. It might be a complete and utter disaster and lose every game but the writing is on the wall already may as well go out with a flourish. Most other names banded about haven’t inspired me at all and whilst this is a total Wilde Card and unpopular with many of our fans.
I just want to see if he could have us play in a more cavalier style. As you say either way we are knackered
4.) 16 Jan 2026 10:35:08
I think also its a short sighted option. We need to plan for next year. We need a young, progressive manager brought in who doesn't have staying up expectations placed on him. We are done and down, don't see a way out so let's build for a promotion push now.
5.) 16 Jan 2026 12:42:13
I can’t disagree with any of your points Chris. But it would simply be until the end of season. But One thing the last 4 managers have apart from playing ultra defensive football is there seems no enthusiasm whatsoever and we need to see some, it’s amazing what a bit of that can do. Obviously I want this board gone asap but there is no likelihood of that happening any time soon.
Someone like McKenna would be my long term choice if Ipswich fail to get promotion. I personally think united are making a mistake with Carrick. Okay he will have better players at united as opposed to borro but I don’t see what is going to all of a sudden turn him into a good manager. So I wouldn’t want him either
15 Mar 2026 06:04:05
Thankfully no need now. When at the game last night, during the "sack the board" singing, a few fellas started singing something else which virtually explained the possible allegations. After you said it was not linked to money, it only left one probable type of rumour, which it was.
My neighbour in the ground put a bit more meat on the bones. All quite grubby! Thanks for the heads up, I suppose it's a case of watch this space.
14 Mar 2026 15:58:27
Cheers Peter, maybe I will have a look on Twitter, but I tend to avoid that pit of vipers.
13 Mar 2026 14:42:05
Hi Peter, do you have any idea what this potential TV program is or was to be called? Obviously, don't say if it could have ramifications.
Still, I am struggling to find out the exact nature of this alleged bombshell. Other sites have touched on it, but are still very cryptic.
I am not spending much time trawling through the net. My guess is it's not financially linked, and maybe another type of scandal? And, apart from money, there are not many other types of scandal.
12 Mar 2026 20:29:42
Thanks, Peter. ?
27 Feb 2026 15:41:43
I thought they were due to be published today, which I've heard are a disaster. But also read that Brady is not leaving, so probably yet more false nonsense generated to get the hopes up.
19 Mar 2026 09:48:50
Can't disagree with that, but I do feel it is a mix of things coming together that will hopefully get us out of the mire and maybe kick on. Getting rid of the board would be a godsend (depending on who buys), but sadly I don't see that yet.
16 Mar 2026 15:28:30
I quite liked Paqueta, and he was probably the most talented player in the squad. I have to say, you are spot on, DH2, and you can see the team spirit now compared to then.
Fulkrug was always a dreadful purchase, but I think he was mates with Steidten, so they probably both did quite well out of that. Maybe Steidten means Silkman in German. ?
15 Mar 2026 15:27:51
Robbo, you could tell from the get-go that he set the team up to simply get the 1 point, with maybe the outside chance of a breakaway goal late in the game.
I like the team spirit now, it's fantastic, but like you, I don't want to watch that each match, as we will only get draws. I would hope we will go back to 4-4-2 next week.
15 Mar 2026 13:27:03
Much as how good a defensive performance it was, I really hope he just earmarked it for that game and maybe the Arsenal game. I personally don't want to see it used in all games, even the next game v Villa. I think we should go back to 4 at the back.
15 Mar 2026 06:51:48
Sorry, meant to say 'I don't think that's the point'.
