Apparently talks got underway yesterday to buy the stadium ?
1.) 11 Nov 2026 09:55:51
Needs to be a very good deal, as it's costing peanuts at the moment so what's the point ?
09 Nov 2026 17:41:22
The keeper situation is a real problem, Hermansen is not good enough and Areola is not getting picked for some reason, there’s two experienced keepers that we could realistically get, Pope and Ramsdale, either would be an upgrade on Hermansen ?
07 Nov 2026 20:03:21
Hermansen didn’t even dive for their second goal he just dropped to his knees, if they’re not going to put Areola back in goal then I would say try and get Pope in January
1.) 08 Nov 2026 06:05:51
He didn't do much better with the first he just did some sort of weird star jump.
2.) 08 Nov 2026 07:20:30
Maybe he was still warming up?
05 Nov 2026 11:04:00
I would be inclined to play Ajala a bit more as Taty doesn’t look interested, and maybe start Piroe to give him more minutes and get him up go speed as he has been a top striker in this division when he was at Leeds, and January can’t come quick enough to sort this defence out, and also get a new keeper but play Areola in the meantime.
27 Oct 2026 13:41:14
Apparently West Ham have sounded out Rob Edwards to maybe take over from Nuno ?.
1.) 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.
2.) 27 Oct 2026 15:49:01
Joyfull, could we not see what happens with Carrick at Utd to see if he becomes available ?.
3.) 27 Oct 2026 17:04:24
Very unlikely, it's football anything can happen, but very unlikely.
4.) 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.
5.) 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.
6.) 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.
7.) 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.
8.) 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.
9.) 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! ⚒⚒⚒.
10.) 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.
11.) 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.
12.) 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.
13.) 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.

Done the stadium tour today with Julian Dicks, very good, he’s got some good stories.
1.) 11 Nov 2026 21:30:52
Fantastic hard nut & player to have in your team in his day, see him so many times at Upton Park, you wouldn't want to Be a winger in the day he was marking you??What a penalty taker as well, no soft placing in the corner, like a Cannon being shot, oh Dicksie how I wish we still had you! ⚒⚒⚒.
07 Nov 2026 20:22:35
At some point of this season we were top of the league, we are now 9th, not even in the playoffs, granted there’s not a lot in it but it shows how much we have fallen away.
07 Nov 2026 09:37:25
For today’s game I wouldn’t mind seeing,
Areola
Veltman
Mavropanos
Kilman
Mayers
Bowen
Engles
Kante
Austbo
Piroe
1.) 07 Nov 2026 11:03:04
Can't argue with any of those choices Stevie. I think the Kante position is one that can also be played by others. I am a big fan of Kante but do feel others like Alvarez Orford or Magassa can play that position as long as Kante plays some part be it as a starter or a sub.
2.) 07 Nov 2026 11:06:19
Not a bad team Stevie. I'd like to see Alvarez in the matchday squad.
3.) 07 Nov 2026 09:46:24
Id rather play with 11 players Stevie, I admire your confidence though!
4.) 07 Nov 2026 12:48:48
Redrobbo2 ?, I forgot Mukasa.
5.) 07 Nov 2026 13:05:29
??????.
6.) 07 Nov 2026 13:50:20
Sharp eyes Robbo. I'm glad you're paying attention ?.
7.) 07 Nov 2026 14:30:20
Apart from the keeper I got it spot on ??.
01 Nov 2026 20:14:00
I just want one word answers guys, do we stick or twist with Nuno?
1.) 01 Nov 2026 20:31:15
Twist.
2.) 01 Nov 2026 20:32:57
He should have gone last season and we may have still been in prem,then in summer, board bottled it, he's a charlatan. I'm totally sick of these anti football managers at least supporters are waking up and seeing what a clown he is now bin him and try hardest to get McKenna in for me.
3.) 01 Nov 2026 21:10:35
"I just want one word answers guys, do we stick or twist with Nuno?”
Do you really need to ask that question Stevie?
4.) 02 Nov 2026 18:17:12
I thought McKenna left Ipswich due to family illness?
5.) 02 Nov 2026 19:40:22
He left Ipswich to spend more time with his family and to take a break from football. No mention of illness. Maybe he had frostbite from shelf filling in Iceland? ?.
6.) 02 Nov 2026 21:26:49
McKenna would be my #1 choice. The reason he gave for walking away was slightly vague. It was something like family reasons. But I imagine he looked at the situation and by walking away with Ipswich on a high, he retains his credibility.
But probably thought to himself Ipswich are going to struggle in the premier league again, and that could make him look like a poor manager and do more harm than good.
But if a decent size club like West Ham were to make him an offer he may have a decent project to work on. With a good fan base, youth team and a half decent squad and hopefully some resources. That's my take on it but that could be completely wrong.
31 Oct 2026 22:59:59
Was at the game, spent more time at the bar than watching game as it was so s***, Nuno has to go, six goals conceded at home in the last two games, absolutely diabolical, pathetic performance
1.) 01 Nov 2026 04:48:22
I don't see how he continues. Totally uninspiring as he was last year.
It's our lack of ownership at the moment which is keeping him employed. Any other club with INTENT would have axed him in the summer and got a new guy in that inspires.
I'd personally love someone like Craig Bellamy but I fear he'd be like Bilic. Great for a while but then sags in a heap.
11 Nov 2026 09:43:21
Is he any good, not sure about a keeper coming in that hasn't played in the English leagues, he could hit the ground running but if it takes time for him to adapt then it could be too late.
27 Oct 2026 15:49:01
Joyfull, could we not see what happens with Carrick at Utd to see if he becomes available ?.
01 Sep 2026 14:55:06
Athletic Bilbao left back Adama Boiro has been mentioned. ?
27 Aug 2026 18:26:11
Should've said Reiss. ?
27 Aug 2026 17:12:08
Everton defender Michael Keane is also under consideration.
07 Nov 2026 14:30:20
Apart from the keeper I got it spot on ??.
07 Nov 2026 12:48:48
Redrobbo2 ?, I forgot Mukasa.
14 Oct 2026 21:00:07
It's a great chance to boost our goal difference, Taty, Mukasa, Austbo, for Pablo, Engles and Soloman.
15 Sep 2026 21:44:37
Poor defending by Kante for their 3rd goal, should've just got rid of it, oh well onto Saturday.
25 Aug 2026 21:44:36
That's more like it. ⚒️ ⚒️
