On Wednesday Xabi Alonzo becomes Chelsea manager.
One of his tasks will be to decide blucos position on Summerville and Bowen, and of course Disasi.
We shall see?

Bowen to Villa by the end of Summer.

Bowen has been offered a new contract. You can't amend the old one; same wage, same conditions, etc., starting July 1st. He has not yet signed. The pressure all round is going to start. Next Monday, back to training for all those not involved in the World Cup.

Well it seems WH have eight chances of promotion this season.
Let’s hope I get this right! First and second automatic promotion as usual. 3 rd and fourth hold still, whilst places 5/6 /7/8 play each other.
The two winners of the games between 5/6 /78 will play the third and fourth, then those two winners will appear at the Wembley playoff final.
Bit complicated but there you are.

Fixtures are out, I hope we're promoted with a few games to go as the end of April doesn't look too clever, away at Wolves then away to Boro, let's hope is all done and dusted by then.

Long, long season, mate. Games every few days, going to be very difficult. Need young, fit people. Small squad useless for 46 games plus.

Anyone know about Mavropanos agreeing new deal at West Ham?

Dortmund are chasing him. Week after next, he and a few others will become clearer. When they return, or not, for training, then talks will take place as to which direction they want to take.
Mavrapanos is on a lower ££40 k wage; that is going to halve on July 1st, to £20 k a week. That won't be enough to keep him at West Ham, so talks required.

I think you will find that Mavro is on 50k per week. But, I agree half that is not enough to keep him. I did hear the DK has offered to the players they want to keep the half wages they lose as a bonus if we go straight back up. Clever thinking, if it is true.

I'd sell him, an average defender who, over the course of his West Ham career, has played well in a handful of games. If we get a decent price, sell.

WHTID Mavro is on 2, , 600, 000 dollars a year, two million six hundred thousand dollars, which equates
to approx £2 m…..40 k a week.
The bonus idea was posted by myself some time ago, it is clever, it won’t suit all, but it may please some, but it further makes it difficult, maybe, for some players to make their mind up.

Fixtures, I wonder if WH will be first up on the opening Friday 14th August, I would t be suprised if we are.

I know and acknowledge that maybe the majority of fans don’t want various stars going to certain clubs, I understand.
But we are in the Championship now, and we have to accept that some players, whoever they are, want to play in the Premiership, Champions League or abroad.
Personally, if they don’t want to stay, get the top price, let them go.
What difference will it make in the future?
None… take the money, get a good team together, get back to the Premiership. Then we can add good players back to the squad.
The ones leaving, they will be forgotten sooner than you think

WH have three friendlies lined up as you all know, but no decision about first week in August as yet. Be interesting as to the level of opposition WH choose?

Alvarez is back next season unless we move him on. He has started really well for Mexico in the WC.
Much of his career has been as a CB. Why have we not considered him there?

22 Jun 2026 19:48:46
Of course it's not forgotten. It all depends on the player. Does he want to return to WH now Potters gone? Does he want to go to Ajax? It's another case of wait and see.

WH have been made favourites to win the Championship. Next season, the odds are short, it’s often said bookmakers don’t make many mistakes. Are they making one here?

It's a good shout, but we have a lot to sort out, and sooner the better.

It seems Paco is not to return if reports are true.
It will be interesting to see how we shape up without him and if he was the main reason for our upturn in form last season.

So Joyful, what is your take on us being linked with Disasi coming back on loan with an agreement to purchase? Do you think it has any legs?
0
21 Jun 2026 12:00:54
Yes, as far as I'm aware, it came from me in the first place. WH can take him on loan, with an option if Chelsea agree. We might have to do a compulsory buy at season's end for a pre-determined figure
This is if there are no Premiership purchasers splashing big money, as Blue Co would prefer to sell, and then we would have to match his wages, 78k a week.
In the Prem no problem; Championship, however, that's big money
But if we can move a couple on for big money, it becomes doable. Having no DoF is a problem, but not insurmountable
Having no DoF is a problem, but not insurmountable
It depends how much time Kretinsky wants to devote to WH, then again his right hand man is very capable.
