Welcome to West Ham United Julen Lopetegui

[Barty]

Champions league here we come ! ?üòâ

[Yorkammer]

The board meeting too appoint Lopetegui must have been held in the O2. It's the only way it could have accommodated the vast numbers who were present. How else could every man and his dog know which board member wanted which manager appointed?

[Grumpster]

"A completely uninspiring appointment by the wannabe russian cսnt against the advice of noble and steitden, which could potentially see them leave as they both feel pointless as anything they ever say is constantly ignored. No point doing anything other than support him, but I'm bloody happy I don't bother going to anything other than away games anymore, as the football is going to be awful unless he's changed his entire approach on his year off."

[oioi]

On a lighter note the journalists must be sharpening their pencils at the thought of needing a rhyming headline for when we lose a few games.

[oioi]

Left Wolves 5 days before the season started. Was sacked by Spain on the eve of the world cup because he agreed to join Real Madrid as soon as the tournament was over. Sounds like a mercenary to me. The last thing we need.

Welcome the WHU Loppy and please teach the team how to defend.

[ludo21]

Probably see En-Nesyri finally rock up. Contract coming to an end so cheap and was under Lop at Sevilla. Apparently Lop likes his wingers and overlapping full backs ... could be worse.

[Boycie]

And he’s out of work for a reason

[oioi]

"Sounds like the new Pellegrini. Expect to see a lot of sideways passing. Will make a change from us watching the other team do a lot of sideways passing. Plus, we're going to need a new Haller! I'm not sure I can watch that."

[Massive Attack]

"Twoleftfeet Only if you're too thick to read and understand the entire article, yes, that's exactly what it said."

[Keep dreaming]

"Oh poor you, you must go through hell now as your Posterboy is history. Take care now, and do anything foolish."

[twoleftfeet]

So according to that article we have a lot of tippy tappy football to look forward to with no end product but hey at least we will have more possession. I can’t wait.

[Leonard Hatred]

You'll be on here wanting him sacked 5 minutes into the first game of next season you miserable fucking vermin cսnt

[Keep dreaming]

"At least we have change in management. Thank God for that. Come on Julien, show us what we deserve. Good luck!"

[nychammer]

Not my first choice Nothing much I can do about it Will get behind him and reserve judgement. Hopefully he and Tim can build something Welcome and good luck !!

[Nutsin]

"Welcome and good luck, if true."

Calm down not a done yet.Levy might hijack the deal now the spurs fans are whinging about the messiah Postecoglou losing 4 games on the bounce.

[Any Old Iron]

"So, we’ve got a new coach. Someone should tell Moyse."

[oioi]

We are Lopetegui's claret and blue army. We'll have work on that one.

[Fauxstralian]

Agree that it seems Amorim just didn’t want to come & presumably thinks he will have bigger fish to fry when he does leave Sporting So be it but getting him to meet Sullivan at his house was a major error. Any normal person meeting a midget in a Russian hat after walking past the statues would obviously run a mile. Have always said we are never getting anywhere til Sullivan goes Once Lopetegui is appointed I will get behind him & wish him well. Hopefully he HAS agreed a pot to spend as he will need it after shifting several players. The wish is that he & Tim are on the same page on style & recruits to fit that & that youngsters will be encouraged & brought on. Good luck Julen (presume his parents couldn’t spell Julian?)

"I don’t know a lot about him to be fair. I know a lot about Moyes and I don’t like it. This is a good analysis video on Lopetegui https://youtu.be/zqoUIPpuaC8?si=HDU0YNl8bcN1Bc2W I’m excited to see what he can offer. From what I can tell , he is professional , has won a trophy on Europe , has tactical ideas, makes lots of substitutions and uses the full depth of a squad, is brilliant defensively, doesn’t employ a low block and a reliance on the counter, allows his front 3 the freedom to switch and move, tends to employ a double pivot but with creative players there and he puts huge focus on building team spirit, collective endeavour and tactics that suit the squad rather than star players. I’m in until proven otherwise. Maybe this will be a good fit. It can’t be worse then where we are can it?"

"Lopetegui wages will apparently exceed anything we’ve ever paid a manager, and wouldn’t sign until he had guaranteed spend on players. He’s very far from a cheap option. Amorim didn’t want to come here, simple as that."
