If David Moyes leaves West Ham who would you want to replace him?

[Barty]

Thomas Tuchel might be availeble soon and I rate him even though it hasnt been rosey with Bayern... Over to you

[onsideman]

Nagel 10:05 Sun May 5 He's been sacked for poor results from every single club he's managed. No cherry picking needed. I don't think wanting to poach a winner should be too big an ask

[nychammer]

Will Still has left Reims..... ......for Sunderland welcome Lopategui!

[Alfs]

Most bookies have suspended betting of next manager. You can still get 3/1 on with Sky if you want to print some money.

[Fauxstralian]

Benfica beaten tonight so Sporting Lisbon are Portuguese champions Ruben Amorim COME ON DOWN

[RM10]

A complete new defence.

[Any Old Iron]

"Of course Moyes should have gone by now, most reasonibly intelligent fans would no that. But whoever replaces him has a massive job in front of them. The team needs at least 6 new quality signings this summer. The trouble it’s going to cost fortune and we’re not going to get everything we need. Moyes will be leaving us in a very poor shape and next season will be tough."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Of course Moyes will now leave when his contract runs out in June. But if they appoint Lopetegui, don’t bet against the Ginger Nut returning for a 3rd stint at Xmas! I get the problem with David Moyes. We all do. It’s turgid and the wheels have completely fallen off. Today was another unmitigated disaster. But Lopetegui? We can do a LOT better than the Spanish Steve McClaren. He’d be sacked within two years. I’d lay a bet on it now."

[Sir Alf]

"Whoever is appointed has a tough job but the bigger issue here is that Sullivan should not be involved other than listening to the recommendations of the football people he employs. You woukd think the bloke tasked with identifying and securing transfer targets would be the person making the call on a new coach? Steidten will be identifying a type of player to fit an overall approach that is envisioned? Good technique, speed and strength, good passing etc. for a team tgat wants to get and keep the ball better? No more Phillips, JWPs, Zouma’s, Souceks or Ings but young, hungry players with ability and huge development potential. How can that work if the major shareholder has veto ( supposedly his 38% is enough to override anyone elee’s recommendations ) over who gets to replace Moyes . Its so dysfunctional and makes no sense. Sullivan taking a recommended manager ( not coach ) on the advice of his sychophantic agent Salthouse"

"I'm not keen on Lopategui at all, but it does seem like people are cherry picking stats and downplaying his achievements. Sevilla had finished 7th and 6th in the two seasons prior to him joining. He got them to 4th in all his three full seasons there, the only time they've ever qualified for the Champs League 3 times in a row. He was sacked after 7 games into the new season and they finished 12th. This year they are currently 13th. People also downplay what he did at Wolves, taking the bottom club at Xmas to 13th. He got more points per game than O'Neil has managed this year, but people wrongly think his successor has had better results. All that said, I'm more concerned about the style of play than what is, barring his brief time at Real Madrid, a very decent track record of results."

[LJC]

What about the shit show he took over at Sevilla and what he achieved with them? Or the shit show at wolves and what he did with them? Now I’m not a fan but cherry picking his worst bits to suit your agenda is a bit rubbish.

"Alfs, those games were largely draws. His problems towards the end was drawing too many games. Not getting humped for 4/5/6 goals multiple times."

[Alfs]

"Sevilla won just eight of their last 34 games under Lopetegui. “There was a huge drop off from January onwards in performances and results,” explains Colin Millar, who reports on La Liga for The Mirror. “It was almost endless draws, an inability to win matches. There was a drop off in standards while the expectations went up. Sounds familiar."

[goose]

Anyone signing that petition or using the phrase ‘Spanish Moyes’ is a fucking retard.

[nychammer]

"if its Lopategui then so be it. He does have success in Europe if not in the PL. There's not much say we have and to be honest I don't see a lot changing in terms of the club's overall ambition and our 'place' in the PL until Sullivan goes too. He just exudes toxicity. Anyway, Moyes going is a closed book, Shirley. That performance tells us he's off and the players don't give a fuck right now. In fact I wouldn't delay and id hook him and give someone else the last two games."

[Ron Eff]

"Lopetegui might not be anyone’s first choice, but to say he’s as bad as Moyes is ludicrous. Moyes only allows his teams to play for 10 minutes if 1-0 behind. There is nobody as negative as him in world football."

[factory seconds]

"hard to see any middle ground between this all being some secret masterstroke akin to the d-day landings to land a manager like amorim where we've got all our ducks in a line a year in advance and cunting off moyes in the january window was part of it, or us becoming a balkanised farce where everyone is rowing in polar opposite directions as salthouse tickles sullivans' bollocks and whispers his preferred names in his ear while anyone with a football IQ above infant school level fucks off out the club lively."

[El Scorchio]

Fauxstralian 2:47 Spot on. Would be classic Sullivan. Try and save a few mill on a cheapo/poor manager appointment to save a few quid now which ends up costing tenfold more to fix in 18 months time.

[Fauxstralian]

If Amorim is interested & we are reluctant to pay £10m for him that is classic pennywise pound foolish from Sullivan We’ve wasted that on Phillips & more on the likes of Ings

[goose]

The way I see it is that Amorim is top of our wish list but we’re not top of his. We have other targets that we like but not as much as him.

[JayeMPee]

"Amorim, you brought an expert in for this type of decision Sullivan let him do his job!!!"

[Fauxstralian]

Sporting won yesterday so need 1 more point in their last 2 to clinch the title. Though it’s done tonight if Benfica don’t win Presume that’s when Amorim will talk That said the Portuguese cup final v Porto is on May 26

[Pentonville]

in tim i trust. dont taje his control away sullivan

[Pentonville]

Amroim Tichul Dortmund manager Gory o neil naplo man anyone but loprtegui
