Kudus is being snapped up by someone if hes not happy! Hes got something special about him!

A source has revealed that Jean Clair-Todibo has threatened to leave West Ham if Julen Lopetegui continues on as manager.

The Frenchman was 'publicly humiliated' during the altercation with Lopetegui at HT against Arsenal. He's since trained on his own.

....

So that's him and kudus he has annoyed. You can't fall out with the better players..

People claim "oh no player is bigger than the manager" but that's bull .. the fact that these 2 have fallen out and then Rodriguez has asked to leave after falling out with the manager. If that's 4 players fallen out with the manager the problem isn't the players.

I told you Lopetegui was a clown! Sack race now I think, who goes first, him or Ange? Or maybe it's O'Neil...

I'd take O'Neil, he's been dealt a rubbish hand at wolves. Selling their best players with nobody in

But your right j-lo is a clown. One player I could accept as a personality clash but this is 4 now . 4 players means you are the problem.

Well unless it is, far easier to blame and sack a manager though than a player - far more protected.

Chances are he's gone within the next 2 weeks, issue is, I've no idea who on earth you go for.

Manager market these days is mental, one short successful stint in a lesser league and youre the next big thing. The old next big things are just on a merry go round of being hired and fired.

Mess

Graeme potter! He is who I wanted in the summer

Hell he is who I wanted when it was apparent Moyes was on the move.

Really want him to build something like he did with Brighton

I could let off 1 player fall out. It happens but that's now areola, Rodriguez, todibo, kudus all fallen out with.

Our DOF was against j-lo coming in and has said to the board let him find a manager. If you have a DOF he should be picking the manager anyways!

I shared my thoughts on Potter earlier this week.

He's a system manager, Brighton's success was not down to him, its their model. Hence why they've had 2 managers since and not really taken a step backwards at all.

Do you know who was and still is perfect for the job? David Moyes.

No he was terrible at the end. If you look at the league form in his last 2 seasons it was very bad.

Our record in 2024 is awful

He saved his job by winning the Europa conference.

Last season we let in 74 goals. It wasn't good at all.

The season he won the trophy we finished on 40 points. We only let in 55 goals so 19 less than last season.

There was talk if had he lost the final he would have been sacked because of his league form

He should have left then tbh. After the win to end on a high rather than last season which was drab football and 74 goals let in. It was the 4th most amount of goals let in

After Xmas he managed 18 points. That's relegation form

We got pasted by Fulham. Palace. City, Liverpool.

It was time for him to go it was the correct decision

Appointing j-lo was the wrong decision


We had the man united manager agreed but Sullivan refused to pay 10 million to get him out his contact

Instead he saw ex real Madrid manager for free

One of the worst managers they ever had. Basically jacked from Spain on the eve of the World Cup to get the job, three months later he'd lost it already.

Sullivan has this fetish with getting ex big club managers for free thinking they will work

Did the same when he didn't renew Moyes the first time and spunked his pants because pellers was available for free. He won the premier league he must be good.

That set is back, we should have stuck with Moyes then and backed him at that time.

The sooner Sullivan leaves the club the better but unfortunately he's here for a while

Thats the big thing, if you're a PL owner its an investment that is only ever going to go up, Sullivans going nowhere!

When he appointed a DOF after the Czech investment and took a back seat on transfers it was ok

It's since he's started to put his ore in again and wants to deal with his mate salthouses clients only. Really makes it hard to buy players if he heavily favours one agent

Spurs made a similar mistakes. Went for 'winners' Mourinho and Conte, forgetting that they pretty much bought entire new elevens at most of their clubs and we weren't going to give them the money to do that. Now gone for another 'winner' who's only won in fourth rate leagues. The manager has to match the club at the end of the day.

Do you not give Potter credit for his setting up of that system? He surely did more than Chris Hughton on that front.

@Norrin Radd what is your view on this?

Potter set the way Brighton played and de zerbi rode on the back of it. He might have tweaked it a little but it was potter ball , de zerbi was a fake in my opinion ,the latter half of our season last year was diabolical and he changed nothing in the way we played . He was a one trick pony .potter was very methodical and got the players into playing how he wanted them to . Along with shrewd signings.he had Brighton the talk of the premier league.
He wasn't given a chance at Stamford bridge as the players were all new to Chelsea and not his signings, this he had a mega job on his hands to get a bunch of prima Donna's to play as a team rather than the bunch of individuals who all thought they were better than the rest of the players .
I would take potter back at Brighton any day.

Merseyside derby has been called off. All games in Wales as well.

Presumably more may follow.

Sunderland due to play Stoke at home at 12:30, current forecast is heavy rain and 50-60mph winds, just ridiculous to currently be going ahead when Stoke fans will have left.

Game will be a lottery, but unfair to put needless traffic on the roads for a game of Football.

I totally agree with you, I think Potter is potentially a very good Premier League manager still. I'd take him at Spurs over Ange in a heartbeat.
