Julen Lopetegui sacked. (n/t) on 16:23 - Jan 7 by BlueDouglas | Apparently they only wanted to offer Potter a contract until the end of the season, looking like it's all gone a bit t*ts up over there |
I heard they had offered him that a month ago and he had turned it down then. I presume they have had further discussions on that since if he's still in the running. Offered it to someone else at that time as well on the same basis. |  | |  |

Julen Lopetegui sacked. (n/t) on 16:02 - Jan 6 by JammyDodgerrr | No surprise, was a bad appointment. Tough gig there actually, now with Bowen out for the foreseeable and Antonio unavailable. Could easily lose Kudus in this window and Paqueta is awaiting the outcome of his betting case. |
JammyDodgerrr, that's interesting.. They could definitely be catchable with a few results going against them. |  |

Haha, a cynic might wonder why Potter agreed to meet again for more discussions, how someone just happened to be able to photo said meeting and leak it to the press, and end up in a situation where Wham are stuck with a choice of keeping a lame duck manager, giving Potter the deal he wants or having to move quickly onto another second choice option… |  |

Seems that way. His presser this afternoon has been cancelled. |  |

What a farce. They are treating him really badly. I'd love it (Kevin Keegan style) if we stayed up above them. Especially after those playoff defeats all those years ago. [Post edited 8 Jan 10:59]

Surely he has a case for constructive dismissal? I know clubs speak with managers behind others backs, but doing so, so publically and stringing him along, surely that's not right on a HR level |  |

He’d have to resign to claim constructive dismissal, far easier to just cling on and wait to be paid off |  |

It gets better, at the training ground and expected to take training apparently. Guess the presser was cancelled to avoid all those awkward questions about his future. ........That West Ham instigated by offering managers contracts when he was still in place |  |

Wasn't the Moyes saga pretty much a farce too? Looks from the outside that they are a basket-case club bubbling under. |  | |  |

Surely this 'Ace In The Hole' story is going to keep on until there is some big transfer news to occupy football journalists... |  |

And we lost 4-1 to them. It's probably the result that annoys me the most this season - that or Everton at home. |  |

Don't forget this is the man who threw his toys out the pram and left Wolves less than a week before the season started (if I remeber correctly). ALso, i'm sure his deal with WH would have been agreed before they decided Moyes contract won't be extended. However, this is a farce. Seems clear they want rid, but don't want to do it until another manager has agreed to come! Offering a manager a contract to the end of the season doesn't instill much confidence in them.

On the beeb version, there's a commenter saying West Ham should look at their leadership team who does the hiring and I totally agree with that. A proper sh1tshow. I mean fancy trying to persuade Potter to come for just a few months, when he's been so fussy up till now. |  |

We didn't, Sitters saw the story on TalkSport (who had called it correct but too early) and we got sucked into watching the train wreck that is West Ham's senior management in action |  |
