Board meeting LIVE: Lopetegui at Rush Green on Thursday as West Ham sack talks held” after so many wasted investment and so many deliberate sad results” was discovered by the hammers board chairman’ it could be a day to remember for Julen” here’s the tragic outcome…
According to the website [5 December], the Spaniard was at Rush Green on December 5 as David Sullivan and the Hammers contemplated firing him after Tuesday, December 3, when they lost 3-1 to Leicester City.
Technical director Tim Steidten has already created a succession plan for the failing head coach, indicating his support for a change at the top [GiveMeSport].
Julen Lopetegui continues West Ham duties despite sack talks
Lopetegui will be desperate to be given more time at the London Stadium, but it seems that Sullivan has already made his mind up on the failing head coach [TBR Football].
It really comes as no surprise to see Steidten already setting his eyes on a new manager, having not agreed on many things with David Moyes, but he deserves his own critics this season.
With Niclas Fullkrug missing most games, Guido Rodriguez and Jean-Clair Todibo struggling for form, and Luis Guilherme unavailable, it appears that the technical director’s summer transfer moves have mostly failed.
However, Lopetegui will continue to work with the players at his disposal, many of whom hold incredible quality and should be able to propel the Hammers up the Premier League table.
Max Kilman, Mohammed Kudus, Jarrod Bowen, and Lucas Paqueta all possess the skill to advance the Hammers, but they require a management who can see their full potential.
With 15 points from their first 14 games, the side are sitting in 14th, which is totally unacceptable. Supporters are frustrated with the lack of positive results as well as the poor playing style.
The Spaniard will be up against his former Wolves side next if he remains in charge for that long, with the clash already being labelled “El Sackico” due to Gary O’Neil’s struggles at Molineux.
Ally McCoist hits out at ‘strange’ Julen Lopetegui decision at West Ham recently
Ally McCoist was perplexed by Julen Lopetegui’s choice of starting lineup before to Tuesday’s 3-1 loss to Leicester City. Managers must rotate players due to the lengthy Premier League season, particularly during the hectic winter months, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s left-back lineup on December 3rd caused some concern.
Fans began to doubt Lopetegui’s judgment as he benched players like Emerson, Crysencio Summerville, and Michail Antonio for the match at King Power Stadium. “I thought the team selection versus Leicester was strange,” McCoist stated in a live interview with talkSPORT on December 5, at 7:27 a.m.
With Emerson on the bench and Wan-Bissaka at left-back, he pulled Coufal back into the game. Danny Ings was in the lead. Summerville, Antonio, and Paqueta—who, in my opinion, is a superb football player—were on his bench. You only get away with making choices like that with your squad if you win.
Julen Lopetegui’s struggles at West Ham United are still ongoing. Jim White reports that because the Hammers are having trouble establishing themselves on the field, board meetings will now be held to discuss the future of the present head coach in East London.
Some supporters were pleasantly surprised by the 2-0 win over Newcastle United before crashing straight back down to earth as they conceded five goals in a single half against Arsenal.
Even against Leicester, it was a courageous move, with Summerville, Antonio, and Paqueta confined to the bench and Jean-Clair Todibo reportedly hurt following an altercation with the head coach [Daily Mail]. Some of the decisions might have gone unnoticed if they had easily won all three points, but the pressure is only growing, and they might be his last moves as manager.
