    Potter should have given Coufal & Cresswell short term contracts (1 year ) , he also new AFCON would take place…..

    VAR can’t overturn a yellow. So, the ref gives a yellow card, and the only way VAR can do anything different is by recommending it as a red

    Ok I’ll say it, we should never have let Moyes go.
    He didn't want to be here.
    I don’t blame him after all the rubbish he had to endure.

    The players haven't looked unhappy and fight and team spirit were pretty good until yesterday, I really feel it is just a question of quality. Too many of our players in important positions are Championship quality and they will land us in the Championship. It's not even their fault as players like Mavro are giving their all. This is my view on our side from yesterday.

    Areola - Lower Prem/ champ
    Scarles - League one/champ
    Walker-Peters - lower Prem/ Champ
    Kilman - lower Champ/ league one
    Mavro - lower Champ
    Potts - Lower Prem
    Fernandes - Prem
    Magassa - Lower Prem- Champ
    Bowen - Top 6 Prem
    Summerville - Prem
    Wilson - Lower prem

    That's down to the board.
    There's not a single reason the board wouldn't have wanted to keep Moyes. Their priority is staying in the PL and Moyes did that comfortably most seasons, and has us in Europe three seasons in a row.

    The board could have said whatever they wanted, but a lot of the fanbase made clear that Moyes wasn't wanted anymore.
    Didn't they withdraw the contract offer?
    I don't know, I wasn't there. Why would the board want rid of Moyes?

    How can you be ‘in danger’ of losing support? The players won’t be like ‘I’m 80% there, I’ll give it another week’. He either has it or he doesn’t & given he kicked out JWP without giving him a chance, then played Andy Irving & Souček as a pairing, no striker & full-backs on their opposite sides (in his first weeks in the role) I’m not surprised.

    Steinberg reports players don’t support Nuno, many don’t understand what he wants, haven’t been spoken to by him for weeks & his communication about what he wants is inconsistent.

    I’m sure he will get Tuesday but I cannot see how he survives if we lose to Forest.
    If any of this is true, I blame the players 100%. 4 decent managers in a row tells me where the problem really lies
    Hang on, you blame the players for his poor communication and inconsistent requests?

    Full article is here: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/jan/04/nuno-espirito-santo-losing-support-west-ham-squad

    Nuno Espírito Santo is in danger of losing the support of West Ham’s squad because of concerns over his man-management and tactics.
    (my italics)
    Well, his communication was fine last season when Forest were challenging for the Champions League. A similar article came out about the players not understanding Lopetegui, too.

    I think there's a good chance the players are a bunch of whiners who don't really feel like putting the effort in, personally.
