Has anyone posted this? https://1.ftb.al/eUV0wnafgN Tl;dr Pellegrini agreed in November 2017 he would take over at West Ham, and has been discussing transfer budgets and targets since then. That would be a case of Gollivan acting like fans want them to.
Eduardo Macia has signed for West Ham as the Club’s new Director of Football. A position that David Sullivan promised that the club would adopt. Macia preciously worked as a scout at both Valencia and Liverpool and as head of recruitment at Leicester. #WHUFC

If it's true, I applaud them but why then go through the theatrics: - Interviewing other managers. - Gold saying he wants Moyes to stay.
Just thank Moyes for getting the job done and announce Pellegrini. Unless we were talking to Pellegrini without the required permissions there was no reason for the antics.
Yes, I'm not sure what the 'smokescreen' was meant to be screening. It doesn't really fit with the remainder of the theory.
I can, though, see that discussions with Pellegrini a while back might have led to a tentative agreement 'in principle' that if West Ham avoided relegation (and various other 'ifs') talks would be held again in the summer.
Exploring other possible options (eg Moyes, Fonseca, Rafa) in case things didn't work out with Pellegrini seems to me to be sensible forward planning.
I also don't really buy the line that Moyes wasn't given funds in January as part of the 'secret' strategy. Surely Pellegrini taking the job was contingent on us avoiding relegation.

No doubt this whole hire and the way they’ve gone about it is a plus in the David’s column..
Makes him sound like a right drama queen ;biggrin
Gandolf and Bilbo discuss the Desolation of the Boleyn
Too far? ;hmm
I think that’s what she looks like on the inside.
Never realised we had a Ork running the club...
It's not adding anything to the discussion.
Feels like it is moving from humour to just nasty.

I actually feel sorry for him now
Always assuming this report is true...
