West Ham fans have been in a state of disagreement for a long period, with inconsistent results looming over the club’s head for the past two years it has brought some concern amongst fans, players and the board of West Ham.
Recent rumours have suggested that Tim Steidten, West Ham’s technical director, has been the driving force behind the idea of having a new manager and starting a new project.
Numerous news outlets have suggested that Steidten could reportedly see a move away from East London and go to Liverpool to become a part of their ‘new era’ project, which could potentially be a crucial factor in whether he decides on who the future West Ham manager could be.
At the moment it has been reported that Tim Steidten has drawn up a manager replacement list, which currently consists of the following:
Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and Will Still.
His preferred choice of the three is Tuchel after nearly joining him at Chelsea before his sacking, he is highly encouraging the board to hire him, especially after the latest Bayern Munich news which confirmed he will be leaving the club at the end of the season.
Regarding David Moyes’ position, the board are reportedly “at a standstill”. The club do not feel the necessary need to sack Moyes as they would like to back him for the remainder of the season and could potentially offer him a new contract depending on the future results, however, they understand that if results are not up to scratch a replacement may have to come in.
Despite the numerous different opinions amongst fans, a consensus of views could fit into the saying:
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now.
In Football, we don’t often see a manager’s career at a single club last 20 years, but West Ham as a club who are beginning to establish themselves as a top club that can fight for European Football season to season, has to make the executive decision if they want to commit to David Moyes and hope he can consistently retain achieving European Football, or do they attempt to bring in another manager who’s more likely to achieve that and more.
In other words, does the club want to take a risk and plant a new tree, or do they want to keep the reliable oak tree and hope it maintains its leaves.

20 years ago
The tree that was planted was Alan Pardew. I still think his sacking was premature even though he WAS on a bad run, but also possibly the last manager we had who had a clue about "The West Ham Way".
I'd agree with that. You know
I'd agree with that. You know it's funny. Back then he was kind of flavour of the month, fairly in demand as a forward thinking manager. But where is he now, as far as managing is concerned?
All managers seem to have a shelf life as far as being in demand goes. I only hope our next appointment is along those lines..
Out of a job at the moment
I wonder......do ya think?.........
Pardew also made the club an
Pardew also made the club an enormous amount of money in the transfer market, he got Joby McAnuff Reo-Coker and Adam Nowland for just £500,000 from wimbledon and all were sold on for a profit, the first two going for huge money!huge money! Pardew was also a top man, nicest hammers manager I ever met, up there with 'arry as a good bloke who also had time for a relatively new journo.
I think Bilic would be a good
I think Bilic would be a good fit on a temp basis until the end of the season. He knows the club. We was playing good attacking football. Should have won the FA Cup under him.
I thought he was unlucky to go. Club was in transition. Just moved to our current home. Had to deal with Payet refusing to play. I for one would welcome him back gor the remainder of the season.
I agree Enfield.
I agree Enfield,and yes Pardew was the up and coming manager of that time.
