Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted May 2 David Moyes is out of contract at West Ham at the end of the season and contract negotiations will not take place until the end of the season but the owner is speculatively looking for a potential replacement (two players may get this as bonus) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very harsh on David Moyes, but let's see if West Ham reap what they sow. Wonder what's next for Moyes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted May 6 As we reach the business end of the season, a quick update to say there's been no new hits. Misses include Steve Evans at Stevenage (who left to take over at newly relegated Rotherham), Neill Collins at Barnsley (sacked with one game of the season left - it seems to work as they secured their playoff spot) and Rob Dray at National League South Taunton. 3 sackings were ineligible as Rotherham, Gillingham and Morecambe all changed manager for the second time this season - something a ridiculous 14 teams have done this season. Klopp's imminent departure from Liverpool will give 2 teams a hit and if Moyes leaves West Ham that would give 2 (different) teams a hit. No one has Ten Hag if Jim Radcliffe chooses to pull the trigger at Old Trafford. Lots of the remaining EFL picks have been promoted this season, so are safe from the sack, but could be poached by someone higher up potentially, although a poor start to next season may be the most likely time to go. All 4 Championship play-off contenders are still in post, but would any of them be sacked if they don't get up? I think Leeds will give Farke another season, Wagner seems to have turned things around for now at Norwich, West Brom will keep Corberan and Southampton will stick with Martin. Almost all of them could be in danger if next season starts badly, however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I think he has over-performed with that squad in recent years, but then again I've not had to watch them every week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted May 7 Enzo Maresca is not a happy chappy and will consider his position if communications at Leicester City are not improved. He was apparently kept in the dark about some of the financial problems and doesn't think he will have enough to spend to make Leicester City PL ready Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great Uncle Bulgaria 1,286 Posted May 15 The Beavers hoping for a bit of stimulation - Mel Gwinnett out and Alan Julian in at Hampton & Richmond (not too far away from The Common!) in National League South. Bit of a surprise as they had gone from only a few points above the drop zone last season to being in the play off positions for most of this, only missing out on the last day of the season. Clearly doesn't do to raise expectations by doing unexpectedly well. Hit for me. https://hamrichfc.com/blogs/news/alan-julian-becomes-beavers-boss 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently an Arsenal coach is favourite for the job, as he worked with the new Director of Football, who was involved with loans at Arsenal previously. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
