First bit of news is West Ham co-owner Daniel Kretinsky has apparently convinced Nuno Esperito Santo to remain as manager next season

The super rich Czech billionaire apparently stepped in and convinced him to stay.

Yep good for West Ham and they'll have a very good chance to bounce back up. Of course there will be departures but the Hammers will still have enough money and clout to put together a formidable squad.

This seems to contradict your post.

There are some decent players in the championship who I think could make the step up so we should be looking at them.
Players like Antoine Semenyo, Alex Scott and Ivan Toney were all plucked from lower league football and have done well and didn't cost a fortune.

I think the damage was done before he started , mind you I think 4 of the bottom 6 were managed by Nuno at some stage ....Wolves , Forest , Spurs , Hammers .

They are definitely in a financial crisis, Shaun.

Says it all, Nuno is a journeyman, not at the same level as Farke imo!

Biggest thing I learned from that is Mark Hughes had a position to lose. . . . .

Didn't think he'd managed for about 10 years

Think he was at Bradford not so long ago, decent player in his day.

Not sure if it’s a brave or daft decision for the club’s owner to come out and confirm Eckert has his support and backing to remain as manager. Although, if the FA give him a ban then he forces his hand to look elsewhere, I guess.

I was listening to a football thing the other day, ex footballers sat in a studio (can't remember exactly who or what the "podcast" was about) but they were talking about the away dressing rooms of a certain ground where there was a place where you could hear the team talks before the game and HT. Something which apparently was encouraged by the home team.

So "spying" has gone on and is still going on, a lot

I'd think you learn a lot more listening then watching from 200 yards away too
