Re: EFL Chat 26/27
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.

Re: EFL Chat 26/27
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.

Re: EFL Chat 26/27
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.

Re: EFL Chat 26/27
Says it all, Nuno is a journeyman, not at the same level as Farke imo!Clacton White wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2026 12:17 pm 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 .

Biggest thing I learned from that is Mark Hughes had a position to lose. . . . .
Didn't think he'd managed for about 10 years

Re: EFL Chat 26/27
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.

Re: EFL Chat 26/27
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.Muppet the Cat wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2026 8:33 am 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.

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
