Nuno Espirito Santo and West Ham's hierarchy are in talks regarding his future at the club following relegation from the Premier League.

It's still unclear whether Nuno is leaving because at that meeting it became apparent that David Sullivan wanted Nuno to go, but Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky wants him to stay, and help West Ham get back into the Premier League. Kretinsky is currently working on a deal to acquire more of the late David Gold's share ownership, and put himself on a par with Sullivan in terms of his. stake in the club.

If Nuno does go, a couple of names have been banded about as to who would replace him such as Scott Parker, and Gary O'Neil, but the most interesting one is Max Allegri, the recently sacked manager of AC Milan. A couple of years ago, Allegri started learning English so he could apply for the West Ham job, but Julen Lopetegui got it. Whether Allegri would be interested in taking on West Ham as a Championship club remains to be seen.

Allegri just got the napoli job

A Wolves fan account just posted this

"Wolves have agreed a deal to sign Kieran Trippier!

The 35-year-old will sign a two-year deal with the option of a third.

Confirmation of the deal is pending a medical, which will take place when Trippier returns from holiday next week".

Marco Silva has joined Benfica in a three-year deal plus an option for a fourth. Fulham's now looking for a head coach.

Given the overwhelming number of stories where managers last about 10 minutes in their jobs, it's always staggering to hear about the ones, like Silva, who somehow lasted 5 whole years.

Here's your fun fact - assuming Wikipedia is any judge - Marco Silva was born the same day as Brock Lesnar.

David Sullivan's stepped down as the joint CEO of West Ham.

Fans are celebrating.

^Now that Daniel Kretinsky is in sole charge, presumably Nuno can stay if he wants to, and wants to try and get us back in the Premier League.

The Wast Ham board already confirmed that Nuno is staying. They announced it on 27 May.

I had heard this morning David Gould has resigned from the board at West Ham, following sex allegations (which I believe are historical), how far back do those allegations go? I think they said they stem from around something in 2015

there seems to be a lot of allegations there is a panorama special tommorow
