BREAKING News:Julen Lopetegui signs his resignation letter few minutes ago
Journalists and pundits were queuing up to warn West Ham to be careful what they wish for when replacing David Moyes with Julen Lopetegui.
In the wake of West Ham’s decision to hire Julen Lopetegui as the successor to David Moyes, Hammers News asked ‘Can anybody find the Spaniard somebody to love’.
It highlighted the throng of pundits, journalists and ex West Ham stars who felt it was the wrong move.
It is also fair to say a large section of Hammers fans were unconvinced by the Lopetegui appointment too.
Spanish journalist Guillem Balague was often a lone voice trying to justify the new West Ham head coach’s credentials.
Balague became increasingly exasperated at some of the cynicism and criticism surrounding the 57-year-old’s appointment by West Ham.
Especially after being heavily linked with “sexier” names such as Ruben Amorim.
Moyes has many friends in the media and West Ham’s decision to part company with the Scot was greeted with almost universal condemnation among them.
The Hammers were warned ad nauseum to ‘be careful what you wish for’.
Hammers News has repeatedly warned the press will be out to get Lopetegui at the first sign of any difficulty.
That was already evident in pre-season. The Sun reported that fans were calling to ‘bring back Moyes’ based on a couple of comments on social meida.
Just three Premier League games in, Paul Merson claimed Lopetegui is already under pressure to get a tune out of his new-look Hammers team.
