    Midsummer musings, including transfers, fixtures, England, concessions fiasco and more

    After a month break, James and Will are back for a little midsummer catch-up about all things West Ham (and a little bit on England at the Euros).
    The lads discuss transfers, the new fixture list, the concessions fiasco and loads more.
    We also welcome the podcast's principle sponsor Miriam Errington from Miriam Errington conveyancing for a chat about how her sponsorship of the show has benefitted her business down under.
    Chad Yeomans from Betway, our charity partner, also joins us to talk about our disappointing season of charity bets, although he comes with a very generous gesture!
    Thank you to both Chad and Miriam for their incredible support this season - without them this podcast wouldn't exist!
    And of course, we want to thank all of our amazing listeners and subscribers around the world who continue to support us and give us such amazing engagement and feedback. We appreciate and love you all!
    This is a one off midsummer catch-up, but we'll be back properly nearer the start of the new season.
    Remember, if you love what we do, please leave us a nice review on whatever platform you're listening on. It helps us more than you know and allows us to be found by new listeners, helping us grow even more!

    End of season media panel - ‘Julen Lopetegui should leave if West Ham lie to him about transfers’ despite Tim Steidten bromance

    End of season media panel - ‘Julen Lopetegui should leave if West Ham lie to him about transfers’ despite Tim Steidten bromance

    Julen Lopetegui was confirmed as West Ham’s new manager just hours before the FA announced Lucas Paqueta has been hit with six charges - four relating to suspicious betting and two for non-compliance with an investigation. 
    It capped a mad end to yet another rollercoaster campaign for the Hammers as legend David Moyes waved goodbye after spearheading the club’s most successful period in decades. 
    And to cap of the season, Will Pugh is joined by three top journalists and friends of the podcast: Tom Rennie from TalkSPORT International and Sirius XM plus Hammers correspondents Jacob Steinberg (The Guardian) and Jack Rosser (The Sun).
    The guys talk all things Moyes, Lopetegui, Tim Steidten, Paqueta, David Sullivan, summer transfer plans, hopes and fears for next season and beyond, and of course how many more decades Michail Antonio will play up front for the Irons. 
    It’s a truly brilliant episode with some razor sharp insight from proper professionals with contacts at every level of the club. 
    As always, thanks for listening!

    Opposition View: Manchester City, with David Mooney from Blue Moon Podcast

    Opposition View: Manchester City, with David Mooney from Blue Moon Podcast

    West Ham go to Man City with almost the entire non-Gooner London population, including some Hammers fans, wanting them to lose to deny Arsenal the title. 
    David Mooney from The Blue Moon podcast joins Will to discuss that notion plus the idea that Man City’s record fourth consecutive Premier League title, and any future and previous success is tainted by the financially manufactured way it has been procured.
    The Hammers are set to finish ninth and will say goodbye to David Moyes at the Etihad after a historic spell as manager with the future unknown and fans still split. 
    And it’s left all of us feeling different types of emotional and uncertain about what the future holds. 
    Thanks for listening this season and we hope you will stay with us for the next campaign.

    Predicting how many goals West Ham will let Man City score to stop Arsenal winning the title

    Predicting how many goals West Ham will let Man City score to stop Arsenal winning the title

    As final home games of the season go, that was pretty good. The sun was out, we won and most of the fans inside the London Stadium stayed around to give David Moyes heaps of appreciation before he departs at the end of the campaign.
    Will wasn't pleased with the relatively under the radar approach West Ham gave to his send off but it was still nice to see close to a full stadium stay behind after the game to give him some love. That was the least he deserved after the unbelievable journey he's taken us on over the last four years.
    Also this week, we discuss the win over Luton, George Earthy's first West Ham goal for the club and the part West Ham could play in the title race, which is likely to be absolutely no part at all as we inevitably get thrashed 6-0.
    There are only a few more podcast episodes left before we have a little summer break, but we've got a bit of a treat coming for you once the season finishes so make sure you're subscribed!

    Everyone's just given up as the Lopetegui era edges closer

    Everyone's just given up as the Lopetegui era edges closer

    You didn't need us to tell you how bad it was at the weekend. The 5-0 scoreline says all you need to know. The players appear to have given up and seemingly so has David Moyes as he edges closer to the exit door.
    And reports this week suggest his replacement will be Julen Lopetegui, who has reportedly agreed terms with the club having rejected both AC Milan and Bayern Munich. Sections of the fanbase say it's an underwhelming appointment but that's propably because the club had everyone believing there was an actual chance of appointing Ruben Amorim, which was obviously never an actual go-er.
    So this week's episode is mostly about the speculation surrounding our new manager and discussion about what needs to be done this summer in order for us to continue moving forwards as a football club.

    How much time will the rebuild be given?

    How much time will the rebuild be given?

    It's generally accepted that David Moyes is nearing the end of what has been a wonderful four year tenure as manager of West Ham. But whoever his replacement is, how much time will he be given to rebuild?
    As one era ends, another begins, but this new era will have to begin with a whole rebuild of the squad and a new tactical philosophy coached into them. It will take time, arguably longer than a single season, and will likely need at least 3-4 transfer windows for the new manager to bring in the right players to be effective in implementing his footprint on the club. But will he get that long? Will the fans be patient enough? What signs will need to be there for fans to sit tight and accept it needs time, not more change at the first sign of trouble?
    The last thing the club needs is a run of constantly changing the manager until one comes in, hits the ground running and provides immediate success. The likelihood is it won't happen like that. We're probably looking at a transitional season where we finish between 10th-13th, before signs of real progress kick in. But will fans accept that after the previous four years of success, delivered to them by the very manager many of them want to see the back of?
    That's all discussed and more on this week's pod!
