Nuno another 'mediocre manager' or someone to 'steady the ship'?

We asked for your views on Nuno Espirito Santo’s appointment as West Ham United’s new head coach.

The turnaround from Graham Potter’s departure was quick, but do you think the former Tottenham and Nottingham Forest boss is the right man to solve the club’s current problems?

Here are some of your thoughts:

John: It’s too early to know what impact Nuno will have. We all thought Potter was the answer, but perhaps our player acquisitions need scrutiny.

Simon: I like Nuno. I think he will steady the ship, with particular attention to detail in central defence and the goalkeeper position. He will make us harder at the back and we will build from there. A good appointment at last!

Roger: Yet another manager – when are the owners ever going to learn? They could have bought a top class striker, and possibly a top class central defender for the money they have wasted on a procession of mediocre managers.

James: A good appointment and the right time to make a change. Nuno will hopefully imprint his ideas quickly and get the team pushing up the table. I’m just glad this has come about now, rather than further down the line when it could’ve been too late.

Iain: Nuno was the last manager Potter beat as West Ham manager before he too was sacked. So now we’ve appointed two sacked managers this season, the current losing to the prior. It bodes well for a tragic club in crisis, with an appalling board run by the Brady bunch!

Jon: This just proves that Karren Brady and David Sullivan can’t run a football club. They have made some horrendous decisions when it comes to management appointments. It’s time for them to sell up, move on and get West Ham back in a stadium which they can call home.
