West Ham United: David Sullivan’s Change of Heart on Ruben Amorim Proves Costly

West Ham United’s decision to appoint Julen Lopetegui over Ruben Amorim has raised questions among fans and pundits alike. According to talkSPORT journalist Alex Crook, Amorim had agreed to personal terms with the Hammers before David Sullivan hesitated over paying the Portuguese manager’s £8.3 million release clause.

Amorim, currently at Sporting Lisbon, was reportedly eager to join West Ham, but Sullivan’s cold feet led to Lopetegui’s appointment instead. Now, Amorim is tipped to replace Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.

Analysis:

Amorim’s attacking style would have likely resonated with West Ham fans, who have been craving dynamic football. The Portuguese manager’s potential move to Old Trafford raises concerns about what could have been at the London Stadium.

Lopetegui, meanwhile, faces pressure to deliver after a mixed start. His task is to win over the fanbase, with some already drawing comparisons to David Moyes.

West Ham’s decision may prove costly if Amorim succeeds at Manchester United. Only time will tell if Sullivan’s caution was justified.
