No real reason why he would stay. Just hope our powers that be have all the incomings already sorted once the dominos start to fall

Yep, we still have to expect Fernandes to leave. If he stays then great. If he does go then jesus there's a lot of work to be done before the end of the window.

Hoping we've got our incomings lined up before they let him go out the door 🤞🏼 Fair deal all round, the thing I'd worry about overall is his final ball / decision making is still a work in process and they probably won't be that patient having shelled out a fee like that...

Yes, I get a sense that Potter is dwelling in the quietism of despair. They need a freshen up.

If Fernandes leaves you have got to think it could be to somewhere other than West Ham. Rumours have already suggested that they are not prepared to get anywhere near our valuation, but with West Ham rapidly looking like a relegation struggler will Fernandes really want another season like that?

Of course, it maybe that the Chelsea thrashing will cause them to find another £10m behind Sullivan's sofa and Fernandes may be sufficiently convinced that he can help them to rise above that level, but it would be somewhat of a gamble for him in that sense.

It would also be a gamble for West Ham if they think they may need to change their manager with all the extra costs that would involve.

Nevertheless, some weeks ago Fernandes was linked with a move to one of several big European clubs and he seemed to prefer that option, so it remains to be seen if one of them finally makes a bid.

When you think about the fire sale two years ago, this summer at least feels more orderly. Hopefully we can build from a position of strength now and bring in some good players

It wasn't a fire sale. Fire sales are selling things along way below their worth. Saints raised a huge amount of money that summer.

We all know he's not coming but just to prove it more he's off to play another Russian Premier League match this weekend.

You're picking me up on the precise use of language but my point was that we needed to raise a large sum and sell a large number of players to balance the books. It felt more challenging to get where we needed to be financially
