David Sullivan, chairman of West Ham, is facing renewed criticism after the controversial appointment of Tim Steidten, whose poor performance during the transfer window has raised serious questions. Former scout, Mick Brown, asserts that Sullivan shares the blame for Steidten's disastrous tenure, citing a history of questionable recruitment decisions. The arrival of Macauley is seen as a positive change, as he has a strong rapport with manager Potter, contrasting with Steidten's divisive impact. A focus on fostering mutual respect in managerial relationships is emphasized for future success.
Since then, he's got rid of two managers and been a pain in the neck for everybody. Two managers banned him from the training ground.
Steidten should never have been there in the first place... I still think questions have to be asked of the chairman over that one.
The key to these things being successful is having that mutual respect and working relationship between the manager and the head of recruitment.
Macauley coming in is going to be a huge boost for Potter because he knows him, he's worked with him before, and he holds him in high regard.
