Manager’s or Former Player’s Autobiography
Such incidents are not uncommon in football. However, there is generally an etiquette that dictates dressing room matters should remain private. The saying goes, “What goes on the mile, stays on the mile” – at least until decades later when memoirs start to surface.
What concerns me isn’t just the ‘squaring-up’ itself; it’s that someone in the dressing room chose to leak this information, fully aware that it could further undermine the coach’s position, which may have been the intention.
Regardless of the motives, the atmosphere at West Ham appears quite toxic right now, and improvements don’t seem likely in the near future.
The best solution for everyone involved would be for Kudus to secure a spot in the Hammers’ starting lineup against Ipswich, thereby quelling the speculation.
