West Ham United: Newcastle pursuit of Tim Steidten takes fresh twist

Newcastle have Tim Steidten, the West Ham sporting director to replace the Manchester United bound Dan Ashworth, on their shortlist, according to the Telegraph.

The newspaper reported on 14 March on their website that the Magpies are going to ramp up their pursuit and consider the best way to deal with Ashworth’s exit.

Along with Steidten, Paul Mitchell, Brentford’s Director of Football Phil Giles and former Roma sporting director Tiago Pinto are all understood to be on the shortlist.

West Ham must keep Steidten amid Newcastle interest

Despite his past disagreements with David Moyes, Steidten’s departure could disrupt the club’s stability, especially amid the manager’s uncertain future.

If Moyes quits in the summer, Steidten could align his vision with a new manager, potentially revitalising West Ham’s project without the risk of upheaval.

Continuity is crucial in football, and Steidten’s departure mid-project could hinder progress.

Moreover, his expertise and experience could prove invaluable in shaping the club’s future, regardless of the managerial situation.

By retaining Steidten, the Hammers can ensure a smoother transition between managerial changes, maintaining the momentum of their project.
