David Sullivan could yet pull off masterstroke with radical new West Ham plan
David Sullivan may be set to change his reputation at West Ham.
Sullivan has come under scrutiny at West Ham over the years as fans grow frustrated with the lack of true improvement at the London Stadium.
This has come to the fore this season already, especially after West Ham fell to heavy defeats against Tottenham, Chelsea and Sunderland.
As a result, the future of Graham Potter hangs in the balance at West Ham, something that could see Sullivan make a switch just five games into the campaign.
The Hammers chairman could be set to change the tide in East London with a decision that many supporters would initially look down upon.
West Ham fans let down by Slaven Bilic links
Should Potter be moved on by the Irons, reports have emerged that West Ham could turn to Slaven Bilic as a potential alternative.
This comes seven years after his initial departure as head coach after a frustrating spell in charge, a year after the Olympic Park move.
Despite this, the Croatian’s stint in the dugout is looked back on fondly by the claret and blue faithful after he saw out the final season at the Boleyn Ground in superb fashion.
Even with that being the case, supporters in E20 aren’t sold on the potential re-appointment of Bilic at this stage of the campaign.
Despite this, there is every chance that Sullivan could be set to execute a stroke of genius, based on previous activity with the Hammers.
David Sullivan to replicate David Moyes blueprint
It is fair to say that the West Ham chairman has a record for bringing back old managers after failed appointments of other coaches.
That was certainly the case with David Moyes, with the Scot originally coming in through the doors in East London back in 2017.
His first stint saw him tasked with avoiding relegation, something which he achieved with ease before then being asked to leave a year later.
Manuel Pellegrini failed as his replacement, before the ex-Manchester United boss came back and went on to win the Conference League, while keeping West Ham in Europe for three consecutive seasons.
With the success of that blueprint already there, Sullivan could return to that and bring in Bilic with the hope of him turning the tide at the London Stadium.
If the Croatian can replicate Moyes’ success, it could prove to be a masterstroke from the chairman, something which could alter his public perception in East London.
