Wolves fans have renewed their anger towards former manager Julen Lopetegui after he agreed to take over from David Moyes at West Ham.

The Spaniard left Molineux in controversial circumstances last summer after he was highly critical of the players and unhappy with the board.

However, with the Hammers searching for a new boss as Moyes is set to leave the London Stadium this summer, it appears the former Wolves man will replace him.

Football Insider has reported that Lopetegui has accepted an offer to become the new West Ham manager.

Guillem Balague, meanwhile, insisted the manager's departure from Molineux was due to issues with the board, questioning the fans for their anger (via X, 6 May).

Many supporters at Molineux have voiced their displeasure towards Lopetegui, with some labelling him "pathetic" and a "fraud" while others warned West Ham to "beware".

And say the players was not good enough to stay up
Fraud

He left the club for dry 72 hours before the season started. He stayed on as long as possible to get the pay check big enough! Pathetic and greedy!

Strange that in interviews he kept saying they weren’t good enough, or are you saying it was someone else that said it then? West ham beware the second a better offer is available he will leave

the way he treated Raul joao ait nouri and Johnny was awful. He is a man who lacks respect . Only interested in himself. he took a job and took a contract and then bottled it because he couldn't get his own way.
Your love for him is bizarre.

He did a good job while he was at Molineux
but his treatment of
Joao Moutino, Raul Jimenez and Rayan Ait Nouri
Will leave a bad taste in my mouth.
I feel sorry for the West Ham fans.

To be honest, despite him being a spoilt brat, we have a bigger issue with you than him.

He constantly slated the team in interviews, said they wasn't good enough to stay up. He then went behind the club's back to give YOU an interview... Our camp is much happier without him that's for sure.

He’ll be gone by Christmas
