West Ham set to axe Tim Steidten after freezing him out of transfer plans West Ham are finalising the departure of their technical director, Tim Steidten, after freezing him out of their transfer plans.
Steidten’s power has been stripped away this month – the board decided this week to restrict his access to internal systems – and the arrival of Kyle Macaulay as West Ham’s new recruitment analyst was seen as another sign of impending change.
Macaulay is a key ally of West Ham’s new manager, Graham Potter, and got to work on Thursday after joining from Chelsea.
Max Hahn, one of West Ham’s analysts, has taken on more responsibility for signings this month.
Uneasy relationships with managers have been a feature of Steidten’s time at West Ham.
