After the chaos of Potter’s sacking and Nuno’s arrival, The West Ham Syndrome Podcast takes a deeper look at the club’s biggest recurring issue - how West Ham United is actually run.

In this episode, Andrew and Max dig into the long-term structural problems that keep the Hammers trapped in a cycle of false dawns: short-term managerial fixes, confused recruitment, and a lack of footballing identity. We explore how decisions from the top continue to undermine progress on the pitch and why even promising appointments eventually fall apart under the weight of poor governance.

From broken promises about “the next level” to the blurred lines between ambition and accountability, we ask: is West Ham’s biggest problem its ownership model, not its managers?
