“Sightseeing” | Stunning Steidten claim following exit | OneFootball

Tim Steidten had no input in January transfers and was sightseeing for large parts, it has been claimed.

The former West Ham Technical Director was sacked from his position following the arrival of Graham Potter as Head Coach, who wanted Kyle Macaulay as his Head of Recruitment.

Journalist Alex Crook has spoken on the situation, claiming that there is a huge element of relief that Steidten has gone, with it stated that the German was sightseeing in London during the January transfer window.

“One of the first things that Graham Potter demanded when he came in was his own head of recruitment Kyle Macaulay from Chelsea,” Crook said on talkSPORT.

“It’s my understanding that Tim Steidten did not have any input in the January transfer window.

“That was all done by Potter and Macaulay, so his position was untenable really. It’s just been a case of agreeing some kind of severance package.

“Someone told me he had been sightseeing in London for the past two or three weeks! “I think there will be some relief all round there, they thank him for his recruitment efforts, but I think some of his purchases haven’t particularly worked out.”
