Was it a straight swap for Sammy Lee ? Or has that rumour gone now ?

Saw this as well..........

Reserve team boss Steve Lomas and first team coach Kevin Keen have parted company with West Ham United.

Former midfielder Lomas was hired as reserve team boss on a temporary contract in February following the departure of Alex Dyer to Charlton a month earlier.

It is understood that the 37-year-old Irishman has not been offered an extention to that contract, which expired at the end of last season.

With West Ham relegated to the Championship - and no equivalent of the Barclays Premier Reserve League at lower levels - the reserve/development team will only play friendlies next term - negating the need for a full-time manager.

Meanwhile Keen is rumoured to be set to join Kenny Dalglish's coaching team at Liverpool after losing out on the manager's job to Sam Allardyce.

The 44-year-old - who has been employed in youth, reserve and first team coaching roles since returning to West Ham in 2002 - announced he would be entering the race to replace Avram Grant on the final day of last season.

However having failed to land the position he desperately craved, Keen has decided to seek employment elsewhere.

Both Lomas and Keen had left the club prior to last Friday, hence their omission from Chadwell Heath when the squad returned for pre-season training.

The club are expected to confirm their departures shortly

Worrying that the reserves dont have a league to play in next season. Hoping we send a lot of the youngsters out on loan rather than run the risk of them losing interest with no reserve team to play in regularly.

didnt know that, how the hell are players to improve if that is the set up outside the prem

Seeing as Keen was first team coach for two of the worst seasons in living memory I will not miss his input

If Sammy Lee is coming to us in the opposite direction it may wank out well. After all he was with FSA for 5 successful years at Bolton.

Good coach, shit manager. Just like Brian Kidd

x2 agree with Tony, nice bloke but was not that good a coach or we may have done a bit better than we have.
