It's amazing how one player can have such an effect on the whole defence. Why bringing in Reina could be a masterstroke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Looking at their next 10 games I can't give them more than 8pts and that's being generous. That's wins at home vs Brighton and Southampton which I'm not even sure they'll manage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villaphan04 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Like I posted in the general PL thread... I think that their fanbase has turned on the ownership. Pretty much wanting relegation for your own club is a very radical idea. And if Moyes does get sacked again (who knows), who would they get in? Doubt Sam wants to go back considering some of the quotes that are out there surrounding his departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I hope you are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Sunday Supplement really put boot into them today. They've still got a temporary training ground apparently. And they don't own their stadium. And they've got porn barons running the show. Would really help us out if they could shit themselves over the next few months and get stuck to the bottom of the table. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post villa89 Posted January 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2020 West Ham Post £27m Loss Quote West Ham United say staying in the Premier League is "an absolute necessity" after posting financial losses of £27.26m. Despite spending more than £130m on transfers, and £214.4m in the last four years, they are only above the Premier League drop zone on goal difference. The accounts, for the year to 31 May 2019, show the backing the club gave to former manager Manuel Pellegrini. He was sacked in December and was replaced by David Moyes. "Retention of our status in 2019-20 season is an absolute necessity for the future wellbeing of the club," said West Ham, in their accounts. The club say there will be "serious financial consequences" should they be relegated into the Championship. ... I really hope they go down. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't go in to crazy amounts of depth on it but there was a figure of £2.1m being banded about, I think that was the monthly profit they were making at upton park, so to be better off now they would need to clear at least £5.1m a month (and then pay that rent) and basically they're not or they're only just doing it, so with that in mind giving up upton park and being gifted the stadium that none of them like is not a good deal for them, I haven't been myself but it does look like a shit stadium for football and I didn't see anything to suggest the club has addressed the issues from last year (where they made only a small section of STs a decent price and saw fans from all sections of UP suddenly sat together and not happy about it - anyone from the holte end whos sat next to someone from the trinity at Wembley will know what I mean) then they go a bit man utd, their owners take the cream out which the fans hate, especially when they were too tight to build their own stadium (references to spurs comes up a lot) or training ground but I completely agree on the playing staff side of it, they've spent big money badly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
