DLH

He’s out of touch and out of his depth. Should have been sacked along time ago. He hasn’t even got the decency to walk away.

I thought it was September the 1st, but quite clearly it must be December the 25th

Have you forgotten we’re playing today?

Everyone stay calm. Keep quiet. We don’t want the West Ham board to know they’re making a huge mistake.

Don’t hate it, don’t love it but if it lessens the burden on Bristric and means less playing time for BDCR upfront, then it’s probably an ok short term solution.

Hamza goes for nothing (contract up at the end of the season anyway). Him off the wage bill allows someone more suitable to come in in the 6 position, I assume. Still think we try and get decent fees for players with more than a year to run on their contracts.

Poor attitude and limited ability. Hardly surprising our fans think he’s terrible. Has he done anything of note here to suggest we’re making a mistake by letting him go?

Golding was signed to get around PSR. We needed £30 million for KDH. Chelsea only prepared to pay that, if we paid £5 million for Golding. Seen him play once for the under 21’s. He was fine but didn’t standout as anything special. Certainly not a £5 million player.

This and it probably helps them commercially with the Australian market.

I hadn’t realised that Mukasa was originally plucked from West Ham’s academy by Man. City. Feels awkward for Mukasa and West Ham

I don’t think any player trading can take place whilst the club is being bought as this affects the valuation, so I wonder if any serious potential investors are waiting for the transfer window to close, then negotiate a deal?

Go back to white shorts for future home kits

Journalists suggesting he’ll receive a ban ranging from 6 to 18 months for his part in Spygate. l doubt he’d fancy working in this country again, even if it was possible.

It did appear to end abruptly. Think the whole podcast was an hour and 7 minutes.

Jordan of BSLB was on the latest fan debate podcast. The whole podcast is worth a listen, but you can hear Jord give his opinion about Leicester on, roughly, the final 10minutes of the pod. You could feel the awkwardness from Conor Coady (who was also on the show). Jord gave a good account of our problems, in a limited amount of time given to him. It all helps highlight who the culprits are and who’s to blame for overseeing our demise.

According to Google, it’s Lookman from Charlton to Everton for £11m

Ideally, we have someone in place by the start of June. If we want to hit the ground running and change the culture within the club, we need a new manager in place, at the earliest opportunity. The longer it drags, the worse the atmosphere deepens at the club for the players and the fan base. Do I have any faith in this happening? Not really, unfortunately.

A fish rots from the head down. Players don’t get a free pass, but our problems stem from the lack of leadership at the very top of the club.

Chap near me said it doesn’t help to boo him when he missed the penalty. Whilst he is right. It’s also not helpful starting him and playing him for 70+ minutes every week! Had enough of him and his footballing ‘ability’

This is a big concern for me. We haven’t got the calibre of players to implement that style (and we’re not going to be able to afford/attract those players either). Hire a pragmatic coach who can make us solid at the back, likes to attack quickly and favours youth. At the very least, we all need a team and style that we can get behind as a fan base.

If this signing was made circa 2013, we’d all be quietly optimistic. Steve Walsh had an eye for unearthing hidden gems and Pearson wouldn’t accept anyone that wasn’t going to give 100% for the shirt. Unfortunately, it’s circus 2026, where Martyn Glover hasn’t had a single hit in the January window (and a poor track record in general) and Cifuentes hasn’t got a single player, already at the club, playing better than RvN, Cooper, Maresca or Rodgers. This transfer is hope rather than expectation and that is the theme with anything to do with our club now.

Whilst I’m not excited about the signing, for my own sanity, not watching 90 minutes of Jordan Ayew is definitely a plus.

Thank you. We’ll take a look.

Our daughter suffered an horrendous knee injury a couple of years ago, playing hockey. Her kneecap pulled her away with her ligaments, resulting in two surgical procedures. During rehab, she then suffered an ACL tear. Resulting in more surgery. She was on the England pathway but has had her dream of making it as a pro taken away. In fact, she isn’t playing any sport at the moment. We, as a family, went last night, hoping to inspire her not to give up on her recovery. Hearing someone else’s story that she feels connected too, might provide the nudge she needs. Last night won’t be for everyone, but why mock? The club deserve a lot of criticism (on and off the field) but this was a positive thing it was doing within its community.
