They've funded the purchase of an alright squad, got a manager in with a reasonable track record at their level, got them playing in a massive stadium to very little cost to the club. Basically seems like the board have played an absolute blinder tbf. Their team is getting worse year by year They've moved from their perfectly good stadium to an unsuitable football venue on the promise it would generate the extra revenue to take them to the next level, when in reality they have to sell tickets so cheap to fill it that they're no better off financially than they would have been (apart from the owners pocketing the money from the sale of Upton Park). They've got every reason to be pissed at Gold, Sullivan and Brady. Today won't help much though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can bet that the West Ham fans wouldn’t be protesting about the suitability of the ground or the owners if they were 5th in the league and winning games 3-0. It starts and ends in their fans’ delusion that they are a big club who should be winning games in style near the top of the league, when the reality is that they pay the likes of Andy Carroll tens of thousands a week, they sack their manager every five minutes and they are miles behind the likes of us, Burnley and Watford, or even Bournemouth and Brighton.

Finnegan Posted 10 March 2018 Share Posted 10 March 2018 Sorry Jurgen, everyone doesn't agree that's a penalty. Its not a penalty in the slightest. Mane is never in possession of the ball, Fellaini gets himself between Mane and the ball well, he's got every right to be heading towards the ball, their legs just tangle. It's not like Mane is dribbling with the ball and Fellaini trips him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pSinatra Posted 10 March 2018 Share Posted 10 March 2018 Looked like a foul on Fellaini if anything. He was running towards the ball, was going to get to the ball until Mane stuck his foot out & legged him up.

They wouldn't give a shit if it was going well on the pitch. But that's not really the owners fault. They've got a decent side there, I mean Joao Mario the most recent singing is a cracking player.

I guess a stadium move from a popular old school one, to a souless bowl not designed for football that the fans never wanted is going to affect moral. The dildo pedalling owners won't help the fans mood atm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do their fans hate the owners anyway? Not condoning their behaviour but West Ham fans have every right to be upset at their owners. Their supporters had to give up their beloved home ground for a stadium designed for Athletics and devoid of any atmosphere. They were promised that the stadium move was to help them finance a bigger push so they could compete for European places, but this has failed to materialise. Hence fans think this is a cash grab that has left them in the dumpster. The overwhelming majority of West Ham fans did not want to move from the Boelyn. Put it this way, imagine if our owners had got rid of Filbert Street then moved us into the middle of nowhere and installed David Moyes as manager! We'd all be irate!

The way they just reacted you'd think the owners had some all their players, driven the club in to bankruptcy, got them relegated through the divisions and made a personal profit for themselves in the process. Where as what's actually happened is they got the club a bigger, major stadium for peanuts, made some shrewd additions to the squad, hired a manager with loads of top flight experience and, uh, well.
