Not any more.They are utterly taking the piss now.Can’t believe anything they say, their activities in the transfer market alone make us a laughing stock.
I’ve had enough of them, and everything they do in dragging our name and once admired club down into the gutter.
Yes you were which is why i was interested to hear your opinion. Outsider looking in i dont think theyve ever had the interest of the club at heart.

I can see why the transfer window would have been the final straw.

I know you dont want to hear it from a Spurs fan but i do feel for you guys.

There maybe, none have the injury issues that we have & all have invested in players recently.

Yes there's a march, I believe it's in March wink , sentiment rapidly turning against them - although don't think it was ever that great in the first place.
I thought you had a few coming back like Fonte? thought i saw him on the bench? Swansea have lost Fer and bony for the season this weekend

For me the problem is even if they come back how long do they stay fit for? We are assuming they all come back and play out the season. Fonte has been long term injured and wont be back up to full speed for a few weeks yet and to be honest is he any better than Collins/Ogbonna/Rice, maybe, but on other days he certainly isnt.

The centre of the park has been a massive problem for some time now, how it has gone unaddressed is just nothing short of vandalism of the club. Apparently we had a sniff around a few players on the 31st of Jan but really, no club is selling up their top players last minute without being able to replace them.

Where did you hear that ?
ExWHUEmployee on twitter. Tends to do well at predicting news that comes through the club.

This. Thought AC was well known, although kept quiet by Club (unsurprisingly).

Convenient then that we sold them a striker last week...

AC can be a match winner on his day, unfortunately those days come about every 3-4 months when he gets in a couple of games between injuries. Really astonishing they havent tried to offload him at the first opportunity. If the Chelsea rumours were true I would have taken the first offer to come over and taxi'ed over to West London to sign the deal within 30 mins of the offer arriving!

David Sullivan said on Talk Sport the WH offered £25million for Joe Allen in the transfer window.

Oh well, that’s ok then. frown

The March march seems to be gathering a bit of momentum - think it was even mentioned on MOTD?

I reckon the press are slowly coming to realise what an unlikeable trio GSB really are and how they’ve hoodwinked the fans about all number of things.

That said, I’m not sure that David Gold is completely in control of all his faculties so I’m kind of prepared to cut him a bit of slack. As for the other two, I don’t think we’ve heard anything from her Ladyship for a while now - certainly not about the ‘most successful stadium migration ever’ and Sullivan is just a manipulating Spiv IMO. He is an embarrassment every time he pipes up - it’s no wonder there are rumours that no team wants to do business with us (unless we are selling them one of our players that isn't actually injured).

Obiang story across many media channels now.

I wanted to give the board the benefit of the doubt as they are genuinely West Ham fans (we are told) but their behaviour is just appalling and its leaving the club in serious dire straits. No doubt if the going got tough they would clear off at the fist opportunity and make as much money on the sale as possible.

I heard the same & thought the same - given the fallout from the Arnie sale he could've at least made-up a different Club for his pretend bids.

Carroll being unavailable for long periods is the standard position. Unless advised otherwise. Which it rarely is. If ever. Meh.

laugh yes probably the last thing you needed.

We are all football fans first at the end of the day, to see a club being effectively asset striped by the owners while they lie continually to their supporters is something that could happen to any of our clubs if we are unlucky enough. Id turn up to the march if i wasn't afraid of being beaten up laugh
