Isn't that a kind of a derby? How big is it? They may not be as "up" for it in other games. Newcastle game in comparison they looked disinterested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8763729/West-Ham-woe-owner-David-Sullivan-says-guarantee-making-new-signings.html#reader-comments Quote West Ham supporters were left alarmed on Wednesday after co-owner David Sullivan warned that the club aren't guaranteed to make any new signings. The Hammers have endured a summer of discontent and the pressure has intensified once again on the owners after seeing no fresh faces walk through the door, while they sold highly-rated Grady Diangana to West Brom for £20million. Fans have been furious with the direction West Ham are going in - some supporters have supported the GSB (Gold, Sullivan, Brady) Out campaign, with a small group of protestors unfurling anti-ownership banners outside the ground before kick-off against Newcastle on the opening day of the season, and again outside the Emirates Stadium last Saturday. And on Wednesday, Sullivan played down expectations before the summer window closes by telling talkSPORT that the transfer market leaves him 'depressed' while claiming he can't bring in the players that manager David Moyes is looking for. The Hammers have only signed Tomas Soucek, who originally joined on loan in January, on a permanent deal, while youngster Ossama Ashley was picked up on a free transfer after leaving AFC Wimbledon. Sullivan revealed: 'It's the manager's decision. He doesn't want to bring in players who are just numbers, just squad players. He wants to bring players in who will improve the team. 'We have a number of bids in for a number of players, but teams don't want to lose them; these are key players at decent sized clubs, outside the UK. They don't want to lose them so whether we get any of these players I do not know.'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted September 23, 2020 Moderator Share Posted September 23, 2020 It is a real house of cards. The owners have loaned money to the club and unlike the vast majority of owners they are apparently charging interest, I recently saw a figure of £17m reported. So you can bet a large amount of their currently reduced income is servicing the debt to the owners. If they go down it could be meltdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted September 23, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Going down sooner or later. Couldn't wish it on a nicer set of owners, and their stadium deal is a pisstake. Edited September 23, 2020 by fightoffyour 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 They paid £45m for Haller, who scored a grand total of 7 goals in 35 games (Wesley by contrast scored 6 in 22 for us). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Has been suggestions that FIFA might give them a transfer ban as didnt pay Frankfurt for Haller, they only really signed a loan signing from last season.

VillaChris Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Looking at the highlights and perhaps it's a different camera angle playing tricks but the stands look closer to the pitch now? Fans been calling for that ever since they moved in so typical they've done that with no fans back in for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Moral must be in the toilet there. An unhappy dressing room means a struggling team no matter who they have on paper. They narrowly avoided the drop last season, I think this could be the season they fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
