Re: What Do We Want The Club To Be

But don't you think that the value of the club has already peaked? I would suggest that it's worth less now than it was two months ago. We now have unhappy fans, about to witness a half-empty for the first time, issues with the people who own the stadium and the surrounding shopping center and also...

What Do We Want The Club To Be

A simple question really which I'm prompted to ask by some of the threads and comments I've seen here. So just for a bit of fun.

Re: Thomas Cook & WHUFC

You're right about that mate but I don't remember too many people griping about the Icelandic ownership when they were splashing the cash like it was going out of fashion. I agree Eggert Magnusson was a total prick and you have to blame Gudmundsson, our owner, for appointing him to that position bu...

Re: should we send more youth players out on loan? Also, just how important is the club they go to?

When I say "B teams" Jay I mean instead of playing in the development league, or whatever name they give it, I'd like to see them playing in a proper league against proper teams. It happens in Spain and, I think Germany still do it as well. When Guardiola started his managerial career he ...

Re: should we send more youth players out on loan? Also, just how important is the club they go to?

I would love to see "B" teams playing in proper league matches as is the case in Spain and I believe still in Germany. Maybe they could start off in the Conference or whatever it's called these days and basically find their level. That system would allow the parent club to continue to pro...

Re: Brady out campaign.

I can't stand Brady, I seriously hate her with a passion, mainly because she's been the driving force behind the move to the OS and has spoken a load of old bollocks and lies along the way and down talking any west ham fan that felt different about the move. However, no one can deny that the deal s...

Re: Where has it all gone wrong?

I've seen a lot of posts including the words "not proven in the Prem" or "not used to the Prem" etc. This to me is a bit irrelevant as Payet, Sakho, Lanzini, Antonio, Ogbonna to name just a few were not proven in the Prem but 99 times out of 100 they've been great. That is a ver...
