sullivan got pellegrini in off his own accord not due to fans demanding the move - bit different to the point you're making Id also argue the suggestions fans want or suggested are much younger and adaptable than pellegrini was Not sure that’s true, Sullivan shat himself with the Burnley pitch inva...

The Board, Sullivan, would never remove a manager because of "haters" in the fan base. Yeah many fans don't enjoy the football anymore but its not like we're 18th in the table and entire stadium is screaming for change. Moyes has done everything asked of him and more. He'll be a legend he...

people confuse sullivan for a standard issue wealth extracting embezzler which to me is a bit of an oversimplification. seems to me he's a capricious sort and likely a narcassist. i imagine he flits between dreaming of a statue of himself outside the plastic monstrosity we call a stadium, then cons...

Yes mate I posted an article from a newspaper (can’t remember which one) at the time

Bonkers isn’t it that someone of that age with those business interests hadn’t organised a will

He couldn't even buy a player without getting vetoed by Sullivan and his pet agents yet people think he's going to decide who's the next manager. Get real. I find it incredible that after more than a decade of watching Sullivan as our chairman people think he’s suddenly going to totally change and ...

Total sell outs mate

I don't know why people think the players dislike Moyes. I think it has been very obvious over the years that they don't just respect him, they like him. Not every single one of them, of course. But the vast majority and the collective have. It's the fans that don't. At its worse it’s a strategy to...

Potters next gig may well depend on the terms of his severance from Chelsea. From memory they have always had a clause that if its another Premiership team then they can stop paying the dosh, don't think it counted if it was a club outside of the premier league (I might be wrong). My personal view i...

Really expect better from you mate.

If that’s how you’ve taken it Bob that’s on you

It comes from posting on here for over 20 years and seeing the same thing play out from the same players pretty much every time

Yeah but there is a reason 99% of clubs, owners, pundits, journos, players, fans etc would choose De Zerbi over Moyes. And its not because 99% are all wrong and some West Ham fans are right. Moyes has done wonders but De Zerbi is clearly a better coach and tactician, hence everyone in football laud...

Who ever comes in has one hell of a rebuild job on their hands. You can here it now If the new guy doesn't hit the ground running there will be a lot of "told you so's" flying about. No wonder when you lose half the playing squad. In my experience on here, id say its much more likely that...

If true what a very sad state of affairs

My heart bleeds for Eddy and Newcastle……..not

Haha love it. Got to say I found the spuds and ange as spuds manager love in by a few on here earlier in the season nauseating

It’s sullivans standard operating model pull the funding from his current manager leaving him under resourced and coping it from the fan base and then give the new bloke a decent war chest

As always with Sully rinse and repeat

yeah me too

Nope. Combined wage bill and player amortisation last few seasons has been 11th/12th. Income has been 7th/8th but not what’s been provided to the manger You’d need to ask Sully why the disparity not Moyes and that is fact before anyone quotes some clickbait sites. Per published accounts, see my thr...

put it this way, if anyone ever wants to dig it out, there would be some pretty red faces on the views of the player and the talent that could have been had out of Scotland... saying that it was a long time ago and I have trouble remembering what I ate yesterday

For me there is literally no point in using league position as a metric until the season is finished. Very true that, I think its often a counter argument to the "we should / could be 12th if teams win their games or other teams had scored their chances" yada yada, countered by the "...

Do you not remember the stuff on here about VVD when Southampton went in for him
