I Can’t find a lot of fault with the owners for being a pretty stable mid table team. I think the biggest miss they had was not investing in a top striker in the first Payet Season Jan window.
They literally blew up our home and filmed it for profit. I mean they actually exploded it and got Dave 'The Animal' Bautista to jump up and down while it was happening. I mean, a fitting end to the home of England's only World Cup Winning Captain and renowned for it's 'class'.
They then had the gall to claim the 'best stadium migration of all time' whilst there weren't even any shelves to put your beer on, and whilst David Gold was pretending that the seats which were now 350 yards away from the pitch were actually no further away than they were at the Boleyn Ground, despite the fact that the pitch and running track at the LS is actually bigger than the Boleyn ever was anyway.
They have told numerous lies about what fans have done, they have cancelled season tickets for countless former pros and family, they've sacked anyone that they could that might save them a couple of quid, they've gone public with their PAID newspaper pieces where they have ALL slagged off our players, our fans, the opposition and our traditions, and through all of this, they have constantly pushed away fans, fanzines and supporter organisations who have the clubs best interests at heart. Choosing to only deal with their own hand-picked, arse-licking, sycophantic teams of yes-men and hired muscle. Every single penny that they have invested in the club they have charged interest on and every single time that anyone has suggested that they are doing a less than perfect job they have pointed the finger elsewhere.
I don't really care for football anymore, and West Ham as an organisation generally just makes me sad. My main reason for being on these pages is that I admire the views of those on here and I genuinely value their opinions on the World and on football. But objectively, from a non-biased opinion, our owners have taken a mediocre Premier League football team, and they have used it to make themselves even richer than they already were, whilst asset-stripping it, and rinsing it of all tradition and class that it once had. If you have any doubt about what they have done to West Ham, ask a Birmingham City fan what they think of them?
In terms of league placing, not much has changed in the time they've taken over. In every other single aspect of the club, aside from the name, and the kit, we are barely recognisable.
But you're right, aside from that, they've done a fair job.
