It was a condition of the lease agreement

The school on the doorstep, Bobby Moore Academy, reached out to the club hierarchy directly during covid for help with getting laptops to vulnerable children, and help with getting some of these poor kids fed who would usually only get a decent meal at school. WHU didn’t do a ****ing thing to help

They didn’t even give one single ticket to a game to any child. The LLDC stepped in and made sure students could get tickets

All 3, GSB, utter SCUM

Same. :newthumb:

Dyche gives them at least a fighting chance. Big gamble for Dyche though, equally.

Feel like Dyche will keep them up.

This is bad bad news for us.

If West Ham gets relegated then it's because we're ****, not because of other clubs managers or results IMO

I think Southampton, Leeds and Bournemouth are favourites for the drop.

Equally, Dyche hasn't come in as a fire fighter before, he did a great job at Burnley but he was there for a long time.

Leicester and West Ham both have very experienced and talented managers who should have more than enough to dig out of it.

Dyche will keep them up.

It will make the Allardyce era seem like Barcelona in comparison, but it will be sufficiently effective to save them from the drop.

For the umpteenth time, he's not going anywhere. Come what may.
I really don't know where all that nonsense about him going to Everton was coming from.
Oh wait, yes it was on here, propagated mainly by DM's most fervent admirer. :rofl:

Bielsa saying no to taking the Everton job now, but saying he'd take the kids for 6 months and take over in the summer is brilliant.

I would love to have the mad man here for 2-3 years before he burnt out....

Obviously, but only got themselves to blame to be down there. Play better and you don't have to worry about others

I agree, and good on him. Wants to put a structure in place, even though that flies completely in the face of everything we know about football in the Sky era.

Everton don't deserve him. Hope they go down in chaos.

Moyes is stood there like a roman emperor at the Coloseum; sending the young careers to their deaths for his own enjoyment. Because like we all know, the manager of the first team is personally handling the academy and their contracts.

Quite a few on here seem to think we are not even involved in a relegation battle.Just because we beat a very poor Everton side that is on it's knees,we are going to be fine and we have nothing to worry about..

For some of the exceptional talent we have,we are producing complete boring drivel that is totally unacceptable to me.We are all entitled to an opinion and rightly so,but for the life of me,I cannot understand why some posters are happy for him to continue.Yes I know the owners are tossers,but his got enough talent there for us to be doing better.One thing is missing,how slow and ponderous are we going forward has a team.We lack pace and have lacked it since Lingard left and Antonio has aged.The other week,we started nearly the same team has in lockdown in 2020.Moyes lacks the vision for me to take us forward,even if we do survive.The sooner Moyes and the current board departs,the better.

RANT OVER.
