    Yeah, it was really frustrating the way the club couldn't wait to get rid of him.

    Speaking of finances, the club got hit with a £30k fine for its administrative faux pas

    Well that’s slashed this summer’s transfer kitty by 25% then

    A good review of the clubs finances
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Seems to saying the club is on a sound financial footing.

    So that's good news.

    Reports in the media today that Moyes will get 60m for the summer, let’s hope that’s after sales as I would think he will change this squad quite dramatically assuming he doesn’t relegate us
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    Yes he needs to make his own mark on things think Chico be one that goes ac as well to name but two
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    So Moyes is staying then?
  • billybondsbeardbillybondsbeard
    Rumours (I know !) that Becks is after him for MLS Miami...
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer

    I hope that rumour is wrong, in fact.......

    Dear Mr Beckham,

    Hands off Moyes......

    Could the board put a few quid of the profit into paying for some stewards and security staff who actually have a clue what they are doing, and manage to complete their tasks in a professional timely and seemly manner?

    Some would argue that the old stewards we had at the old place were fairly competent
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    This is what may happen when you're not in control.
  • Slaven_Cups_His_BeardSlaven_Cups_His_Beard
    Yep!

    I’ve seen posts how steward supervisors were treated when we left UP there’s your P45 thanks. So many avoidable basic mistakes. Pay 5m if it means we wouldn’t see the shambles that has gone on at the world class migration .

    That may very well be the case but unless you think the board should kidnap them and force them to work for us, I'm not sure what use the argument would be.

    Secondly, even if they did get all the old stewards to work for us, they wouldn't be enough, as we need many more now that we have a bigger crowd.

    Mrs Grey,

    Kidnapping would be too extreme and unnecessary IMHO ;cool

    Perhaps someone more informed can shed some light on this but apparently many stewards from Upton Park either wasn't asked to come over to Stratford or they wasnt allowrd to or something similar.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Well, I don't know if you would consider me more informed, but after reading up on it...

    the club has twice written to all former stewards who didn't apply to work at the new stadium, encouraging then to apply.

    In terms of 'not allowed to or something similar', the stewards at the new stadium have to (as a requirement of the job) either already hold or be working towards an appropriate qualification.

    Which the club have offered to pay for.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Yes, I had a vague memory of this, so was just checking if I was right or had made t up. KB indicated as much the recent letter but I'm sure that the offer to pay goes back further than recent events.
  • ClaretandBlueforLifeClaretandBlueforLife
    I’d like to add that at matches I have been to it’s not just the stewards who don’t seem to have a clue what they are doing the catering staff seem pretty clueless too. It’s not rocket science what they have to do on match day, but they just come across as not knowing what’s going on and seem to lack any sort of leadership.
    Senior management need to get a handle on the situation and quickly, surely this is some thing Brady and the board can sort out fairly easily?

    My understanding is that the stadium staff are not club employees, so not sure what they can do, apart from press the stadium management to try to improve things.
  • Pearces_Left_FootPearces_Left_Foot
    Catering and stewards are run by the stadium operators not West Ham so they have no control over how they are run . They can complain but not sure there is a lot else they can do
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    I think we may request a contribution for the likely forthcoming fine from E20 as stewarding is their responsibility.
