Will be interesting to see how much he will have to play with, I'd be surprised if it's over 30m
I honestly believe if they’d been a bit more realistic they'd get more respect from the fans and less hassle.
Trouble is they were blinded by the need to sell 57k seats at all costs.....otherwise immediately the move is questioned, they’ve not held up their end of the bargain though, where is the 40m a season net spend, add to that wasting untold and taking their interest while not doing enough in the last 4 Windows, you reap what you sow
Either way they fell well short
NO YOU WEREN’T!!!
Correct we only made £1.5m extra through match receipts.
It’s not difficult to figure out where they got the £10m-£12m figure.
A very crude calculation would be:
An extra 26,000 people (34k to 60k) at an average cost of £400+ per season ticket. The cost of running the stadium for West Ham would be covered by the match day food, etc.
Obviously, with all the discounting, we haven’t seen the increase in the match receipts we want to see. But this is a 99 year lease. Over time, I’m expecting the ‘moving stadium’ discounts to be phased out (while keeping the standard ‘over 65s’ and ‘under 12s’ discounts).
I think over time and with improved performances from the team taking us nearer to the level we’d like us to be at, prices will be hiked and discounts removed.
I suppose she is wrong on 2 counts then ;whistle
Possibly not but it depends if you have a large enough group pf players to try to sign from surely a few must come off? We don't appear to do that. ;ok
Agree Moyes should be given another season to stamp his authority on the club, too often it is about muppets like Sullivan who is at both a muppet and an embarrassment to our club.
If the key to attracting top class players was a big stadium then Queen's Park would be the most successful club in Scottish football history and Charlton Athletic would have been a top flight club up until 1985
If he stays tbh I'll be gutted, even tho I will give the team and him
My support while he is here.. when he was mentioned before joining I thought it was really a sick joke.
While he has done sort of ok but certainly no more , we are still in a relegation battle & he IMO is not the person to be our manager next season, regardless of our league we in.
It'll be a thanks & cheers for me
We limply went out of the carabao cup
We were humbled in the FA cup
The defefensive record since he joined is not a lot better than slav’s
His win percentage is in the 20s and lower than both Macari and grant
I’m struggling to see a compelling case for keeping him beyond this season
Wigan also humbled Bournemouth and Manchester City with Aguero in the starting XI
But then I think about January and, IMO, how dreadful our transfer window was. If Mario and Hugill were his signings and they were all he thought was required, then I’d have to question his judgement. Mario has been very beige, and Hugill has played, what, twelve minutes of competitive football? Hardly a ringing endorsement of his scouting abilities.
But then I wonder whether these were ‘board’ signings (the very fact that Hugill has played so little is steering me towards this view), which then makes me question Moyes’ ability to fight his corner and demand more. Maybe with a permanent contract he will. But then again, maybe he is just the kind of ‘yes man’ that some suggest Sully wants.
Following the Saints and Chelsea games I was happy for Moyes to be given a longer contract. After Stoke I wasn’t sure. After Arsenal I’m almost too fed up to care.
I see a lot of names being bandied about on social media as preferred managers; Benitez (70% of Ex’s followers have voted for him in a Twitter poll), and I’ve seen Howe, Dyche, Wenger, Wagner, Jokanovic, Silva, Rodgers and Pellegrini all mentioned. Problem being, how many would give up their current jobs for West Ham? And of those not working right now, how many would actually want the job given our form over the last couple of seasons and the negativity surrounding the club?
I think he’ll stay. Would I be happy with that? Probably not, as it stands. But who knows, given a competitive budget and a chance to build his own squad, maybe we’ll see an upturn in performances and results and it’ll prove to be a good appointment.
To prove his worth... & simply At best IMO The jury is still well out...
