;lol Good luck with that.
I'll be honest, I'm surprised.
But I'm glad they've said it. Six points more, at any cost, should see us safe. Then we can forget this horror show of a season and (cautiously) look forward to the next one.
Another horror show v arsenal and a failure v Swansea and he's gone.
Laughable that this is the same website that only a short while ago was publishing rumours about who we were targeting to replace him.
Information on same website, but hardly the same thing.
The ridiculous 'Mediawatch' simply repeats what is in the media; no different to what people do on here.
The statement from the board seems pretty unequivocal to me, and I'm glad they've done it.
Not sure what your point is.
We don't let users tell other users they are talking rubbish (even if that is what they think) whilst off the site is fair game.
Unless you can point to instances where MrsG or NWC expressed those views?
If you don't think it is rubbish, that is your opinion.
It still doesn't explain your comment. Other users on here think it is rubbish. That is their opinion.
The only reason they have put this out imo is to try and get the players and coaching staff to focus and get us the 3-5 points to get through this season
We have a media strategy? ;nonono
Each to their own.
I'd have assumed his position was under threat if they hadn't made a statement.
However, if it claims our owners don't treat our managers with respect, I think that is rubbish.
And I don't think our transfer policy was dire at all.
The outcomes have clearly been, in general, far less successful than we would have hoped, but that is often the luck of the draw, and doesn't imo, reflect a dire policy.
But you are free to disagree, and clearly do.
To the extent that opinions expressed by a poster on another forum are shared by, and have been expressed by, someone on here... I'd be more polite in indicating I disagreed.
I'm not going to go back through all my posts since last summer. But I guarantee that if anyone said we let Payet down through our transfer policy I would have indicated that I disagreed, either by posting such or clicking agree on someone else who did.
I can only recall horsham saying the board have a habit of undermining managers. And you'll notice that I responded, and disagreed. It's on the previous page of this thread. ;ok
Finally, my 'rubbish' was directed not only at the opinions expressed, but at the false facts, the poor argument, assertions without evidence, misrepresentations and lies.
I don't really get what the point of your comment was.
;biggrin
Is there any need for that type of comment?
Nobody has said any such thing.
You harp on about this 'tradition' - but again, no one has said anything like that.
What I have said, and seen similar comments from others, is that we are, de facto, a mid-table club, and that to go beyond that is an ambitious target which certainly won't be achieved in one or two seasons, if at all.
The first step to that dream, imo, is to become an Everton type club who are pretty much nailed on top 10-8 most seasons.
I don't think that will happen if we sack managers each time we have a poor run.
You can worry about what you like, and dream about whatever takes your fancy.
Just don't assume that everyone will agree with you if you express those worries or dreams.
I'll stop there but there is plenty more rubbish in that article.
I like you you have spent far too many weekends wondering why I put myself through the pain. I guess that short of a lobotomy I'm stuck with it.
Like you I don't believe it is inevitably the lot of a West Ham fan to be supporting a mid-table (or worse a yo-yo) team with the fanbase we have but......I will patiently await the glorious day in the years remaining to me. Many Saturdays (and some week days) I will end up miserable for a few hours but then hope builds again and sometimes (a lot of times last season) my faith will reap rewards. Those times make up for the miserable times.
Keep the faith and again I apologise if you thought I was getting at you, just annoyed by that demoralising article which I didn't need at the time I wrote my earlier message.
I'd say he was guessing.
Make no mistake they've not helped with their "must win" comments and "not good enough" but they've always done that so we should be used to it after 7 years......
Get the 4-6 point required and start a fresh in the summer.
