That’ll be popular (I’ve not read this article yet but I’m sure it’s garbage with no quotes or anything)
And I'd doubt that even our board would consider selling any of what is widely considered the best group of youth players that we've seen for a long time.
I do think Moyes will be given funds to strengthen in Jan
My own opinion is that the daves may have held back a bit in the summer as they didn’t have full trust in Slavs judgment when it came to transfers. Which is why they should have just parted with him then rather than splurging on the likes of Arny at Slavs request.
“He did not make this about money”
= he was the cheapest option
Desperate to prove a point brings back memories of Mido and his £1k a week deal.
I’m hoping this time round the gamble (which even sully acknowledges it is per his quotes in the Sun) pays off.
If Moyes keeps us up then arguably he was the right choice. The bigger challenge, if we do survive, is what we do in May.
is causing a fair bit of noise
by joining West Ham
There's now many a pram
which no longer holds any toys!
;scarf
Yes indeed - if we finish 16th, 3 points above the drop zone does he get kept on?? ;hmm
Allegedly.
Is top 10 a realistic target? I would say Sully seems to think so given his comments about believing we have the players that can achieve our original goal.
For me, a lot will depend on the performances. If we play really well over the next months but finish 15th, that may be enough to convince me that he deserves a longer contract ;hmm
The players who went on loan to other clubs basically said that our training was always light as well as some of the first teamers
Not to mention the complete lack of intensity and fitness in our actual performances (can you recall anytime we performed for 90 minutes?)
As lukerz (I think) said the images of training always looked like they were just having some fun and doing shooting drills whereas Moyes first training session looked to be more intense and performing drills
It may be that Moyes, or whoever takes over in the summer, have a more proactive approach in playing the youth and the likes of Oxford, Rice, Martinez and Holland will get more of a chance.
We're only 6 points off 10th, and tbh, from what I've seen so far this season, there aren't any teams between us and 7th that we shouldn't be able to match, IF Moyes gets us going.
(Yes, it's a big IF...)
Sorry, but that doesn't make any sense at all.
Under the current chairmen the club committed to the investment to qualify us for Category 1 academy status.
We spend millions on the Academy each year, in the hope of bringing through players.
What possible financial advantage could there be to spending all that money, and then not playing players who were good enough?
1. Sullivan said Leon osman said he was the best manager he worked for ( who) lol
2. And David Kidd says any hammers who wanted Bilic out should have been careful what they wished for cus his team at Sunderland emptied the ground far quicker than Bilic did in London.
