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.
he showed an utter contempt for our club.
;lol
There can be no doubt that it was a complete and utter embarrassment.
But then we're all hoping that the Sunderland time was a big blip in his career...
Yep, chips on both shoulders.
OK. Fixed it for ya. ;biggrin
To be fair saying they were in a relegation fight after 2 games it not the greatest form of player motivation...
Just hope he comes across positive, not dour...
Also a more trendier suit than the one he adorned for the club website... ;ok ;run
“I hope West Ham fans get behind him, because their support will certainly give him a greater chance of success,” says Ray.
“I think any genuine West Ham fan will want the new manager to do well. Because it’s not about personal opinions or individuals, it’s about the good of the club and
“As a professional footballer, nothing beats confidence. If you walk out on the pitch and feel that spirit, that togetherness and that belief, then it can make such a huge difference.
“The fans in the stadium must understand how big a part they can play in helping the team. I just urge all West Ham fans – whatever your personal opinions about individuals or decisions – to get behind the manager and the team when they step out on the pitch, because we all want the same thing – for West Ham to be successful.”

West Ham fans are hard but it works both ways, if he gives everything and ensures the players do then he wont be short of support, but if nothing changes he may have the shortest lived honeymoon period in the history of time.
You'd have thought it would be better and more progressive to bring the younger players through and sell off those (who would probably bring in more money and are on higher wages) more senior players who they are replacing/no longer needed - long term planning and all that, surely the board and owners must be thinking in that direction?
I think that is just an excuse to cover the awful attitude of most players. We have had quite few managers Zola, Grant , Allardyce etc. In recent times and performances were as poor then on the whole as now. I would guess that Payet could also see what was happening and left.
I think the troubles at this club stem from the players poor attitude on and off the pitch as much as the managers being poor .
That will be Mr Moyes real challenge. Instilling a proper work and team ethic into our players.
I hope he can do it and wish him luck.
I think that was the point being made earlier in the thread. The argument presented by the Mirror (that has no quotes, not even a "source close to") doesn't really seem to stack up. Selling Oxford, Cullen, Martinez, Burke, Rice would probably get us enough to sign William Carvalho's arm -though , admittedly, this may be an improvement on our defensive midfield options.
