Sums them up perfectly

As was said when they went there - they got away with a lot at Small Heath because the local press were in thrall to them fancy London folk, but a lot of national writers are 'Ammers and they're not 'Appy.

Ain't that the truth.

Martin Samuel is apoplectic with rage:

Avram Grant was hopeless but buck has to stop with Gold and Sullivan at West Ham

The Big Sam -

Not sure I could live in London. So much access to disease-ridden whores would worry me. My cock would be weeping like an orphan in no time.

I can reveal, however, that I did meet David Gold recently at his flat.

We didn't talk specifics. Just general football philosophies & ambitions. Then we watched two lesbians suck jelly out of their arseholes.

I showed him my thoughts on formations and tactics, using a perspex table with a big-titted blonde writhing underneath it & a bag of dildos.

Goldy seems like a good fella, though. Surprisingly sensitive about the situation in Syria. Then he joked about me becoming West Ham boss.

David Sullivan popped round at the end of the meeting. Strange man, in many ways. He's a lot more hardcore than Gold, for a start.

He had spunk all over his weird Communist hat and kept sniffing his fingers and muttering "she'll do for you, Sully. She'll do for you".

[DrGonzo]

Stupid feckers shouldn't have been so reactionary and sacked the dressing rooms favourite Zola last year, they are getting exactly what they deserve.  LOLZ to use the kids phrase, or ROFLMAO.  ROXOR!!

[sendô WHU]

Grant was a terrible manager and had to go. Aside from the fact that he is the most uninspiring man in the history of the world, or the fact that his tactical decisions were often completely baffling, he ultimately relegated us and had to go. The alternative was doing what we did with Roeder in 2003 and keeping him until we lost to Rotherham.

Still, Gold and Sullivan treated him badly. They should never have given the man a 4 year contract, which might have enabled them to sack him after the 5-0 humiliation at Newcastle in November instead of waiting to invoke the relegation clause that it now seems clear is in his contract.

As for replacements, I can't see us getting any of the names being bandied about by the press. O'Neill left you lot because of lack of cash to spend (apparently), so why would he come to us?

[Small Rodent]

All Gold and Sullivan want is the new stadium, so they can sell the old one and make millions from property development for their own pockets. Once done, they'll look for another owner for the club.

Relegation clause ?!  They think of everything dont they or is this a standard clause in a lot of contracts ?

We had money (see Darren Bent signing), but they didn't trust him with it.  He left because he is a small minded old fashioned arse and he wont go to you as he wont work for boards like Gold and Sullivan in a million years.

[Mazrim]

I'm sorry about what's happened Sendo. For your sake at least and all the decent Hammers fans.
There's going to be a lot of vitriol aimed at the Triumverate of smut over the coming months. You just have to hope they get the club back in shape to sell and then somehow be more selective with who they sell it to when they move on (and they will). Not a Chinese gobshite hairdresser pretending to be loaded for instance.

It's easy to say with hindsight but moving from Blues, when their council built super stadium failed to appear after years of trying, to go to a club and their first job was to announce that moving to a new stadium was their goal was spooky.  It's like they hadn't left the Blues.

LIke you say, it's their modus operandi and I can't help wondering why and what's in it for them?

[Mazrim]

For the Olympic Stadium to be used as a silo to bring Satan into the world of course.

[RunRickyRun]

James Lawton's open letter to Sullivan

They've done that many cringeworthy things that I had forgotten about pornodwarf's open letter last year.

Mac's said as much as i wanted to say really. I can't help thinking that they knew there was a brand spanking new free stadium heading West Ham's way before they packed their bags at Blues.

Quite possibly the truest thing the Mirror has ever printed. An excellent article.

[Brian Taylor]

London Evening Standard claim MON is the prime candidate for new WHU Manager. Di Canio also a contender.

[KevinGage]

Prime candidate according to some at WHU maybe. Probably not according to MON.

That said, he must be concerned at the lack of interest in him since he's been out of the game. Sooner or later he might have to gamble on a Championship side.
