We all knew once D&D took over it was only a matter of time before Duxbury & Nani left the club. This has now happened & as David Sullivan has said with the transfer window now closed having brought in 3 strikers on deadline day, the main changes to the squad will happen in the summer. I am now able to concentrate on the financial side of reducing costs at the club. Further casualites on the medical side will also be forthcoming over the coming weeks & months.
As for Nani as tech director, although he brought in a variety of players, who in time will be beneficial to us, he was unable to sign the bigger names (particularly strikers) for us to provide a balanced team. If this had been possible last summer, we would be vying for a place in europe now & not still trying to play us out of a relegation battle. DS contacts through agants & the clubs scouting format will be the stepping stone to our future transfer policy.
The issue over the Olympic stadium will go the same way as the Millenium dome & become a white elephant for may years after 2012. Like Crystal palace will fall into disrepair & will definately not become the athletics legacy everyone is pinning their hopes on. We will continue at Upton park for many years & hopefully will find another site that will ensure WH future close to our spritual home.
Bring on Hull, Saturday, If we play as well as we did last night, & there is no reason why we shouldn't, its another 3points in the bag taking us up one place, assuming Sunderland lose that is!
Tom, I believe that Freddie Sears although going out on loan to Coventry for rest of season will be a casualty come summer. The midfield does need some improvement and with Boa Morte on his last year of contract may be sacrificed for someone younger. dyer will also be gone and another replacement may be needed unless other academy players are able to step up. The defence is the major overhaul needed with both Upson & Green moving on. Who is likely to come in Joe Hart would be a good replacement, however i think we will look elsewhere.
3points well & truly won tonight. Perhaps DS interview was mistimed, however I feel it was done to shake up the guys & GZ got it right. Upto 14th & with Wolves home Saturday. They in turn did well to overturn Spurs tonight. We have MU Chelsea & Arsenal away to come, but on tonights performance we will give them a run for their money. A great win for The Toffees as well.
Tim , I agree Brum are ready for a fall and we can make that happen. AS GZ says all he is concerned about is to focus on the game & also get the players in the same frame of mind. __I just hope that everyone has the same idea & we pull off that unlikely win>Lol!
posted froim previous thread: Well this morning looks a little brighter on the managerial front. David Sullivan has come out in an open interview and publicly backed GZ saying that he is entitled to his opinion. With tonights game against Brum DS said this is not a grudge match , however if Brum win I will be proved right & if WH win Gz will be proved right. Let us all hope that we are able to break Brum current winning spell and come away with 3points.

I hope that this current statement by David Sullivan does not cause a rift between himself & Gianfranco. It now requires a period of media silence over what is planned at WH. OK the damage has been done & GZ is upset over this which could have been dealt with behind closed doors & before tomorrows match against Brum. After tonights results we could move up to 14th IF WE WIN!.
Todays media statements could spur us on in defiance of DS & show that we are able to stay in this league. I just hope that GZ gets it right & our boys do us proud tomorrow. Back them all the way guys. 3-1 to the Hammers.Lol!
Kenny, As I remember it they tried to take control before. However Terence Brown could not come to an agreement and finally bought them out. The rest is WH History.
As DS has said it make no economic sense to buy West Ham and only those involved in WH & have the club at heart would ultimately invest.
