I have the worst feeling that its going to a huge let down again this year. Cole going and no-one coming in.
Lets hope I'm wrong

I am also baffled Goatygav, not for the same reasons as you though mate.
I am Baffled how Iain Dale spends many a happy blog criticising fans and posters on this site for booing or slagging players off when he blogs about Boa-Morte like he does. I guess he is a bit like most of his Tory mates, a hypocrite

Oh dear, the silly story season has started.
Any manager who has been mentioned would be better then Zola.
Zola is a nice guy and I hope he has another chance somewhere but he was thrown in at the deepend with the sharks and it was all to much for the fella in his first managerial role.
I am still hoping Mark Huges gets a call..
I can see why most on here are not to sorry to hear Cole, Upson and Green may leave. After last season, only perhaps Parker come out with any real credit. But all three of the above England players have some qualities and we would need to replace them with better, how would Gold and Sullivan do that when reinforcements are needed anyway. Without Cole possibly leaving, we need two strikers, another quality centerback, a right back and a leftback.
Like most fans i speak to, I can not get to excited about what may happen, I need the summer break to recharge after a dreadful season ..

Not been posting on this site for a few months, see your still on the same crusade against Gold and Sullivan. Good to see somethings don't change.
Hope to see you at one or two games next year, but I guess being in Ireland, its difficult. I guess your opinion that the banks that controlled the club before was better then Gold and Sullivan still stands? Keep it up mate, LOL

IMHO This pledge is a step in the right direction.
The new owners have had alot of stick on here and other fan sites, rightly so most of the time but not all.
The facts are, the football the team played was crap last season, far far worse then at any time even under Curbishley. Zola, however much likeable, was out of his depth and had to go. It was Zola who insisted n bringing in the useless signing of McCarthy, before that we was going to build our team around Jimenez. Tactics was a mess, we was lucky to stay up. Most seasons 35pts would be relegation.
All I am trying to say is that this summer and next season should be the time we start judging how good or bad Sullivan and Gold are for our club, not what has happened so far. They could not really do anything during the season and halfway during the January transfer window is not the right time to start looking for the quality players we need. Lets start now with a clean slate and wait and see before throwing abuse in Gold and Sulivans direction.

16 years ago @ West Ham Till I Die - Who Should Partner Cole? · 0 replies · +2 points

It has to be Cole and Mido, with Ilan on the bench. Great to have options though. McCarthy looks like a waste of money so far, over weight and unfit. Maybe next year he will come good but thats not what we need now. Franco is still a week or two away from being fit and its nice that we dont have to rush him back and risk him breaking down again.
Fans have been critical of the new owners, but these options will hopefully see us safe this season.

BG the man responsible for putting us in the position we are in now? Nice quote, left up to him we would be in administration and in all likelyhood, gone the way of Aldershot

I think most fans on here are right behind Zola and the team, but lets face facts.Zola has brought the club to where we are now, not Gold or Sullivan, there comments might not of helped this week but the three strikers they brought in last week should.

At last a reasonable post. It's true, Gold and Sullivan should a little less vocal about cost cutting but recent poor results and whatever happens in tomorrows game can only be levelled at the team manager. Is he not the one who has put us in this position. Most people tell me we have a better team then those around us. Zola it appears, is now starting to hide behind the off field matters rather then take some responsibilty himself. I think just because he is very likable, he has got of lightly.
