Wolves Hungry For Hammers

West Ham's next Premier League opponents Wolves, have been showing more than an unhealthy interest in Hammers defensive stalwart Craig 'Balon Dawson' and 'unhappy' striker Michail Antonio. Dawson's desire to return oop north is well documented and it is accepted he will be back where his family are from sooner rather than later.

Sebastien Haller played for Borussia Dortmund in a friendly which was his first game since his return following treatment for testicular cancer. The ex-Hammer and Ivory Coast striker came off the bench after 73 minutes against Fortuna Duesseldorf in Marbella, a game that his team went on to win 5-1.

We once wrote an article entitled "weird scenes at the Gold mine" which paraphrased the name of a Doors album title, in it we eulogised but mocked David Gold's twitter messages that he would randomly add, later on as he got a bit older his account was 'highjacked' by the club's PR team in order to avoid too much of the truth getting out!

So according to David Moyes the Board and himself are a LOT older and wiser than most and are able to see the 'bigger picture' when all others can only see what is in front of them.

Bold talk indeed for a manager who has just overseen an appalling run of domestic form of 14 wins in 42 games, culminating in the recent sequence of FIVE defeats in a row!

Unless results improve dramatically over the next three Premier League games against those facing the relegation trap door as well, starting with fellow strugglers Leeds United on Wednesday, a new manager WILL be brought in with the clever money being on the 'muder ball' specialist Marcelo Bielsa arriving on an initial six month contract.

Mark Noble officially rejoins West Ham today as director of football, as he takes up his new role 'Mr West Ham' must be thinking what he has let himself in for. Noble's love of the club is well known, but even he must be slightly overawed by the task ahead of him.

David Moyes' tenure at West Ham United is about to reach it's nadir as he has been summoned to Theydon Bois, where majority shareholder David Sullivan lives.

Having already been given the dreaded 'vote of confidence, tomorrow's meeting in the leafy part Essex is more likely than not going to be when Moyes gets the 'tin tack'.
