current season

Pellegrini in as manager,good additions in fredericks,flappihandski & diop...just arrived wilshere,looks like yarmolenko is coming as well....possibly more on the horizon,great that we are getting deals done early & its all starting to look rosy...I am one of their biggest critics & still a long,long way to go before i warm to them,but personally i reckon fan power has persuaded sugo to start doing what they promised,they have big egos but are sensitive in that they want to be loved!!;)
Your thoughts on the board are they turning a corner at last??

As we have mentioned in

As we have mentioned in recent editorials this is the season that the board can spend money, last season they were unable to because of the rule change that meant they couldn't take out a 'pay day' loan against future earnings, this was a common place practice not only for West Ham but also Everton until they were taken over. So last season they were unable to borrow in the way that they had before which left a £50 Million 'black hole' to deal with, it's a pity that the board or someone from the club's hierarchy didn't have the cojones to explain this, had they done so fans would have been far more sympathetic and understood what was going on,unfortunatley due to the 'preening' nature of all top football club owners, honesty is seen as a sign of weakness when it comes to discussing financial affairs!

I never saw any of this but i

I knew there was a rule change but didnt know the exact terms, so glad youve cleared that up! Didn't the rule change mean we could only borrow against the likes of the club shop etc..

I think that says it all Nev...

We just want a bit of honesty & then we might be a bit more sympathetic...maybe someone has had a word in sugos shell-like & told em its time to show a bit of respect to the best fans in the world!!

When you've lied for as long

When you've lied for as long as they have, everything they say sounds like the truth. It's only when it's pointed out to them as clearly as it was last season by the fans that they realise they've been talking BS for the best past of the last 8yrs!!

Honesty

give yourself a slap with a wet fish Hammer65 lol then again maybe the heats taking its toll on you..since when have sugo acted with honesty to the ordinary fan....still we can but hope this is the new era we have long been

Agree mac

Now wheres that fish!!

I find them so untrustworthy

I find them so untrustworthy it's almost impossible for me to give them any credit now. If they can convince me they can now be honest and trustworthy over a decent period of time I'll cut them some slack. Still need the 3 big deals to come through tho. That's Anderson, yarmelenko and that South American centre half all have been described currently as immenant.
