Moyes In Showdown With Sully!

Hammers lack of activity in the transfer market has gone from being a 'matter of some concern', into a full blown crisis! All the usual guff that emanates from the Hammers hierarchy is there in all but 'physical presence'. The board have realised that they can spew out their bovine excretia from a distance, preferably using a Patsy to verbalise their 'vision'.

In the past it was the 'West Ham Way', but not anymore! David Moyes is most definitely NOT a Hammers Patsy, far from it, in fact we have been told that Moysie and Sully have had one or two or three 'heated' debates regarding player acquisitions. So heated have some of their 'debates' been, that there was apparently the need to have a 'time out' from their discussions in order to avoid the situation spiralling out of control.

David Moyes Is NOT Happy!

David Sullivan and the Board tried to deploy their usual tactic of promising money but then saying the rug has been pulled from under them due to ......the list is endless, but Moyes isn't buying it. Moyes is particularly grieved by the constantly changing fiscal goal posts that has seen his transfer budget go from paltry to miniscule.

As usual the spin machine is in full flight with the usual ridiculously ridiculous speculation regarding this player and that, none of whom the club could possibly afford. There are two major issues evolving here, Moyes is not the type of character to kowtow to rich owners, especially if they aren't rich! The other salient point is that David Moyes is a rather wealthy man in his own right and as such cannot be bribed or cajoled by the Twins' filthy lucre, a situation they find hard to cope with.

We could publish a whole raft of stories about David Sullivan's early business enterprises and how he made them happen whilst skirting the edges of legal ramifications using similar principals to those currently employed in running West Ham, the problem is that the venerable Henri Brandman would be sending us a nice little writ in the post, as he has done in the past.

The next week may well turn out to be one of the most seismic in Hammers already turbulent history since the Twins took over, there bluff and counter bluff finally reaching someone who is resilient who cannot have the wool pulled over his eyes.

David Moyes was most definitely NOT most supporters first choice as a manager, even after rescuing the club from relegation, not once, but twice in quick succession. However he has won over the sceptics who now know that he is a decent man who actually really wants the club to do well, without a hidden agenda except maybe the desire to put one over on Manchester United, and that can't be a bad thing can it? - Ed
