The Daves, Karren, Boris and (the SECRET DEAL!)

So Boris is under pressure to reveal (which he won't) the secret deal regards how much would be handed over if Mssrs Sullivan and Gold sell the club once we have moved to Stratford! Now we have paid around £15m up front and agreed a £2.5m per annum rent plus a % of catering profits and (if I'm correct) Stadium naming rights.
A lot of hoo ha going on about the £600m cost to the tax payer but what would have become of the stadium had we not been granted preferred and main tenants?
But did the Davids not offer to buy the stadium but were scuppered by Mssrs Hearn and Levy?
Will Premeir league football ensure business and job security for many in Westfield (especially food and drink outlets)?
Has the regeneration of lower Green Street been ignored with new state of the art housing thus protecting local business?
As I am given to understand West Ham will need to maintain the stadium (saving HM taxpayer money) an annual income and more jobs in the area. Am I missing something? But I would like to thank the fans of Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Man City and Utd and all others for donating so generously to our new home (and we had to get something back from those thieves in Sheffield lol) ohh and almost forgot how much lottery money went toward the stadium? so not as if our own fans have not contributed greatly (I know I did!) But I add final (takes a deep breath) the VAT returns should be quite substantial as well.

People we REALLY should not employ as our next manager.

Hammers Curse Continues, Now It's Henry And Tomkins!

West Ham's centre half Doneil Henry has been ruled out for the rest of the season after sustaining a serious hamstring during Blackburn's 3-1 victory over Charlton Athletic on Saturday. The news was confirmed yesterday afternoon by Rovers boss Gary Bowyer."Unfortunately for Doneil Henry it is going to be the end of his season for him, he's with a specialist as we speak. We wish him all the very best." Henry, who moved to West Ham during the January transfer window has already returned to Chadwell Heath, where he is currently being assessed. This dreadful news was shortly followed by the official confirmation of James Tomkins' need for surgery on his dislocated shoulder, like Henry, Tomkins will be out for the rest of the season. Losing two central defenders for the remainder of the season is going to put a lot of pressure on the Ginger Pele and warrior Reid, they will have to be supplemented by Cheik Kayoute, this in turn would mean Morgan Almafitino or Diego Poyet would have to be brought into the midfield in order to try and emulate the high energy that Kayoute brings to the game.
This has not been the best of weeks for West Ham fans, and annoyingly Big Sam has already started on his pre-match negativity routine by saying how hard the match against Sunderland is going to be, during this season Hammers have beaten Manchester City and Liverpool at the Boleyn, surely Allardyce should be reminding his squad of what they can do, not what they should fear! -Ed

great article by Martin Samuel.

Personally i'd go for Rafa, a lot of people saying i'm aiming too high but i think he'd be better than Moyes and in my opinion a lot of players would want to come with him in charge.
As the article above says we should be aiming high as we are becoming a very attractive club.
No settling for second best anymore, time to push on and Allardyce while being a safe bet is past his date at West Ham. Not sure about Kloppi don't think he'd leave Dortmund.. Thoughts?

Don't want Allardyce -- Do want Moyes?

Would those who would like to see David Moyes replace Sam Allardyce explain how they see Moyes as an improvement over Allardyce. I see little to choose between the kind of football we would see if such a change happened.

Would you still welcome tevez back?

Rumours abound that Tevez could be making a return to the Boleyn in the Summer if juventus sign Paulo Dybala but at 31 is this really a good idea? Whilst I am sure he still has the goal scoring ability surely this is a backward step?
