With the season drawing to an end, transfer rumours abound despite the window not opening for months! Having endured a spectacularly disappointing season most West Ham fans are essentially looking for two things, survival in the short term and progress in the future. Assuming the primary objective of Premier League survival is achieved, which is by no means guaranteed it is widely accepted that wholesale changes need to be made which might even involve replacing Slaven Billic as manager with Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi.

David Sullivan was incandescent with rage following the publication by The Daily Express of an article claiming that he had been trying to sell part of the club, and he has every right to be annoyed! Closer examination of said article reveals the lack of cognitive reasoning by the 'writers', the maths don't add up nor does the logic stack up. Why on earth would the co-owners accept a pro rata figure which under values the club by at least 40%?

Using a highly flawed Old school bits of paper in a cap method we drew the three lucky winners! They are Cast Iron, Dicks Is The Man and Akira Andersson. No nepotism or under hand techniques were used and no animals were hurt during the draw. Would the winners please send their addresses to: admin@westhamfans.org - Ed

*"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."

While it is unlikely that any more EPL managers will lose their jobs before the end of this season, there are a select few who may well be in danger during the summer. One of the managers heading this unfortunate list is Slaven Bilic, anyone wishing to make the most of free bet offers like this Bet365 promotion at Bonus Codes may be interested to know that Bilic is now 7/1 on to be replaced by the club's owners.

West Ham have continued to be linked with a £30million summer move for Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere, though face a battle with Bournemouth for the midfielder following his season long loan on the south coast. £30 Million for an injury prone player approaching the last year of his contract? Someone is having a giraffe, and a conspicuously large one at that! Possibly a £10-12 Million purchase at the most, but even at that price do West Ham really need another midfielder, particularly one with a poor injury record?
