Most fans are as baffled by how FFP doesn't seem to apply to the 'big' clubs as they are about the circumstances regarding the unfair 'tapping up' of players, again involving the 'big' clubs, there is legislation in the FA rule book covering the issue, unfortunately it was made BEFORE the advent of social media and it's ubiquitous spin offs and as such is no longer fit for purpose!

It appears that Hammers boss, David Moyes' 'mole hunting', is beginning to pay dividends as for once there is only speculation regarding players' fitness issues, as opposed to info straight from the horses mouth as it had been. You may wonder what the problem is?

Dear old 'arry Redknapp would always reference the fact that his squad was "down to the bare bones" during his tenure as West Ham United manager, funnily enough the 'BB' reference was always used more just ahead of the January transfer window, as if to remind the board that they would shortly need to put their hands in their pockets.

Well, the manager has changed but the situation hasn't, going in to the crucial and frenetic Christmas and new year games schedule, present incumbent David Moyes is having to cope with injuries to key layers on an increasingly alarming scale!
