*please let me dream I know we need to sell players

[Jamie.Talks @JamieBoyce]

@TerryCo37805465 @tonypierson2 £5-10 million

[Jamie.Talks @JamieBoyce]

If West Ham really need to raise £100m+ in player sales to satisfy financial regulations, the transfer strategy should be obvious.

Matheus Fernandes. Crysencio Summerville. Jean-Clair Todibo. Malick Diouf. Max Kilman.

Those are the players most likely to generate significant fees and help rebuild the squad for a Championship promotion push.

The one player I'd fight to keep at all costs? Jarrod Bowen.

If his wages are an issue, find a solution. Waive any relegation wage reduction. Restructure the contract. Do whatever is necessary.

Because if West Ham want any chance of bouncing straight back to the Premier League, Bowen has to be part of that journey.

@greasedtea78 @tomassoucek28 Hope the club give him a lifetime supply of potato salad to tempt him

[Jamie.Talks @JamieBoyce]

@GeoffWilkinson_ £5-10 million for Kilman & £10-15 million for Todibo. I forgot to mention AWB for £10-15 million also. All adds up 🤞🏻

[Jamie.Talks @JamieBoyce]

@Texasally6 If we all have a whip around and each chip in a tenner, everything will be fine 😂

[Jamie.Talks @JamieBoyce]

@SoRare_Tricky Or... Both 🤞🏻

[Jamie.Talks @JamieBoyce]

@AllSeeingHammer Great minds think alike

[Jamie.Talks @JamieBoyce]

Nothing significant individually, but that's not really the point I'm making.

If West Ham need to raise £100m+ through player sales, every fee matters.

Max Kilman could still bring in £5-10m. Jean-Clair Todibo perhaps £10-15m. Neither figure transforms the club's finances on its own, but it all adds up when you're trying to balance the books and rebuild a squad.

At this stage, I'd move both on.

Neither have shown enough to justify being part of the rebuild, and if there are buyers willing to take them, West Ham should be listening in my opinion.

That's without mentioning Todibo falling out with 3 managers and refusing to play again for Nuno + Max Kilman not exactly being a fan favourite.

@1FFootball1 'Sacking Tim Steidten and handing more control to David Sullivan.'

Tim Steidten didn't do a good enough job at the club. But, David Sullivan is not a technical director and shouldn't have taken the responsibility of one.

[Jamie.Talks @JamieBoyce]

Every pundit and journalist suddenly has an opinion on West Ham because they're paid to. Some are taking pot shots at West Ham fans for wanting more from their football club. Others are showing sympathy. Most are missing the bigger picture.

Yes, we deserve to go down. The table doesn't lie. But this didn't start this season.

It started when we left Upton Park for a stadium that was never built for football. It continued through years of poor ownership, poor decision making and a club drifting without direction. Failing to replace Declan Rice. Appointing the wrong managers after David Moyes. Sacking Tim Steidten and handing more control to David Sullivan. Recruiting the wrong players and overpaying for them. £40 million for Max Kilman. £27 million for Niclas Füllkrug. Catastrophic decisions in a long line of catastrophic decisions. The Lucas Paquetá saga. Graham Potter stripping leadership from the dressing room. Rising ticket prices. Concessions removed. Fan revolts. Protests. All while clubs with smaller budgets and less prestige have overtaken us.

The debate has become far too black and white. Relegation isn't the result of one bad season. It's the consequence of a decade of mistakes. We've sleepwalked into this position.

I've never felt more empty as a West Ham fan. A 3-0 home win against Leeds should never feel hollow, but it did. Because too often this season we've fallen short of the standards expected of a club our size.

West Ham have been relegated before. But doing it in this stadium feels different. There's debt hanging over the club, reports of £150m+ in player sales needed to satisfy financial regulations, and genuine uncertainty about what comes next.

How has a club with so much potential allowed itself to end up here?

From European glory in Prague, the greatest night of my life as a West Ham fan, to the uncertainty of Championship football just a few years later.

That's not bad luck. That's years of failure catching up with us.

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

It's an absurd end to an utterly surreal day, which reflects a total lack of self-awareness, humility or recognition as to just how badly West Ham United have failed their many loyal supporters, not just today, but for much of the past decade.

They may return to the top flight before long, but it will take some time — and many, many changes — for fans to believe in their club again. They sold their soul for the Championship.

After relegation from the Premier League, @TimSpiers explains why West Ham are completely broken.
