Karren Brady’s promise of “a world-class team in a world-class stadium” rings even more hollow now. West Ham United should never have moved to a soulless public athletics track. Great move for the board but not for the fans. Leaving Upton Park made sense for commercial reasons but not sporting/atmosphere.
Daniel Levy was right. The Olympic Stadium should have been knocked down and a proper football stadium built there. It is a good site. But the Olympic lobby and politicians got all protective and precious about the 2012 legacy. How often does this country need a huge athletics arena anyway?
Yes, West Ham won a European trophy since they’ve left Upton Park. But London Stadium was always a problem, always a passion-killer, fans distant from the ones they love, the players, and limited potential for increased revenue streams.
Other reasons behind club’s demise. Lack of leadership in the boardroom. Recruitment an issue, too. What a mess. Record losses, fears over future of Fernandes, Summerville and Nuno, intensified protests against chairman Sullivan.
Relegation likely. Two points adrift of safety following 3-1 defeat to Newcastle. Wretched goal difference (-22) compared to Spurs’ (-9). Spurs need only a point from Chelsea away (hard) or David Moyes’ Everton at home to guarantee survival and condemn West Ham. Can Moyes do West Ham a favour? The club who let him go. West Ham need to beat ex-Spur Joe Rodon and Leeds at home anyway.
West Ham look doomed to the drop. They will return but need better ownership. And many of their fans have been warning of this perfect storm for some time. #WHUFC

Imagine leaving that for the soulless vacuum they have now?

It’s been years, and honestly, it feels like the @WestHam board just doesn’t care about the club, the fans.
The high profile journalists don’t make enough points about the turmoil that West Ham are in! Always making excuses for them!
Season after season, we watch the same old story unfold, and it’s a joke. The fans deserve better than this. 🔨
The passion the fans bring to the stands isn’t matched by the decisions being made at the top.
It’s time for a change, a real shake-up from top to bottom.
New owners are needed, people who actually understand what it means to support this club.
The fans want to see investment in the team, a vision for the future, and a commitment to the fans. Enough is enough! 🤬
Officiating gets worse and worse week after week after week.
5 minutes to see if a ball touched someone’s arm? Robbed with the first “handball” as well.
And Villa are horrible, dirty bastards.

Can't wait until the year 2050 when the NHS has disappeared, everyone is broke and all businesses have shut down. But a load of kids who got forced to do maths until 18 are excellent at BODMAS so everything is ok
