It’s so easy to sit there and look for reasons as to why we are where we are but the bottom line is, we’ve simply not been good enough or consistent enough. We’ll all clutch at straws and go down the conspiracy theory route but the truth is, the damage was done a long time ago. Things have massively improved from January but the mountain we left ourselves to climb is the reason for it.
In truth, it stretches back as far as the final 5 months from Moyes’ reign. It’s absolutely not Moyes’ fault because we’ve had so much time and 3 managers since but it should’ve been fixed from above way before now. Lopetegui and Potter were an absolute shambles and have completely played their part in destroying the club.
The owners have got virtually every single decision wrong, on and off the pitch. Recruitment has been done blind. Training facilities are still synonymous with a L2 level club. We’ve got some absolutely wonderful players at the club but that’s all they are. A group of individuals that Nuno has finally turned into a team but we’ve fast run out of time. The transformation he’s made will fully go under the radar because ultimately, it hasn’t kept us up but for the state he inherited this squad, I can’t believe it’s taken me until May to write this.
Really not sure what the future holds for the club. I welcome the possibility of a full club reset but it has to start at the top. Sullivan must go, Kretinsky must go, The Gold Family must go and Tripp-Smith must go. Club finances are absolutely in the bin and if we don’t get it right, it really could be the beginning of the end. There’s a lot of players I can’t wait to see the back of but a select few I’m going to be gutted with.
The most painful thing is after Prague, everything felt incredible. It finally felt like that new dawn we’d be waiting for. But it was all squandered and allowed to fizzle out. A day after we won that final, we put Rice in the shop window and begged Arsenal to come and take him. He’d have left anyway but that’s the message we sent out after our greatest achievement in my lifetime.
We’ve been in dire straits before, we’ve been in the Championship, pain and suffering is no stranger to us. But this definitely feels different. This felt preventable. We gave up our whole soul, identity, integrity and values to end up back here again 15 years on. Yeah we won a trophy, but none of us are West Ham fans for the glory, that’s for sure.
What will be, will be, if only we were going to Coventry. I’ll still be there. I’ll still pour my heart and soul into the club and not even get 0.000001% in return but it’s a toxic life sentence. Maybe it’s a new, new dawn. Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards, but with how the club is run, I feel like I’m a dreamer. I have zero confidence in them fucking criminals.
There was a significant incident involving Todibo Nun leading to a red card! A pivotal moment in the match.

Oi mate, the West Ham lot reckon they 'ad good reason to shake up the gaffers, what with the team slippin' down the table an' all. Fans ain't all on the same page, though.
David Moyes 'ad a proper decent run, mind, but them last six months were a right mare—barely winnin' a quarter of the games. So the board gave 'im the elbow. Then Julen Lopetegui comes in, but 'e couldn't get the lads goin' neither, sittin' 14th when they sacked 'im. Some reckon that was a bit quick, like.
Now Graham Potter's in the 'ot seat, but 'e ain't settin' the world alight yet, winnin' less than one in five. Still, the board's 'opin' a proper pre-season and a few new faces might turn it round. We’ll see, won’t we?
"There is no rush. It’s the end of the season now. We’re not going to reach Europe, so it’s time to prepare for the next season. If you want to be smart and productive, you should work for it. Next season has to be big. We are still West Ham and West Ham are massive."

@RoshaneSport I feel so sorry for the young fans. Nothing to get excited about, boring football. I don't think he's the right man for the job, did well at a nothing club like Brighton but that's it.
