I concur But due to the big four and Man City, Spurs to a lesser extent, then that's just not on the cards these days really, is it. What, a reasonably run club with a good manager and team making steady progress? It is more than realistic enough... although not while these idiots are running things. If you just gave Ashley & Co a chance - they'd be able to turn this club into the Spurs of the North before you knew it.

Well at least Wise won't be in the dugout, apparently:

Nice try.

I'm still hoping to see the Mods impose an IP ban on the statement's author. FACT.

Got proof? Of course not, man. HTT's still looking for a brown paper bag.

"Derek Llambias is a long-term acquaintance of Mike Ashley and supports West Ham." It gets better: he's also best mates with David O'Leary. Oh yes. You can do the maths.

How can you be so sure?

Was doing an image search for Llambias and stumbled on this http://www.trophy4toon.co.uk/whoruns.html Interesting.

The great man has spoken. Wise. Out. Indeed he has. Deary deary me. This is stomach-churning stuff.

OK people we need a brown paper bag for HTT. NOW!!!

Seen this sort of thing happening before in my working life. Dullard managers in the shit, out of their depth, being very badly advised by inept PR consultants. Afraid so. I was giving Ashley the benefit of the doubt up until this indiscretion

Looks like a nasty situation is about to get even nastier, tbh. That could be a bit of a media own-goal there for Ashley & Co.

Wow. That is a pretty angry statement.

Give over. Why? Why is that such a stupid suggestion?

Indi - you're one of a very few on here that is seeing the bigger picture and actually applying any rational thought to the situation, rather than going on gut instinct and knee-jerk sentimentality, for which you are to be applauded.

Ah come on now people. We've all loved Kevin as a player and a manager - and we appreciate the fact he wears his heart on his sleeve, and we all know he loves the club with the same deep and abiding passion as we have. But please, do try and take a step back and see things with a bit more of an objective eye - we all know that Keegan (God rest his soul) could be a petulant bastard, and a prima donna to boot.

You fucking cockney bastard.

Works for this website.

Dave! You Philistine! People aren't overreacting (much). Just imagine what the forums would have been like on www.jerusalem-online.com around the time of Christ's crucifixion. I see no ostensible difference here, tbh.

Fuck this shit. Why isn't this on terrestrial TV? What the fuck is the point in paying this TV Licence?

Well, you're to blame. Can you not just have a word with your Uncle Mike Ashley and get this mess sorted out now?

It's "I would have" not I "would of". And it should be "Taribo West's horse" - you ignorant Southern wanker.
