  1. What is he supposed to be - holding midfielder, breaking up the other sides play, wide midfield, the eleventh player on the pitch until he gets sent off? Fuck knows... Surely Anderson or Matty Longstaff would give us something more?
  2. If I remember correctly he was way down the shopping list, plenty of others supposed to have turned the job down - Bruce might have even been the 10th choice?
  3. Carragher not far off that as well...
  4. "From this day forward we will be making our own luck.”
  5. We were. And Willy Caballero. Dubs > both.
  6. Fuck me Mourinho’s shelf life is now down to months rather than years, he is officially toxic...
  7. Replay Tuesday 4th Feb at 19.45. Be amazed if it isn’t televised, it’s got sensational underdog triumph written all over it.
  8. On the evidence so far Ciaran Clark is also a better striker than Joelinton.
  9. Haven’t seen any of the match - but this thread man 😂

  11. Moyes reckons Gold and Sullivan “showed quite a lot of class” in asking him to come back to West Ham. Fuck me.
  12. Well yes and no - if what I have read on here is true that we paid several million to get Bruce from SheffW and Bruce has a multimillion payoff clause? You could get some quality if you are prepared to do that imo. But totally agree that no one of quality would want the gig because of the transfer policy, can’ t understand why.............
  13. Sam Allardyce has signed up for the next series of Strictly Come Dancing.....
  14. True. There is no difference between Bishop and Ashley. They are experts on a world that no longer exists and, in addition, are cunts and thick as shit in a bucket sadly...

    I also agree with that. The accounts are now on the Companies House website. I will try and explain what (I think) has happened with wages. In 2016/17 the club made a provision of £22 million for "onerous employment contracts". The precise details of this provision are not disclosed, nor is there any requirement for that to happen. I would imagine Colback would have been part of it, and perhaps some other deals where we have loaned out or even sold players and are still picking up some of their wages? So in effect the actual wages paid to players and staff actually at the club in 2016/2017 would have been £112 million less the provision of £22 million = £90 million. In 2017/2018 the club released £10 million of the provision which means that the actual wages paid to players and staff actually at the club would have been £94 million plus the provision release of £10 million = £104 million. Another observation on the accounts is that as at 30th June 2018 we were owed £30 million for players we had sold, and we owed £28 million for players we had bought. So the old policy of paying up front and selling by instalments seems to have been abandoned.

    Well yes. From the latest communications it seems that, at present, Ashley is prepared to leave the £111 million in as quasi equity. Anything over and above is repayable on demand. I suspect he prefers to leave it that way rather than turn the £111 million into real equity because he can use it is a bargaining chip when he sells the club. “I want £x million for the club plus my Loan back”. As opposed to the £111 million getting swallowed up into part of the equity. If you get my drift? Unlike many on here I do think he does intend to sell....I sense that SD paying “something” in future for the advertising at SJP might be a clue. I don’t post on here too often these days so won’t be arsed if I am wrong
  17. Michael Owen talking utter bollox - what a shock.
  18. Maradona goal? Arguably there was a hint of handball.
  19. Bimpy my man, it is a strange time to be having an Internet conversation but who said that? I may need an hour or two of kip before I get to read your reply....
