The College Dropout Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Klopp is a wild suggestion though obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Why the f*** did MOTD just link Klopp to West Ham New (free) stadium could be the making of them, worryingly. Hopefully it will be a soulless, barren waste, but it might just work. How will it help do you think? All I can see is a worse atmosphere and maybe stealing a few young fans from Leyton Orient. It's a free stadium with big capacity, excellent infrastructure and transport links. West Ham's supporter base has, over the years, moved out into darkest Essex, and this suits them perfectly. A couple of strong seasons - funded in part by the sale of Upton Park, which (again) is essentially free money - could really solidify them as the "Essex" team over other competitors. It's a pretty big catchment area, and if nothing else, the stadium will be perfect for kids/families and should allow West Ham to offer cheap family packages to fill the place. Of course, I'm hoping that the distance from the pitch will ruin the atmosphere, and that it will all come crashing down. The potential is clearly there though, which is why Klopp is not entirely fanciful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I should add, I don't literally want it to come crashing down . At least, not when anyone is actually in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I agree - Klopp is the kind of guy who you can convince with ambition and dreams rather than simply money and success. He's Keegan-esque. I'd run through the Gaza Strip with my dong out if we got him. He'd, annoyingly, fit in well at Liverpool where they have a proper "us vs. the world" attitude.

Beren Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Also Shay Given in an FA Cup final Won it with City didn't he? Did he? Can't remember. Maybe it's just galling as he has a reasonable chance to do so with Villa. In 2015, no less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 If you've been in the Premiership for a long time, you should be in a cup final at least once a decade man. I think we are the only team with maybe the exception of West Brom who have been in the PL for 9 out of the last 10 years without some type of domestic final. Maybe Everton? They lost to City maybe in a semi however. We haven't had one of those in yonks either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also reached a Semi in 2012 or 2013 v Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Aye yeh. So it's just us & West Brom who have spent a good few years in the Championship in any case.. West Ham perhaps too. It's depressing man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben-nufc Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 If you're talking a decade even West Ham made it in 2006! As if to further strengthen your point! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Being in the Premiership regularly should mean you can expect a strong run in the Cups every few years. Possibly win one. A European adventure too. Now the prize is just being in the Premiership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Also Shay Given in an FA Cup final After Stephen Carr and Obafemi won the League Cup with Brum the other year. Who next... Peter Ramage, Smudger, Harper? Find it funny that anyone would still be holding a grudge against Given, like. Good on him for getting the fuck away from this liar-led soulless circus.
