Thoughts on the new kit? Must admit I was ready to hate it as the last Umbro one's were awful. pleasantly surprised though, I think it looks great!

I understand why that’d be good for West Ham Warrington but a club that finishes 7th should not be in the CL.

Haha cheers this is better than the rumours.

What was said? Seems to have been deleted. Ed02 been posting while on the sauce?
{Ed002's Note - My responses have been deleted - basically Iron Mike took a shot at whilst dribbling all of his BS after I explained exactly what happened last week in Geneva. I am sure he will be back with the dozen or so "bid gone in" that West Ham supposedly make everyday. It is true that the club are seem as complete amateurs in the business but quite frankly they are not that bad.}

We are still in June right?

Not for me. Giroud maybe but only if we manage to get rid of AC. I don't think Hart is much of an upgrade on Adrian and think the fee and wages could be spent elsewhere. He was beyond awful last season.

I totally agree that he does make some mistakes and he should not be getting involved in selection or identifying transfer targets. However, my point is that by and large they have done a fantastic job in the time they have been at the club and they deserve a little more gratitude than they are shown at times. Not saying we have to agree with everything but I find it distasteful to make sweeping statements attacking them personally. I don't like the notion that they'll have to sell up because they don't have the financial clout, IMO clubs should be self sustaining, especially given how much revenue we currently enjoy in the PL. ROBBO, I get where you are coming from and can imagine it does come across that way. I get as frustrated as anyone watching us atm but I think sometimes factors other than new signings are huge influences that often get overlooked. It's not an easy league to play in and if you are just slightly off you will more than likely lose, momentum turns against you, pressure mounts from media and fans alike and it's a massive challenge to get back to winning ways, especially if you are contending with injuries and players still acclimatising to the PL. I think us fans are more important than ever at times like this, to get behind our team and not add to the difficulties of the task at hand. I accept your point about what the site is for - I was trying to highlight that it's not abject failure if they fail to land these targets or do not attempt to sign them. With the FFP constraints they cannot just keep buying players without moving others on, which whilst in the form we have been in would be a greatly reduced fees. I see that as a costly knee jerk solution which has no guarantee of success and doesn't represent a good long term strategy for the sustainability of the club. That being said if we have the opportunity to bring in someone they think could absolutely make the difference, I would be all for it. Sorry that was much longer than I intended.

Every now and for some unbeknown reason I decide to look at this site and I'm reminded exactly what I hate about modern day football and it's fans. It's a hugely competitive league that we compete in and spending money is no guarantee of success, as we have seen this season. The owners are praised and rightly so IMO when things are going well, remember where we were when they came in? They got us the deal of the century when we got the Olympic stadium, but as we are struggling to settle there (as clubs often do when moving stadiums) they are accused of ripping the soul out of the club. They have continually ploughed their own money into the club to raise transfer funds and provide stability to our club. Sometimes it doesn't work out with transfers, this happens at every club regardless of how how carefully you try to avoid it. Do you really believe they are not doing their absolutely upmost for the good of this club? How can people be so fickle as to jump on the bandwagon, call them all the names under the sun and suggest they get out of our club, some serious perspective is needed! Maybe ED02 was correct when he talked about bringing in a director of football and that could be the way forward, they do seem to make mistakes in this department but does that outweigh all the good they have done? Give them time to get it right, as they have so often done since they took over. Do you also think Leicester should sacked Ranieri, get rid of Vardy, Mahrez and anyone else how hasn't quite performed as well as last season? Last season I think we'll all agree was fantastic and was always going to be a hard act to follow. Even harder when you consider we had a number of injuries to key players at the start of the season and a lot of new players that as a result had to pushed straight into the 1st team all at once. Now I am not suggesting they are all going to turn it around but I think you need to look beyond the surface and not just write them all off as rubbish because we are barely above the relegation zone. I believe that we will come good and finish in a respectable mid table position and hopefully push on next season. I personally don't think this will be solved by throwing more money at the situation but by coming together as a squad and have a little more continuity than we have had of late. I think it's commendable how DGS do not jump quick to sack mangers they hire, it's right that they give Slaven time to turn it around, especially given the injuries we've had and the incredibly tough run we've had of late. We as supporters should be the team rather than throwing the toys out of the pram because they didn't sign your favorite player from Championship Manager.

No I'll leave the giving it large to you. I was as happy as the next man for the win, just think really put off by the modern day supporter that seems to take more joy in scrutinizing everything than getting behind our team. Not every player we sign will fit instantly into the team.
it didn't help that we had key players injured at the start. Hopefully with players coming back now and a couple of ugly wins we can get something going. As a fan like yourself I just don't see the point in being so negative, especially when we know about these factors, the media does a good enough job on their own. As for the young Jack part, no, I imagine there is a fair few more than just the 2 of us as well.

I'm just glad being fickle works both ways. At least we don't have to choose our next manager, slag off scouts, the manager and the owners this week.

I'm with Robbo there, if anyone has to take credit for that it HAS to be Tore.
