West Ham banter 3

30 Jun 2026 18:05:36
Spurs have agreed 85million deal to sign Fernandes according to SSN and Summerville is man us top target to replace Rashford.

30 Jun 2026 15:53:44
Last year's sponsor shirt deal was £12.25m, now in the Championship. Although not official, I’m told it’s quite a bit less, not so much TV exposure.

30 Jun 2026 18:13:24
You're joking, Joyful 2, we're the favourites for the title so I think we're going to get plenty of TV exposure.

30 Jun 2026 18:29:17
We are the favourites, but there's been less exposure in the past, there's no guarantee in how many games we will feature, all coverage can be changed, there's far less tv money in that division, West Ham will receive less money from Boyle Sports for sure.

30 Jun 2026 18:29:39
Not all round the world like the Premier League, Stevie. We won't.

01 Jul 2026 06:55:53
According to sources the deal with Boyle is worth 12mil this season. Boyle feel that West Ham's exposure will be greater this season than it was last year. The reason being, us playing in the Championship is massive news, and everyone is watching to see how we fare in the Championship.

Don't believe all you read, not true, sorry.

01 Jul 2026 15:43:27
A question for WHTID, a fellow supporter in friendship: why would anybody rush to watch West Ham in the Championship? Why not Wolves, Burnley, or Norwich? Championship sides have nowhere near the exposure of the Premier League, which is shown worldwide. Championship football is not, and will not be, shown globally in the near future, for sure.



Why would anybody pay the same amount, or similar, to any club who has lost that coverage? Perhaps they are. Donors, fair enough, no company is going to pay the same for minimal coverage.

If you wanted advertising space, would you? I wouldn't, for sure!

Front of shirt sponsor. So it isn't Capital Water as previously stated, it is Boyle Sports again.

30 Jun 2026 09:42:11
Yup, the deal with Capital Water was very small, and made because Boyle Sports' contract had expired and would have closed anyway with relegation, bringing different sponsorship financial levels.

Boyle Sports have renewed at a lower cost. WH are talking to Capital Water Ltd, to see if they are interested in a sleeve advert.

30 Jun 2026 10:29:22
Incidentally, it was another of Sullivan's crappy deals. West Ham are currently trying to sort out some other Sullivan deals; one is catering.

29 Jun 2026 18:29:11
Hayden Hackney to Everton. He was never going to another Championship club £25 m plus.

29 Jun 2026 11:28:47
On Wednesday Xabi Alonzo becomes Chelsea manager.

One of his tasks will be to decide blucos position on Summerville and Bowen, and of course Disasi.

We shall see?

29 Jun 2026 14:14:45
Bowen to Villa by the end of Summer.

29 Jun 2026 15:29:57
Bowen has been offered a new contract. You can't amend the old one; same wage, same conditions, etc., starting July 1st. He has not yet signed. The pressure all round is going to start. Next Monday, back to training for all those not involved in the World Cup.

29 Jun 2026 08:50:17
"Ant" Gonzales?

28 Jun 2026 17:44:56
Well it seems WH have eight chances of promotion this season.

Let’s hope I get this right! First and second automatic promotion as usual. 3 rd and fourth hold still, whilst places 5/6 /7/8 play each other.



The two winners of the games between 5/6 /78 will play the third and fourth, then those two winners will appear at the Wembley playoff final.

Bit complicated but there you are.

30 Jun 2026 12:41:48
Yes, but there's still only 3 places!

30 Jun 2026 18:48:54
Absolutely, but much more chance to get there, this is to generate more money, more games etc.

01 Jul 2026 17:24:09
In that case you could say we have 46 chances at promotion, because that's how many matches we'll play in the Championship.

26 Jun 2026 07:39:02
{Ed's Note - BlueNose1878 has posted a new article entitled, Why Promise David Could Suit Everton

25 Jun 2026 12:17:55
Fixtures are out, I hope we're promoted with a few games to go as the end of April doesn't look too clever, away at Wolves then away to Boro, let's hope is all done and dusted by then.

25 Jun 2026 16:24:43
Long, long season, mate. Games every few days, going to be very difficult. Need young, fit people. Small squad useless for 46 games plus.

24 Jun 2026 23:59:38
Anyone know about Mavropanos agreeing new deal at West Ham?

25 Jun 2026 07:07:25
Dortmund are chasing him. Week after next, he and a few others will become clearer. When they return, or not, for training, then talks will take place as to which direction they want to take.

Mavrapanos is on a lower ££40 k wage; that is going to halve on July 1st, to £20 k a week. That won't be enough to keep him at West Ham, so talks required.

25 Jun 2026 17:08:36
I think you will find that Mavro is on 50k per week. But, I agree half that is not enough to keep him. I did hear the DK has offered to the players they want to keep the half wages they lose as a bonus if we go straight back up. Clever thinking, if it is true.

25 Jun 2026 21:21:14
I'd sell him, an average defender who, over the course of his West Ham career, has played well in a handful of games. If we get a decent price, sell.

26 Jun 2026 08:12:23
WHTID Mavro is on 2, , 600, 000 dollars a year, two million six hundred thousand dollars, which equates
to approx £2 m…..40 k a week.

The bonus idea was posted by myself some time ago, it is clever, it won’t suit all, but it may please some, but it further makes it difficult, maybe, for some players to make their mind up.
