David Sullivan was incandescent with rage following the publication by The Daily Express of an article claiming that he had been trying to sell part of the club, and he has every right to be annoyed! Closer examination of said article reveals the lack of cognitive reasoning by the 'writers', the maths don't add up nor does the logic stack up. Why on earth would the co-owners accept a pro rata figure which under values the club by at least 40%?

Using a highly flawed Old school bits of paper in a cap method we drew the three lucky winners! They are Cast Iron, Dicks Is The Man and Akira Andersson. No nepotism or under hand techniques were used and no animals were hurt during the draw. Would the winners please send their addresses to: admin@westhamfans.org - Ed

*"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."

While it is unlikely that any more EPL managers will lose their jobs before the end of this season, there are a select few who may well be in danger during the summer. One of the managers heading this unfortunate list is Slaven Bilic, anyone wishing to make the most of free bet offers like this Bet365 promotion at Bonus Codes may be interested to know that Bilic is now 7/1 on to be replaced by the club's owners.

West Ham have continued to be linked with a £30million summer move for Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere, though face a battle with Bournemouth for the midfielder following his season long loan on the south coast. £30 Million for an injury prone player approaching the last year of his contract? Someone is having a giraffe, and a conspicuously large one at that! Possibly a £10-12 Million purchase at the most, but even at that price do West Ham really need another midfielder, particularly one with a poor injury record?

Chelsea have held talks with West Ham United over a potential ground share at the London Stadium during the redevelopment of Stamford Bridge, the club would prefer to play home matches at Wembley during the three years when their new stadium is being built, but have opened talks about other grounds within the M25 in case they are unable to reach an agreement with the FA. At one time they were even considering doing a deal with Brentford, as a possible move to Twickenham has been ruled out due to opposition from the Rugby Football Union and local residents.

There has been so much speculation over the future of West Ham boss Slaven Bilic, with one recent report claiming he will be sacked if his side fails to finish in the top 10, but Hammers joint-chairman David Gold has defended the former Croatian international manager. "There is no issue between me and the board and Slaven," Gold insisted. "I go to every board meeting, and in the board there have been no discussions over Slaven, he's our manager we all like him, he's a great guy."

Because of the recent poor run of form and also because it has been International break week, the tabloids and to a certain extent social media have been conducting a 'Billic witch hunt'. The Telegraph being the latest to jump on board by declaring 'Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner has emerged as a potential candidate for the West Ham job if the owners decide in the summer that Slaven Bilic is not the man to take the club forward in the long term.' Well there you have it, it must be true mustn't it?
