Any truth in the rumours????

Grandkids want replica shirt young lad at work told me to look at this site if buying a shirt so now to all you old farts on here if it helps with the young ones in your families getting a shirt the sites name is okjersey.com and to say they are reasonable is no lie.

I'll keep this short and sweet. Now I know Nuno has got very good previous here with Wolves promotion. So I don't really see any bumps in the road. But in my opinion we cannot, and should not, bring our Premier League mentality to the Championship.

I watched a fair bit of the Championship last season and as a football anorak. The difference in playing style is as obvious as Bonnie Blue in charge of a Nunnery. Night and day difference.

So I'm not telling Nuno how to do his job, but the mindset and combative battling have to be there from the outset. Burnley will be in a similar position, so the contrast will not be so evident. But it won't take long to wake up. This is a whole different ball game.

Bit like the good old days when the only foreign transfers that happened were Scots coming down to play in Div 1....A snippet in the papers once a week then suddenly "XXXXX" signs for the Hammers and as fans we thought wow wonder who he is if he is any good etc where as nowadays every bloody player has some you tube channel showcasing his talents and suddenly we are all experts on the player.

But back to the Club..the recent dealings regarding sales whilst we all new who would for sure be leaving the club were not saying anything rather let media outlets fan channels etc speculate over the price and such and how much we should sell for as valuations way inflated and nobody would pay up...Radio silence from the club nothing until the price was met and the deal done...now i think we can all agree that had the other lot still been in charge instead of the over £140million we got for both players their would of been story after story about how we have to sell before we can buy we really need to sell blah blah blah and if we had got anywhere near £100million for both we would of been amazed.

So are you happier with this new way (proper) of going about our dealings or are you needing the drug of constant links and Chairman led gossip leading to chaos.

One last thing to note although i mentioned the Scots coming down as regular transfers in the summer in those long ago days i have to say(nope not talking the great Clyde Best here) i rmbr going to this match and seeing this Lad make his debut and score for us.....and come on now that is the proper away kit you have to agree...

With the Playoffs now extended down to the top eight if we are not in that then we are in shit! but my biggest fear is Nuno...the way he falls out with players and that's it you are done regardless of what it may mean to the team is a big worry for me....Now do not get me wrong i am all for discipline and showing players who is in charge but seemingly holding grudges for some sleight really he needs to grow up and get a thicker skin.......His tactics well we all no them but let us see if his best mate now alongside him can help remedy his shall we say over cautious way of playing.....I am looking forward to the new season and hopefully football on the front foot for a change and with the Portsmouth cup game already a sell out well i am sure their are plenty of other supporters of other clubs who cast a jealous eye our way and many smaller sides looking forward to a nice payday when we come to town...COYI lets win the bloody Championship.

Wowza boys what great news this is,he did have a poor season last year but hearing this has made my day let us hope it encourages others to stay and no i am not naming him but i think you all can guess lol.

Delighted to hear that 45K season ticket holders have renewed. Thats bloody amazing and just confirms what we already knew that WHU is a MASSIVE club.

I think 45K is larger than the capacity of any other club in the Chumps?

So, somethings never change including the incompetence of West Ham ticketing. I gave up my season ticket in 2024 but duly paid the £10 and went back on the waiting list.

I heard this week that new season tickets are being bought and the clowns in charge have given first dibs to folk that only just joined the waiting list!

I called the club and they confirmed the cock up and were inundated with calls from angry fans.. you couldn't make it up!

I thought this level of incompetence was the reserve of the money grabbers Brady & Sullivan!

Did you stay up to watch the match?

Im still buzzing after a fantastic game.

Odd for me as I am defo more Club than Country

Ok we all know apart from Bowen the players have taken a big hit on the wage front(i should be so lucky to earn half of what they are on)and so players want out etc etc now Jimmy may well get his move but already he has found out that his demand for five million in wages even for a club the size of Roma has proven to rich and for many clubs across Europe trying to match Premier league wages is nigh on impossible unless your are a Madrid/Barca/Munich/PSG so then the player is left with a very small pond to fish in and the club with the upper hand when it comes to price as know relegation release clause. Another player wanting out is my mate Mav with Leverkusen chasing him but can they afford his wage? maybe now it has halved but that would be a permanent half not a possible do one season in the championship get promoted and the money back up to the level he and others are accustomed to.
None of the players are paupers lets face it so unless one of the big clubs come in restoring the wage to what you are used to or more why move i am sure the majority could cope for one year on half a wage after all it is not like players live in the real working world is it.
