[Football] West Ham points deduction surely......

'West Ham' on Twitter is a joyous experience.

Karen Brady paying herself 900k

TBF I'd probably do that if I could.

Some people on here have very short memories. We had plenty of pitch invasions before the FA took away points.

I’m with the West Ham fans on this one. Have had the soul of their club destroyed for the sake of a cheap deal at a big stadium. Not surprised they expected to see some of this money invested better.

This, with bells on.

 

[Gwylan]

Sure, but there were fans who weren't happy at the time. .

Not many - 85% of the fans supported the move to the stadium

I'm not sure that they can the club hasn't invested either: £20+ for Arnautovic. Lanzini on 70k a week and I bet Hernandez is on a similar sort of deal. They're not a money bags club but they're scarcely another Blackpool

Have you got a link to a riotous one, please?

I think you deserve it, just do it

Their story is a million miles away from ours. If they were in the top half of the league none of this would be happening. I have zero sympathy for them. Another self entitled set of fans. And they will get a nominal fine which won’t touch the sides. My sympathy lies with Dulwich Hamlet not WHU.

“Where’s the money gone”. Says it all.

West Ham fans on the pitch forcing the board to leave, surely a points deduction is on the cards....

Talk about shooting yourselves in the foot idiots.

I'd like them to charge West Ham, then deduct points from Sheffield United, just to watch the explosion.

 

[Weststander]

Classy.

Supporting a move and being happy about the move isn't the same thing. 85% supported based on the information given at the time, and the questions they were presented with. I remember there were a lot of concerns raised about moving from an historic football ground to a converted athletics stadium, hence polls such as these.

One of the options:

Support move as will provide resources to improve squad and club - 51%

A reluctant acceptance to move as it will allow the club to improve their on-field performances through increased resources. That hasn't happened.

If the fans had been asked "are you happy to relocate from the Boleyn Ground to the Olympic Stadium", then you might expect the percentages to be quite different. I'm not sure how many fans would have supported the move to be in an on-field position no better than they were before.

It's just another bleedin' heart club, thinking they should be in the PL, because of reputation.
Aside from the supposed top 6, the lesser part of the PL is changing, clubs who've just survived every season, are struggling.
You have to earn the right to be there, as the Albion have done.

Yep. Fair chance of all three promoted clubs staying up which is almost unheard of.

The cynic in me will probably say that all the pundits, would talk, next season, about the former PL giants that are in the championship league!

Soccer Saturday Pre game programme showed David Sullivans son, I guess about 22 year old, being interviewed with a heliopter behind him. he was pleading with the fans to stop protesting and get behind the team,
If anything was going to wind up true fans, Neanderthals or not, it must be a Hooray Henry with a rich daddy that has ripped the arse out of the club, and a helicopter, telling the fans what to do.
What a wanker

So it’s ok to support a move to if it guarantees success? This is a sport, nothing is guaranteed. They are just another club fighting their way like the rest of us, they are nothing special.
