My posting is as futile as the next man, regardless of their inflated idea of their self importance.
I'm not sure why you post half of what you do and don't care either.
Don't like mine then click ignore.

You could try, though. I'm fairly certain the answers would be more amusing than most of what you post.Quote:

Think this is a large part of it.Quote:

Even if this is the case though it is craziness to put that over the health and success of the club.
I could try but I won't.Quote:

There has been no active protest march or show of discontent outside of the odd banner which are taken by the stewards. I hope the opposition does get more vocal. I am not of the view that just because an owner has bought the club he can run it into the ground. This lot are going a long way to doing it. I truly believe they will make the same mistakes in League 1 as they are now.
So the answer is nothing. Despite the hours upon hours you've spent on here moaning about Vincent Tan, you've never done anything at all to actively oppose his ownership of club.Quote:

You both want the same things ultimately lads. New Year new me and all that, let’s all at least try to get along.
As I say I wish my posts reach the levels of importance that you think yours do.Quote:

I might boycott for a bit then come back. Not sure yet.
You evidently don't care enough, as you do nothing.Quote:

Not sure how bad things can get before some fans think it is time to act.
Getting rid of Morison and not giving him time to get the best out of the new signings has proven costly
Do you believe such things organise themselves?Quote:

After 26 games, the highest ranked of them is Middlesbrough, who are eighth. We all believed the Norwich result was a big one, but it turns out they're not very good and have been beaten nine times already.Quote:

The source being a delusional pine salesman though? Albeit a West Ham fan…..someone who at least has a clue how to run a club but why would he want more hassle with his millions in his latter years?Quote:

No idea. But its like going back 15-20 years. But as goats said it was put up on a wind up website and some appear to have picked up on it.Quote:

Baffling isn't it? Seeing loads of stuff on Twitter having a go at Hudson for not getting the most of the team as if they're all world beaters when many are clearly just not good enough for the level. Hudson's not doing particularly well but there's only so much you can do when the team just isn't up to itQuote:

The task for rebuilding the squad hot on the heels of throwing any kid who showed any promise into the first team squad was handed to the least experienced manager we have had at the club under Tan.
So we have the least experienced manager with the least money and arguably a fairly weak squad to start with tasked with producing a competitive team. It can't be a surprise to anybody.
Just take Cardiff City out the equation and suggest any club is doing that this season and this coming summer. Did the people in charge think we would fly up the table?
When the club needed stability they thought they would deliver that with a manager with next to no experience and give him next to nothing to build a squad.
We compounded this with the Hudson appointment.
We need stability and an experienced head to take us forward because, being polite, it does not come from above them.
Yes, it predates Hammam.Quote:

Even regulars like Allsop, is he a good player at this level? Probably average. Morison and co threw shit at the wall and hope some of it stuck. There is nothing to get excited about in this squad. Sawyers, Nkounkou, Ojo and Simpson are truly dreadful signings. Daley-Campbell is behind Sang. Rino is behind Ralls. Etete is a major project.Quote:

This season it was 1.1 points per game. Hudson now has 1.06 points per game. Both are dreadful managers but if we go down, and it is looking more and more likely, the blame firmly lies with Morison.
We are going down in the next 2 seasons. It is basically an inevitability unless someone from the youth team comes from nowhere. Next season we'll probably have Ipswich and Wednesday replacing garbage like Wigan and Rotherham. It's going to be a miracle if we survive with this squad, and that's assuming nobody good leaves.
