WEST HAM UNITED SUPPORTERS CALL FOR BOARD OVERHAUL IN LIGHT OF RACISM ALLEGATION.
West Ham United supporters have condemned alleged comments made against African players attributed to Director of Football Tony Henry, and called for current owners David Sullivan and David Gold, to step down in light of the mismanagement of the Club.
Real West Ham Fans' Group member Bill Gardner said "Quite simply today's allegations represent a further nail in the coffin of the Gold and Sullivan administration. It has happened on their watch. We are outraged and bitterly disappointed to once again have West Ham United's good name dragged through the mud during the Gold and Sullivan administration. As is common knowledge, West Ham United has a proud history of nurturing and attracting young talent from a uniquely diverse community. Remarks attributed to Mr Henry today- should they be proven accurate- have no place at our Club, and flout those proud traditions."
Today's allegations follow continuing discontent and anger at the Club's mismanagement and failed promises to West Ham supporters following the much-maligned move to the London Stadium.
"It's the last straw" added Mr Gardner. "Fans already angry at the board's failure to engage in meaningful dialogue to resolves deep-rooted frustrations are outraged, and gravely concerned over the future direction of our beloved team."
"As a result, a march and demonstration will be held on 10th March to highlight and seek action over broken promises to supporters and the mismanagement of the Club. In addition, we will be asking Mr Gold and Mr Sullivan to consider their positions as owners."
"We contend they have both presided over, and fuelled, the deep and heartfelt discontent among thousands of loyal, paying fans for too long."

**BMC’s threat that the owners will continue to asset strip and eventually sell to the highest bidder if the supporters carry on Standing up for the club is chilling because it’s true. **
They are doing that anyway, why should we cower away from standing our ground?

The only flag this site has produced was the cringeworthy, creeping, incorrectly spelt
WHO says welcome the Dave's
or some such bollocks. We could spray paint FUCK OFF over the top of Welcome I suppose?

If this is the real you, ask yourself what your mate Oswald would do.
And then dis-mate him.
You know he'd be defending Henry.

This is nicely written and the owners will not be able to brush this off lightly.
I do feel that the "Dave's" are in above their heads. The crux of the problem is that they are living off the football club not investing money that has been earned elsewhere.
The last transfer window has seen them dither and wait for last minute bargains.
The successful clubs are backed by owners who have other businesses that channel funds into the club. Our owners have vacated the "adult market" and are 100% football club owners. They simply cannot afford to play in this league. It is time they sold to owners who can afford a seat at the table.

Nice piece of opportunism.
Get a dig in on the board and publicise the march. I like it.

"Go on the Chalton site and see if they would want to swap places with us."
what a ridiculous thing to say, I'm not a charlton supporter so I wouldn't give a flying fuck about their club and fans.
bmc why on earth would anyone give them 10m unless they were buying a stake in the club? third party ownership is illegal, so that would be like me giving 10m to a tramp.
so back to this dead cat/turd on a plate thing. you'd be happy to eat a dead cat because it's not as bad as a steaming pile of shit, right?

To sit back and watch them line their greedy pockets and do nothing is criminal, enough of this "we should be grateful" bollocks, they need to know they're taking the piss, it's our club! And it will still be our club when they've finally fucked off.
