Obviously exploring the possibility of licencing an exact copy of our Rush Green training ground in order to upgrade the accommodation they offer the majority of their immigrant workers.

Sullivan clearly exploring every avenue to prove his cash flow strategy "works".

ginger sex case, I hated his football. I couldn't give a fuck about the dour bloke, or his personality which pretty much duplicated him on the field. you moyes cult members completely disregard the final two seasons under him, where we lost twenty league games, then almost conceded two goals a game (all the while sitting back, letting the other team have the fucking ball). I've never known 'fans' idolize such a negative manager, but you cunts carry on doing it close to two years down the line. it's amazing

there will be no new owners because Sullivan wont be selling us a as a championship outfit. He'll be doubling down to try and get us promoted first. That's why it was important to stay up this season and we are having a laugh if we think we can bounce straight back with that squad with this (or any other Sullivan choice of) manager and with this owner.

Coventry, Sheffield Weds, Birmingham, Bolton, Southampton to name a few....the lower leagues are littered with fallen giants, we're no bigger or better or have a right to be any different, so yes barring a remarkable rebuilding then a few seasons out of the top tier beckon I think, and its no more than we deserve.

Not that Moyes was blameless on the decision making but in the conveyer belt of striker disasters, I see that Brian Brobbey who was deemed from memory not brave enough of the Premier League is proving to be a real handful afterall. 

The one I’m always surprised we didn’t spot in our spell of chucking £25-45m on strikers is Evanilson. Can’t recall seeing a more West Ham player. Runs all day, quick, clever movement. Quite similar to Bellamy.  Would have been perfect for Moyes.
