    Recruitment is about hiring on personality and attitude- even at the highest level- it was clear to me Sanchez and pogba will not work- it takes a certain kind of player to make it work in colder climates if they've lived in the warm- players that are obsessed with winning- messi would do well here

    Fair enough mate.

    No I wasn't after a ban, at that time I'd been put in touch with someone who had been asked to help a company with feasibility studies to do with the club. So I had some good info that I believed lead back to the Americans. I don't think they were called FPP at that point. Whoever it was had all kinds of things going on from looking at the whole image of the club. This was everything from the badge to the AOL to the area around the ground. It was obviously good info as they mentioned 'hot dog alley', Sheepfolds and the metro station. At the time it was really exciting stuff and I wanted to let people know whatever I'll could.

    The last thing I wanted was a ban, if I wanted 'out' I'd have just stopped posting.

    Chunky lover is quite funny, there are some genuine football fans on there like Eddie Hitler or gipetto etc - some cynical old ****ers in their 60s like but I'm becoming cynical as **** so I guess it's part of the journey

    Ok- I didn't know that - much clearer now - I have a contact in there who is very reliable- he categorically says that the Americans after their meetings with Donald were chatting in the academy of light foyer waiting for a lift - he said one of them said to the other ' they were that far from going under' and made an inch measure with his fingers - basically Donald took us on - helped us but could not run us- hence them waiting until Donald cracked - he also said they were waiting for cat1 status to be confirmed as a deal breaker if not

    West Ham fans wanted the board out well before Pellegrini was sacked. They haven't been happy with them since the move to the London Stadium. Most didn't want to leave Upton Park for the soulless bowl and the scrum through the shopping centre that happens after every game.

    They were only happy with the Pellegrini appointment because he wasn't Moyes. Lots still want Bilic back. He was their man. His sacking contributed to the discontent with the board.

    Those of us in our 70's witnessed the first ever relegation and have been kept in the fold by endless promises and references to ourselves as "a big club". Being where we are now gives us a rather valid reason for cynicism.

    Just seen this.

    Does it mean they're out of here, or does it mean they are taking over directly? Would they need FPP if they owned the club outright? I'll bow down to the company ownership experts on that one!
