West Ham are complete failures! Let's all laugh at 'em!

There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

They offer £40k pw to the ordinary and for the Henry's and van Nistelhorse's some staggering amounts.

It's as if they haven't got any financial woes.

There are 3 options ... either
1. they are (or think they are) on a promise re.moving into the Olympic & selling the ground Stadium.
2. they are trading the family silver for short-term glory ... as per Leeds.
3. they are fecking eejits on an ego trip (which is more or less the same as 2)
4. I don't think there is a '4', to be honest.

It's not even as though they can be in any illusion about the saleability of the club as Egg-man found. The average East Ender lives in such a fantasy world that they may be of the opinion that they can dig (another) big financial hole & that someone will come in for them, so wtf.

Bring it on, I think, as these guys are on the road to hell.
Perhaps, they're fecked and they know they're fecked.. They may be trying to get any Tim, Dick, or Harry to sign for them, who they think could be half decent enough to ensure they're 10 or more points ahead of the relegation places by February / March.. Then, they'll put the club into Administration, wiping off half of the debt and starting from scratch worry free!
Ah, ha, Moriatry. Very cunning.

Maybe this is Option 4, of my 3 option plan !!

I don't know if there were faxes in the pockets of Gold and Sullivan on this one, but if you make it public knowledge that your cap's in the ring for Riquelme and then bid him in the bollocks by £20K a week, it suggests that there might have been.

Anyway, he's told them to stuff it and has signed a new four-year-deal with Boca Juniors. That said, I'm not sure I'd be too happy if it was us handing out four-year-deals to 31 year olds.

The hand of 'appy 'Arry is all over this one .... Wet Spam say EVERY player in their squad if available for sale ... except Scott Parker. There are few bidders for any of them until now. One has just come in, from Spurs, for ...... Scott Parker !!
West Ham have rejected a bid from Tottenham for midfielder Scott Parker.

The 29-year-old England international, who has three years left on his contract, has been linked with a move away from Upton Park.

But Hammers chairman David Sullivan told the club website that Parker is not for sale at any price.

"I made a promise that I would not sell Scott and I will not, for any amount of money, break that promise to the West Ham supporters," he said.

"Scott is not for sale at any price, to anyone. West Ham supporters, for far too long, have had owners that sell their best players and promise one thing and do another.

"This is a new era. We are building a bigger, better West Ham and when we make a promise, we honour it."

Hammers vice-chairman Karren Brady told BBC London 94.9: "The club has been run into the ground and has a huge hole of debt.

"If we get an offer for a player we'd have to look at it with the exception of Scott Parker.

"He's the player that the supporters want to keep, he's the one they want to see here next year, he's the one they believe is worthy of them parting with their season ticket money."

Yep, while everyone else is asked to talke a pay cut ... except the new ones they sign at £4m, £8m & £12m a pop.

Welcome to the wacky-wacky world of Wet Spam.

If there's a squad number cap of 25 plus babies, fck they're going to have a lot of guys without a squad number down there.

See it's all West Ham's fault - not Spurs tapping Parker up.....





Harry Redknapp defends Spurs' pursuit of Scott Parker

Parker played in West Ham's friendly win over MK Dons on Wednesday
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has defended Spurs' pursuit of West Ham's Scott Parker insisting the Hammers are guilty of unsettling the midfielder.

Hammers chairman David Sullivan this week claimed he was "very angry" with Spurs for unsettling Parker.

Redknapp is adamant Tottenham have done nothing wrong, suggesting West Ham making his approach public would have done more to affect the player's mind.

"Who made it public that we made an offer?" said Redknapp.

Sullivan insisted England international Parker, who has three years remaining on his contract, was not for sale at any price following Spurs' £7m bid.

The club also issued a statement saying: "We informed Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy prior to him making the offer that we would not welcome any approach to unsettle the player."

Tottenham may now improve their offer as Redknapp looks to strengthen his midfield options ahead of the new season.


And he says the club were perfectly entitled to bid for the 29-year-old, who began his career at Charlton Athletic before moving on to Chelsea and Newcastle United.

"You can make an offer for a player if you want to. You can make an offer for anybody," added Redknapp.

"I'm sure the chairman [Levy] must have got some encouragement or he wouldn't have made an offer. So I'm not sure the full story has been told about that one.

"The chairman wouldn't have made an offer unless he thought there was a chance that they wanted to do something."

Redknapp also confirmed he would still like to bring Manchester City striker Craig Bellamy to White Hart Lane but was far from certain a deal could be done.

"I like Craig Bellamy but I don't know if they would sell him," said Redknapp following Tottenham's 4-1 home defeat by Villarreal on Thursday.

"The chairman deals with all the transfers. He asks me what I want and I tell him. I don't know where he's at with Bellamy, if anywhere."
What goes around may still come around

Harry Redknapp. Daniel Levy. David Sullivan. David Gold. West Ham. Tottenham Hotspur.

It's like one of those morality plays where you have to put in reverse order of despicability.

Never.

'Redknapp, a former West Ham manager (on Parker's omission from the WC squad), said: 'They tell me Scott trained fantastically every day in training and could not have done any more.'

Then Jamie Redknapp actually took a holiday with Parker and Lampard earlier this month...
