Bluerevolution Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 At least West Ham are doing the decent thing for the 2nd leg and not ripping the fans off, really reasonably priced tickets.

It looks like Sullivan/Gold are spineless (irrespective of cost to get rid of him).

Otta Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 BBC Website"West Ham manager Sam Allardyce retains the backing of the club's owners despite the humiliating League Cup semi-final defeat by Manchester City. BBC Sport has learned that David Gold and David Sullivan were not swayed by the result at the Etihad, despite large sections of the travelling support appearing to turn on the manager. West Ham continue to work hard in the transfer market and are hopeful of adding two or three new players in the coming days. The first arrival could yet be Monaco striker Lacina Traore, who could arrive on loan if he is granted a work permit at a hearing next Monday."It's strange, I generally want clubs to give managers time, and stick with them rather than sacking them after a few bad results, but in this case, he just looks so out of touch with reality.

Maybe the Board think these are mitigating circumstances to at least wait until some of the injured players come back and see if that makes a difference...

maxxi Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 You're right RD but the problems started a long long time before the injuries - right about when Downing was signed and no striker was.I feel too that Cardiff is last chance but worry that - by law of averages or Cardiff having a bad day - a win will prolong the agony - and yet I want a win - and yet that'll keep him at the club - but I want a win - it's a footy catch 22. I accept a new man may not keep us up but at least the rebuild could start earlier.'bout now's earlier post sums it up for me.'bout now Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> I don't know what to say and quite frankly I'm at> the point of not caring.
