All hope now with Nuno and Mendes to bring in instant fixes in Jan the worst time to recruit and Sullivan is clueless enough to think its just one position. Its the result of years of mismanagement of the club by Sullivan, Brady and Gold.  Recruitment has been the biggest, most costly symptom in so many ways but there are a host of others. 

I just think we will be too far adrift to recover even if Mendes brings in half the Portugal national team like he did at Wolves.  I think we will have less than 10 points at xmas

Didn’t Simon Jordan say a new stadium would cost £3bn

He's overexaggerating to try and prove his point but I call bollocks on it. He's going by north London prices and the mega build Spurs built with all the mod-cons.

No way would it cost what he says to build a new Football Stadium from scratch somewhere in east London. We know this already with the same poxy toxic Stadium we currently reside in and that's after an expensive renovation.

Championship football, with crowds of 30-40k in that soulless bowl, with about 20k being actual West Ham fans scattered about all over the shop, will be horrendous. So many of the old school have fucked it off, they won't come back for Preston at home.

To be honest, if you offered me now the chance to go to a 30,000 football stadium, with a guaranteed 5 years in the Championship as a trade off, I'd bite your hand off. The Prem has become MORIBUND, to quote Lenny.

Imagine that in the LS

 

 I reckon we'd get 40k easy. Imagine the novelty of going to watch us and not seeing us lose every week?

If /when we go down we could be proper fucked.  Our finances will be completely shot and we might not be coming back.  We'll start off with 40k at rhe ground which will be awful.  It will tail off until we're getting 25 or even 20k

Teams in the first season especially will love playing us.

I fear we go down, stay down and possibly go down again.

with no actual assets, this could mean the end of the club.  Coventry went down decades ago and almost ceased to exist due to in no small part the similar situation not owning their ground

I honestly think it would be less than 20,000 possibly closer to 10,000. Who the fuck wants to put up with all the shit currently at West Ham inside that hell hole? People would be well justified for turning their backs on that scenario. 

Ironically the first to fuck off will be all the Tourists mostly interested in the Prem/opposition but the loyal diehard support has already left in it's droves with some remaining. We drop however, I can't imagine many snapping up season tickets or caring all that much to go under the circumstances of what's they've done to the Club. The thought of it is horrendous.
