As a West Ham fan, all I can say is no pressure then!, but In all honesty this move was a disaster of a deal not for the taxpayer but also for the fans too, I mean not many of us wanted to leave the Boleyn Ground anyway and especially not to that soulless corporate dome so I can only apologise if we do go down, but hopefully not.
I dont think we will be relegated, league is still relatively tight, reckon a 10th place finish or so.
The London stadium deal is a joke though and rubbish for us and London overall. Need to find a way to sell it to us (probably need new owners) so it is less of a liability to the City and we can make a proper stadium out of it.
This limbo of half football stadium, half athletics event stadium doesn’t work for anyone.
a price im very willing to pay
That’s like 50p per person, bargain
So, yet another BoJo White Elephant™
That’s like 28p per person. As a Spurs fan, I’d be happy to pay that each year.
In other words, let us beat you so we stay up or you’re not a patriot
It really is long overdue that the full details of the ~~collusion~~ deal between Alexander Boris De Pfeffel Johnson, UK Athletics and West Ham was opened up to proper scrutiny.
But of course, they’re probably locked in a filing cabinet encased in concrete at the bottom of the North Sea to prevent such a thing from ever happening.
Think of the party when they go up again next season.
They did in my current Football Manager 24 save but they are already back up and have stayed up.
So what is this adviser suggesting?? That a way be found to prevent West Ham’s relegation??
Why aren’t West Ham paying their own stewarding costs?? By the logic of this article, West Ham qualifying for the Champions League would also be costly for tax payers, because that too would lead to more home games.
So we should match fix then?
Its unfortunately the deal the LLDC made.
The choice at the time ended up being we take it with that deal or it becomes a white elephant and loses even more money.
If I recall correctly, Seb Coe wanted to retain it as an athletics stadium (despite no1 giving a shit about athletics outside of the Olympics) West Ham wanted to buy it and move in permanently and Spurs and Orient objected to this. The only deal that could be made was the current rental agreement and Karren Brady had the LLDC over a barrel.
If we had been allowed to buy it everyone would have been in a better position.
How much is the mayor of London costing London a year
That fat stupid cunt BoJo signed us up to subsidise a privately owned enterprise for 100 fucking years!?
Why was this not reported on front pages at the time?! There’s no way it can be enforceable.
Send Johnson the bill. He sanctioned that idiotic deal iirc

If this is the price we must pay, then so be it
