Hammers may very well emerge as the spectre at the feast for City etc. over the next decade.
If ever a club was trussed up and ready for a Mansoor or Abramovich style takeover it is they.

Good post mate ... The choice of our new manager could be the biggest decision in the clubs history . It is so important that we choose the right man who can attract players and also play the right brand of winning football . We also need to act quickly though to stop all of the speculation regarding our players moving on and also to stop some of the comments coming out of said players camps. I am quite excited at the moment for the future and feel that any players that don't want to be there should be sold to the highest bidder so our new manager can rebuild a squad that will all be proud to wear the blue jersey . I think Mr Moshri will do this correctly and will make the right calls . Here's hoping !!!!
Understand your feelings about the supporters may not have much patience if we don't fly out of the blocks but I don't think that will pan out for the most part.
I think it was the clear lack of plan b in the overwhelming face of common sense under Martinez that boiled over.
If the new manager gets it wrong now and again I don't see the masses jumping on him as long as we see potential. It was the apathy with trying to do the same thing week in week out that drove people nuts the season just gone. We couldn't take it any longer.
A new man with fresh impetus and drive will be forgiven the odd blip, no worries.
Chin up, chest out.

But they have the spending power of any other of those ten teams where as Leicester 'just' avoided relegation the season before and there squad cost only 25mil, the value of one player from the said 10 teams. Can you really see Sunderland winning the prem next season?
but Leicester didn't win it because of money, they won it because there squad had the best balance.
no Sunderland won't win it because they don't have a great squad, it's unbalanced and lacking quality. But that's not to say on 4-5 years if they get the right signings and have top youth coming through that they couldn't challenge and that goes for anyone.
the days of the top 4 being a closed shop are long gone imo, sure we may still see the likes of Chelsea, City win it but there will be a couple of teams I reckon each season who will surprise people when they finish in the top 4.
Also the season before, yeah Leicester did just about avoid relegation but check out their results in the final run in, they hit some amazing form with 10 games to go and carried that momentum through to last season.

I know and that's what I said, a bargain basement squad/relegation certs.
With Leicester City winning the Premiership might just be on the cusp of a change. TV money will allow "lesser" clubs some clout in the transfer market. We have seen ow one or two good buys can kick start a team, e.g. West Ham.
That is why we need to get the appointment of a new manager right. The next few years and probably longer depend on it. He needs to bring some success but can't put the club into hock to achieve short term success.
While I am concerned it seems to be talking an age to sort a manager out and the absence of one is, no doubt, having a negative effect on things I am happy we seem to be putting some thought into it.
Get the new manager correct and success will follow, we can't afford another Martinez.

It's not possible there's two of them, surely?

I'd be happy enough just to see evidence that the new regime is trying.
Three years without a first team purchase wasn't trying.
Kirkby wasn't trying.
Kitbag and Chang weren't trying.
Letting managers and senior players dictate the club's ambitions wasn't trying.
Start putting the effort in to make the club as competitive as it can be, and the rest will follow in due course.
