The alternate view

|
Why is it that the board haters, marchers, protesters, call them what you like are so aggressive to anyone with a different point of view. I personally can see lots of reasons why so many are against the board but what I cannot accept is calling critics cunts, arse lickers, mugs etc. Anti board protesters will never win the majority of fans over by violence, bullying and bringing the club into disrepute.
I fully expect my fair share of abuse from this so bring it on. But remember that not all West Ham fans share your views and that does not mean that they are any the less a West Ham fan than you.

what violence? the first bit of violence yesterday was from our captain, which then encouraged a load of like minded cunts to beat up these three (THREE) fans as they left the pitch. the problem is old geezer, is people like you who have been going a long time who are all too pleased to be spoon fed shit from our worst owners ever

The pro board lot are far more hysterical with their outpourings, banging on about ground closures & points deductions.

......and notice I never called you a cunt, arse licker or mug, and the only bullying I've seen in the last week is from the cunts who ran away from the p!anned march and the violent board lovers who punched the protesters

From my experiences there is no pro Board support around where I sit. It is more a case of varying levels of dislike/distrust of our owners. Some rabid fans cannot seem to get their heads around the fact that it is possible to be OK with the stadium move but still thoroughly dissatisfied with the lies and profiteering of the owners.

They sold the Boleyn rather than redevelop it.
I will always hate them for that.

The question is why would anyone with a degree of sanity stick up for 2 crooks and a tacky tart who are openly fleecing the club you claim to support?

The issue with your argument, is that it has only reached this point because of the 'bullying' and hysterical outpourings of the pro board lot.
Before the move - anyone who pointed out the obvious flaws in the stadium were banned by the likes of KUMB and claret & Hugh
Last season - see above
The meeting at Sullivan's house- cancelled on the basis of claret and Hugh having a meltdown about Sullivan talking to alleged icf members
The march- cancelled, fuck knows why, but on the back of an unseemly intervention by the board
They, and those that support them, try to run this club like North Korea. Yesterday was just the start of it blowing up in their faces. I hope it continues and gets more and more aggressive

Boards come and go.
Managers come and go.
Players come and go.
The support is permanent.
What makes this so sickening this time is the divisiveness between the fans. Not everyone is going to have the same opinion, but arguing amongst ourselves is not the answer.
We are in a really toxic, shitty situation and need to stick together like never before. Vent your frustrations at the people who have got us into this mess and not each other.

Sadly I'm not sure these are the worst owners ever.
Terry Brown was even worse.

How was Terry Brown worse Infidel?
I was a season ticket holder all of the Redknapp era and didn't really understand why he was so despised. OK. There is some justification over the bond scheme but most of the time he financed WH as much as he could manage.
That meant we were a selling club most of the time but I always thought his hatred by fans was as unreasonable as that for Frank Lampard Junior.

Old geezer, being called names is par for the course on WHO. I don’t know why you’ve suddenly noticed it. Probably everyone on here has been called a cunt at one time or another.
It’s a very different kettle of fish from, say, physically threatening people for wanting to protest, which you haven’t said anything about.

Cearns and Brown made some unpopular decisions in their time and as well as the Bond scheme I certainly didn't like their treatment of many a legend like Bobby Moore or John Lyall however where they differed to this lot was that they generally kept their mouths shut and I can't remember any grandiose promises being made and then not followed through.

The board.haters are a comically immature, illiterate and profoundly pathetic group of thugs as could be invented . They are protesting: but don’t know why. Everyone who disagrees with this or that aspect of their viewpoint, in so far as it coheres is a fool or loves the board. After 35 plus yrs, of relentless negativity, I have had enough I will go to mill wall, Spurs or Chelsea where in 35 yrs they have, to my knowledge, never once behaved this way. And btw, millwall has been run by crooks. All owners exist to fleece the supporters unless I am mistaken or you have evidence to the contrary. Football is an overpriced overhyped product so...
Here is to the happy clapper plastic fans. I would rather be with them, than rub shoulders with the underclass.

Cearns family invested little, treated Moore poorly and were despicable to Lyall. But they DID stop Sullivan and Gold buying the club from them.
Brown did NOT finance the club as best he could. He did it on a shoestring and only spent when he HAD to. Buying Kitson and Hartson being an example. He mostly sold. He also bought the club, with an interest free loan FROM the club.
Then there was the ‘no fire sale’ of players promise. Followed immediately by a gutting of the playing staff. Anyone who could be sold, was.
He then sold us to a billionaire without a pot to piss in.
We then had ‘the project’ which was a euphemism for selling anything worth selling and lying about the reasons for player departures.
Swiftly followed by the fuckwit threesome. Spend as little as possible. Promise the earth and deliver nothing except profit for themselves.
I agree about the fans arguing amongst themselves. But things have polarised so much, I can’t see it happening.

'Not everyone is going to have the same opinion, but arguing amongst ourselves is not the answer.'
Arguing is fine, mate, It's what the game is all about and why I don't want video refs.
Threatening violence against fellow West Ham fans because they disagree with you is where the line is crossed. You may think the other fellow is a cretin but you have to accept that he also wants the best for his club. Once you accept that, it all gets a bit less heated.

So what is your view OG? You don't seem to have stated it. It rather cancels out your rant if nobody knows what you're going on about.
