Our owners

Okay, they have quite rightly been pilloried for the first few years at the OS, but leaving the universal hatred toward them aside - are they beginning to get things right?
Pellegrini was a disaster, as we all know. But he was handed significant fees, which he spunked up the wall, leaving WH with massive losses on Haller and Anderson. Oh, and Roberto, who cost us 12 points. . Not the board's fault. The majority of WHOers were excited by his appointment - just no one had any idea how far his Alzheimer's had kicked in.
Since Moyes has arrived for his second coming we've brought in Bowen, Benny, Fornals, Coufal, Soucek, and now three more internationals, in Zouma, Vlasic and Krul.
For years we've been a selling club, but now we're actually spending money to improve. Not something I've witnessed in my 50 years of claret and blue frustration.
Like the majority of you, I've wanted them out since the move turned into a joke. But I have to say, I'm reconsidering. Particularly now, when that PAI lot are trying to muscle in.
So, WHOers, this will make you gag, but does the board deserve some credit for where we are? Can you forgive them for their past discrepencies?

Siders
Can't agree more
Moyes has that nasty look about him, a cold edge, a nasty side to keep fuckers on their toes edge, yet balanced by seemingly having them wanting to work for him and then acknowledging when they do
I like that and concede that he appears to have the balance of old skool and modern man management - a rare commodity whilst surrounding himself with those to fit the backroom pegs ideally

Crass, I always got the feeling Slaven just wants to be your mate, whereas Moyes has looks to take a step back from that and leave it to the likes of Nolan to do all the matey stuff with the players.....just what I've noticed though not necessarily the case.

Strange thing to say perhaps, but I think the likable Slaven just did not have the minerals of Moyes, or maybe the motivation
He just wasted away in front of our eyes, looked distinctly unwell come the end and his team reflected it
I don't know, the Payet situation, shit behind the scenes with the board, the move, the emotion of leaving home, it all just came on top
Moyes though, roundly cunted just stood his ground stoically and has proven many, me included, wrong upon just about every level - bloke must be getting to the point where 'big clubs' will be watching him again
The Arsenal for starters .....
Fair play to the bloke

Yeah I liked Slaven, but Moyes is giving us this ethic/attitude that I fucking love. I just hope these signings keep him moving forwards and give him the options he needs.

Ham,
I agree two good years in a row would be something.
I hoped we would get that with Billic, I liked him a lot and was gutted when it went down the shitter for him.
This time seems real though. Moyes has a system that seems pretty fucking solid and he is getting the best out of several players so hopefully we can keep it going. This could be our finest hour and Moyesies shot at redemption for the way things went at Man U.
I’m quietly optimistic, hope I’m proven right!

Upton Park was home but I wasn’t happy about getting there, parking and then queuing for ages to get away, queuing to get through the Blackwall tunnel and back to civilisation.
If I went by train it took forever too - queuing for the tube was a nightmare as I don’t do queues.
It’s funny how I’ve rattled a few cages of our gobby ‘ultra’ fans that repeat things that just are irrelevant but untrue too....

Fair enough Ham.
I don’t have an opinion on the new stadium per se as I haven’t been.
I hear it’s not as bad as advertised. But I understand some of the angst against our owners.
I do however see progress being made in the field that I fucking love to see.
So for that alone I am truly thankful!
Long May it continue, happy days!

Boleyn ground many times. Been to plenty of away games too, on the inter city family rail card of course.
Unfortunately I haven’t been to the Olympic stadium yet. I did mention that in my post.
I’m what you might call an Armchair fan these days.
