Let’s not forget Savio (or whatever his name was) hottest talent in the WORLD according to the OS at the time, we paid a tidy sum for the donkey as well 😂

Just as a bit of an outlier

We were told in 1993 when we moved to The 'New' Den that we would also have a world class team by Reg Burr our chairman.

All we got was loads of money being spunked a pub chain, and a Herbie Hide vs Michael Bentt Heaveyweight Boxing Match.

So a precedent has been set

Have you seen Sullivan’s sons? Be careful what you wish for.
A car crash involving them all?

here's hoping
Maybe that’s what Antonio was aiming for, shame his driving skills matched his football skills

I feel bad after writing this, Hopefully they live fruitful lives and cough up some serious dough to improve West Ham.

And sign a proper director of football and invest properly in the scouting and analyst department and stay the fuck away from interfeering in the transfer dealings!

So our owners didn't exactly break any promises eh?
Yeah but they're not world class anymore booo
