After months of angry comments from fans,which clearly is understandable,the comments from Yoshi hit the nail on the head. The only person not blamed for the farce is thge outgoing Chairman T.Brown. He delayed the takeover,time and time again,and was also involved in the deals with both of the Argies. He must have seen,or heard of the players unrest,yet did nothing. The new chairman had no option but to change the Manager,yet he has been ridiculed by the media. The only light at the end of the tunnel is that we have a chaiman who cares,and will put his money where his mouth is. Most of the players will be sold,it is hoped that Ashton,Green,and Upson will stay. As a fan for fifty five years,this has been without doubt the worst season. But I will be there next season,and will encourage my children and grandchildren to do likewise. I support the club,and not the team.

Rubbish. The Argentinians and the takeover were not the reasons for WHU's demise. Players are paid to play whoever is in control of the club and whichever players are bought and sold. The problems within the squad were evident last season but were either over looked or dismissed by the manager because the team did well. The takeover has gone through and only Tevez of the two the Argentinians has played any part in matches. However, the problems continue. No one knows exactly what has gone on within the dressing room but what is clear is that players with big egos and big contracts to match have failed to deliver. When the clear out ( hopefully ) happens in the summmer there will not be a long que of Prem clubs wanting to sign our bunch of no hopers.

You are naive if you think people perform simply because they get paid. I have owned 3 companies in my life and can tell you performance is seldom connected to the cash people are earning. Cash is a reward in the future for past performance but a desire to succeed (status) and enjoyment of ones job are far bigger motivators, I promise you. There will always be big egos at the pinnacle of sport, it is in the nature of man. It is how those egos are managed. That is exactly why the arrival of the Argentinians could have such a bad effect in a dressing room. jester

Everyone is looking for a scapegoat for WH's troubles, and blaming the Argies is just one of many hooks to hang your coat on. There are many more issues here, some we know about and probably several we don't, that have all combined to strangle the managers and the players. Look deeper next time you're going to write an 'authoritative' article on something you obviously have only a passing knowledge of....

How on earth can the introduction of world class players be detrimental to the club? The main culprits are the players who thought they were untouchable, and were given huge contracts after 1 good season in the top division. It saddens me that Hammers fans think this way.
