Am sure we can make up some reason why more wasn't spent.

Championship clubs spend more than us. In a way it would serve dgs right. get relegated and they lose money. I wish they stopped lining their own pockets and focused on us.

Have a guess who sully is blaming for the problems the staff in operation at the ground correct me if I'm wrong which I'm sure you will ED but surely that's partly down to him and his sidekicks knowing that there was quarenteed protests in the ground another cop out if you ask me the man is a master of letting people hang out to slaughter and reflecting the problems from him the man's a lying weasel and a hell of a lot of BRUMMIES have commented that they ruined there club too so we was warned. COYI.

The club are responsible for the policing and stewarding inside the stadium. The Metropolitan Police have a duty of care OUTSIDE the stadium. and if the club wants policing INSIDE, they have to pay for it. Stewards are cheaper so most clubs opt for no police in their stadiums. That's why there were no police at the demonstration on Saturday. The level of stewarding is the sole responsibility of the club who have to pay for them. The less stewards, the less payment.
Sorry, Mr Sullivan, but the buck stops with you.

{Ed002's Note - No. The stadium owners employ the stewards.}

Perhaps more interestingly net spend over the last three windows appears to be - £7.0m i. e. a profit - doesn't really point towards ambition on the part of the budget holders me thinks.

I may be wrong but when the move was completed the stadium owners did not want the old West Ham stewards involved at all, and very few wanted to work for the stadium owners as any views / experience they had was ignored .

ED002,
But the level of stewarding is included in the payment for the stadium. If the club want more stewards, they have to pay extra for them.

{Ed002's Note - The stewards are provided by LS whoever. Not by West Ham. You are embarrassing yourself by trying to throw everything on the owners - who for some reason you think count the number of stewards at the game. The fans keep talking about money they don't understand, contiunaully sput rubbish and are trying to substantiate the most appalling behavior which could well back fire on everyone.}

Sounds like your defending the owners ed, the fans behaviour was idiotic, embarrassing, ill advised etc etc. however it has been brought on buy the lies spouted by those in charge.

{Ed002's Note - All I am reading is posts about money that are wrong, and people making accusations that are unsubstantiated. It is not a case of defending anyone - except from the stupidity of monkey-hangers - which is what you are all turning in to.}

Please ed that is a thick brush to use, I don’t get involved in the financial stuff because I do know that football finance is not this simple thing of throwing monies in the air, the rules are complicated and that I do not know enough to comment on it .

{Ed002's Note - You have to be some sort of half wit if you think everything applies to everyone - it makes it near impossible to say anything in such cases. The West Ham fans intent on destroying everything (so not everyone) are speaking from a position of ignorance - as are large numbers of posters here. It makes them all look stupid and is rather embarrassing. Perhaps they should try and find someone to explain things to them properly so that they can have a little knowledge - and if they want to be taken seriously. Until then they are no more than an ignorant mob.}

Thought the point of this site was to air / share your views, where you seem to intent on venting. You seem to be in the ‘know’ and I don’t agree with any of the actions on Saturday, but I’m sorry the fundamental problem started with those in charge and their ‘vision ‘ of the clubs future. I’m sorry but that is the plan and simple truth here.

{Ed002's Note - Why are you whining about me. The fans are posting rubbish because they don't understand the finances or the situation at the club at all - and they have no interest in finding out. You have said nothing of substance at all and to you the problem is the "lies". Which lies are these? West Ham not being in the Champions League yet? Something else?}

Please let’s not pick on ed! The voice of reason and huge knowledge, I personally have learnt a huge amount from him on transfers and how clubs operate and have no desire to lose that input, the Ed’s only speak the truth even if painful to hear it’s still the truth, please let’s not get carried away with this .

{Ed002's Note - Thank you Jason. The problem is that unless the supporters arm themselves with some knowledge which is accurate they are no more than an ugly screaming mob seemingly upset at something they don't understand - hence the monkey-hangers reference.}

So as someone that seems to be ‘in the know’ are you saying that the owners are faultless? That they didn’t say they wanted champions league in 4 years? That they not responsible for the hiring/ firing of managers/ players? If you have knowledge of anything that sheds light on who’s fault the clubs current situation is then please share. ( and once again I do not condone what happened on Saturday nor do I agree with that form of protest) I have said in previous posts that if one has to be made then do it before or better still after a game!

{Ed002's Note - I can hardly make sense of your post - sentence by sentence: 1. I have not said anything of the sort. 2. This is not a sentence. 3. This is not a sentence. 3. I can answer some specific questions if you have any; and by Thursday evening I will be able to perhaps answer more, but I also have a flight to catch then. 5. Ok.}

Ed, spot on. As a Celtic man with an affinity for West Ham I can only imagine how the supporters feel moving from their spiritual home.

One thing no one can condone is the actions of those individuals on the park and in the stands which placed other supporters including kids in harms way.

As always the reaction on forums can be knee-jerk and some comments personal and without proper basis.

As Jason states above all of the Eds do a fab job and facilitate the forums very well. Keep up the good work.

C'mon you Hammers.

{Ed002's Note - Without doubt the move has been a major issue, not least due to the separation of the supporters from the playing area. But there did need to be something done in respect of the stadium and financially the deal the club has is an extremely good one. There needs to be some dialogue to try and do something to try and get another step or two ahead with it but the club has already hit a roadblock with both the owners and the local authorities regarding creating a sort of "Wembley Way" as the ground is approached.}

Hi all

I agree with Ed, all fans should get correct info before going on the rampage and embarrassing themselves, at the end of the day it is a business and they are more entitled to get a bit on their investments, if you guys who are complaining stump up £100,000 for me as I want to start up my business, you may get your money back in 10 years but it will only be £100,000! I am sure most of you would not invest but if you do please let me know. Anyway, to go on invading pitch so that we have to play behind closed doors will certainly help us out, mindless idiots who should go and sign on instead of going to the games!

Just to clarify I, at no point had a go at Ed. I was just stating that after reading he’s 1st statement I felt he was putting it all on the fans.
I also made comments to the ‘lies’ made by the 2 Daves, which for some reason didn’t make sense.
Was hoping for some answers/ dialogue on the subject however will now leave it alone as not to upset anyone ( this is not a sly dig, just drawing a line under it. )

{Ed002's Note - I didn’t realise these were the “Lisette” that the West Ham fans are accusing the owners of. Quite frankly you all have to be not only naive but absolutely stupid if you saw an over ambitious goal of being in the Champions League within for years as something you could hold them accountable for. That is laughingly stupid of the fans in all honesty if that is there beef. As for the second point, get me a quote as I really don’t understand what you are saying - it is far from clearly me.}
