If West ham aren’t careful they will be tip-toeing their way to the Championship. Maybe Curbs saw the looming credit crunch coming that has knocked the Hammers for six, and did a runner. We should have seen it coming. The squad was “trimmed” in the close season in an attempt to cut costs. West Ham are owned by an Icelandic banking consortium which have gone as bust as “XL” the club sponsor. I’m hearing rumours that we will need to sell more players in the January tranfer window. We have gone on a long losing run, have a new inexperienced manager, a list of chronically injured players, become a selling club and with a potential  pound 30 million fine for the Tevez affair, things are not looking good.
