As West Ham fans you can be sure that nothing is ever­ simple, I run my own business and I believe that if I­ ran it the way WHUFC is run, well I would have folded­ years ago.
I am a realistic fan, I know we wont win the­ premiership, just good football, stay in the­ premiership and not to be treated like a mug will do­ for me.
If someone asks what period of football I have­ enjoyed at Upton Park, I still go back to Alan­ Devonshire, Ray Stewart, Billy Bonds, Big Alvin etc­ etc, we need the good times back, we have been a­ laughing stock for to long.
DUXBURY OUT, up the Hammers­ and lets get behind ZOLA and Clarke.

Duxbury the rotten part of the apple..

Why is Duxbury paying Joorabchian £2m a year as­ 'transfer advisor'? What has Joorabchian got­ on Duxbury?

This whole episode is a JOKE! I totally agree with all­ comments regarding the dodgy Duxbury dealings. I would­ love to know what this man is employed to do when the­ transfer window is NOT open, apart from fleece WHU!? I­ propose Duxbury is transferred out of the club and­ somebody with some FINANCIAL and FOOTBALL sense­ replaces him!!! IRONS!!

What does Duxbury care, he showed last year he has­ contempt for managers concerns for team when he sold­ Ferdinand and McCarthy and provoked Curbs resignation.­ Now he lets Savio go for £6m loss, sells Collins, - ­ and brings in probably ANOTHER two duds from Serie A. ­ I've no doubt Zola is as perplexed as you or I. he­ wanted Mancini or Chamakh as strikers, and didnt get­ either. Meanwhile homegrown talent like Kyrel Reid­ and Sears are put out on loan. Sears is scoring goals­ for Warnock instead of US!

what is it with the 9 mil he cost 5 mil rising too 9­ after certain app goals etc. thay got a defender and­ cash for him with a 50% sell on thay will make there­ money back . little peed off we never got another­ striker though

Im totally confused by this, we need a striker and they­ sell one. we dont need a dodgy defender we've got­ enough of them WHAT THE FUDGE IS HAPPENING.And where­ the fudge is ashton is he on holiday or what.

Are the Icelanders in on the dodgy deals? Why havnt­ they stepped in to stop Duxbury's dodgy­ doings?
Hammers got stuffed by Joorabchian and Sheff U­ over Tevez, and then Duxbury/Icelanders took­ Joorabchian on the payroll as a 'transfer­ advisor' !! The Icelanders say they want to see­ costs kept down, so why let Duxbury offload player who­ cost £9m in exchange for a defender who couldnt cut it­ in Seria A and was rejected by two clubs? Suspend­ Duxbury and his deal, pending investigation of­ Duxbury's motives.
Zola has a history of NOT giving­ up on players (Cole etc), he could have made something­ of Savio and made it pay for Hammers. Once again we­ see the 'businessmen' screwing things up.

well we all know about west ham and the players they­ buy and sell lets be fair chelsea and spurs the same­ only clever guy here is arsene but they won nothing for­ 5 years anyway west ham dont need to worry about buying­ and selling as there manager and coach the great stevie­ clarke will do them proud

ANOTHER DODGY DEAL!! SOMETHING STINKS WITH THIS SAVIO­ SWAP!! WHY THE HELL PAY £9M FOR A STRIKER THEN SWAP­ HIM A FEW MONTHS LATER FOR A MEDIOCRE DEFENDER???

Quite agree with all the anti Duxbury talk...get rid­ now.
Will be sad to see 'Ginge' go, think hes­ the best CB we have, always gives 100% and gets stuck­ in.Why not let 'Gabbo' go, if we must get rid­ of someone.

Cut costs - start by SACKING DODGY DUXBURY ! He­ has chanelled around £40m out of the club one way or­ another; the pay off to Sheff U over Tevez, £10m for­ Freddy Lundeberg's one year at Hammers, £9m for­ Savio who he now lets go in exchange for mediocre­ defender, not to mention his 'fees'. ­ Hanmmers CAN NOT AFFORD HIM - GET RID OF DUXBURY NOW­ !!

Duxbury is the one Hammers should be geting rid of, he­ cost us over Tevez affair, he cost us £10m over Freddy­ Lundeburg short 'Hammers career', and now £9m­ over Savio, SACK HIM !!!!

Sounds NUTS! Even if Savio not as good as they­ expected, to let him go like this for a mediocre­ defender who cant even look good in Italian league­ sounds completely nutty! Zola is not one to give up­ on players so easy, he gave Cole more than a good­ chance which eventually began to pay off, stuck with­ Boa Morte when everyone wanted to see the back of him. ­ WHY LET £9m GO SO EASY? IS SAVIO THAT BAD?

Duxbury's quote on the club site... policy to sell­ fringe players rather than first team regulars.

Great­ !! That means Collind and Upson are going NOWHERE Mr­ Duxbury !!

Secondly, why did we pay £9m for an­ unproven youngster who turned into a fringe player?­ FRINGE players usually cost bugger all !!

Failed to impress / he cost 9 million­ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dough ??

I wonder why has Savio played so little last year ? The­ fact they are willing to get rid of him obviously means­ he failed to impress so sending him out on loan is a­ good option.

I agree. Sounds odd letting a 9 million player leave in­ return for someone with a dodgy record. Hope it is not­ part of a big picture deal for Upson. All fans will be­ devastated if Upson is sold to balance the books.­ Things like that only happen whenever you are­ relegated! We are looking for a top 8 finish! Up the­ Irons.

LETTING A SRIKER GO AND SIGNING A DEFENDER DOSN'T­ LOOK GOOD FOR UPSON AND COLLINS, LET HOPE THEY KNOW­ WHAT THERE DOING.
