would we be better off with mega rich owner

IF BG DOES SELL UP DO WE THINK WE WILL BE BETTER OFF AND WHAT WILL IT MEAN FOR OUR CLUB AND ACADEMY. I KNOW BG HAS LEFT US FEELING A BIT DECIEVED WITH WHAT HAPPENED OVER THE SUNDERLAND DEALINGS, BUT IN MY OPPINION THAT HAS ALL WORKED OUT VERY WELL FOR US IN MY OPPINION. ILLUNGA (HOPEFULLY WHOS SERVICES WE WILL MAKE PERMANANT)IS JUST AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN LINDA AND ANTON I WAS PLEASED TO SEE THE BACK OF!!. ALSO IT LED TO US APPOINTING ZOLA AND MORE IMPORTANTLY STEVE CLARKE. THE CLUB IS PROGRESSING NICELY AND I FEEL QUIETLY CONFIDENT THAT WE WILL DO WELL IN THIS TRANSFER WINDOW WITH GETTING RID OF SOME OF THE HANGERS ON. IF BG DOES SELL I HOPE TO GOD IT IS TO SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS OUR HISTORY AND TRADITIONS AND CARRYS ON WITH THE SAME POLOCIES. I PERSONNALY HOPE BG HANGS ON TO US AND WOULD HATE FOR US TO GET SOMEONE WHO HAD MORE MONEY THAN SENSE AND NOT CARE ABOUT DEVELOPMENT OF OUR YOUNGSTERS.

WE HAVE ALWAYS FACED ADVERSITY AND THATS WHAT GELS OUR CLUB PLAYERS AND FANS TOGETHER AND IS A MAJOR PART OF OUR HISTORY.

the prices we got for Linda and Ant were amazing, can't say we have missed them. NB Ant was also getting injured a lot

if you cant read the article why comment. Either way the author needs to check his posts especially if it's an article.

We need an owner to keep us afloat not one that will see us go into administration. As for a rich one it's always handy to have someone with a bit of money. But having a cash strapped owner, well its provided opportunities for our youngsters since there is no money to fund for players to come in. Which in all fairness has proven worthy, collison and noble have taken great strides and solidifying themselves into the first team and with a host of others behind them all looking prosperous for the future.

COYI!

BG has been good for us. We are lucky that he had so much cash that losing millions has just meant he has to be careful for a while. A lot of people in his position would have panicked and flogged us off to the highest bidder.
I believe him when he says he wants to build the club, and he has done nothing to make me change my opinion. He's a football man too, which is also good for the Hammers.
We need to have faith in him and see where it leads.

very true. look what is happening at city. michael johnson, a player who has a promising futre if he gets games is being used to get a player with proven ability. this shows they have no time to develop players and are looking for short term success. with BG tightning his belt, youngsters have had a chance and will continue to do so. clubs like us help produce british talent which is not only good west ham, but for the national team as well. if more clubs opperated in this mannor, capello would have one hell of a headache picking the england team with 4 or 5 players from each club potential squad members.

you would we better of with simply a new owner with a bit of cash now considering you're two months away from administration. Hope you do get a new owner though, would be better for the league.
