  • The Valley will always be known as this whatever name change it would be given.

    Ha ha ha Tim Sherwood new Swindon manager is the breaking news.

    Not even manager...
    Well he is in all but name.

    Current Swindon head coach Luke Williams said that Sherwood will "head up all aspects, including transfers, the way we play, the formations and the picking of the team"

    Sounds like a manager to me.
  • I know it's nothing to do with sponsors but when did the Boleyn ground become Upton Park?

    I see Brentford are changing there badge from next season. I wonder if there is a melt down on one of their forums on something that is actually happening instead of something that is just rumour
  • I think the only reason people considering a RB offer is due to have bad things have got under the current leadership.

    Under normal owner we wouldn't even considering this as a possible option.

    Sad how bad things have got.

    Sounds like Roland to me.
  • Would welcome investment, but no ground moves or name changes.

    If he walks like a manager and talks like a manager, he IS a manager !

    Quack quack !

  • With the £ falling daily and staying down owning a UK club (or buying a UK club) will be a cheap option for European or global owners in the future.

    Whatever Roland's losses are, they will be less in Euro terms as a result: therefore less reason for him to sell up, even if he were minded to do so.

    1 British Pound =1.26 US Dollar/1.16 Euro (Therefore it is currently on the up again...

    Redbull linked with a £200 million takeover of West Ham in today's paper

    Would you have a link? Gullivan have valued the club in the books at 400m so they must be getting rattled if there is any truth at all in that. And the BBC will want to be all over it for the upcoming Inside Out programme, re what it means for the taxpayer.

    I wouldn't rule this out at all as a story, but would like to see what the article really has.

    Difficult one, wouldn't want to be rebranded but would take being in the same position as RB Leipzig. But to be honest if we still had PV as our owner and not RD then none of us would consider this

    So David Gold says he is unaware of any communication, yet Sullivan's son says they turned down an offer. Mmmmmm, rather contradictory.

    "No desire to sell our heritage"

    Of course not. Your old man has done that already.



  • Not really West Ham anymore now they play in a new stadium in a different borough. Might as well go the full hog now they've sold out anyway! Stratford New Bulls!

    Assuming Red Bull did buy a club here, would they be allowed to change the name of a club? You look at the problems the Hull owner had in trying to change the name would they have to do similar to what they did with Leipzig?

    The only reason Gullivan were interested in us when Varney was touting us to them was the possibility to move us to the Peninsula, and make a quick buck that way. We have nothing to offer them now. In my view, mercifully.

    Still possible Prague, never say never ;).

    Although I would expect they would want to have flogged off London Stratford arenaand the Spammers to Red Bull first.

    He also used us to force the owners of WHU to sell to him.
