Relegation battle thread
Once a Hammer etc. You can’t shake it off although they have a lot to answer for. I got engaged to my wife at Geoff Hurst’s testimonial dinner in 1970 and we’ve now been married 54 years and I can’t shake her off either. -

Relegation battle thread
I’m completely with you Slacker. Born in West Ham before the war, Watched from my Dad’s shoulders until I got too big, when he then made me a folding stand. Always in the Chicken Run with its memorable smell of beer and tobacco. The noise under that tin roof was something else. Yes, I’ll support them in the Champo too. We might begin to win more games than we lose, and that would be a lovely change! -
Relegation battle thread
Whatever happens this is my club as it has been for a long, long time and I will continue the agony ( and very occasional ecstasy) albeit from my armchair these days.Once it’s in the blood there’s no going back.

Maybe he's Vishnu
God of Preservation (he'll preserve our top flight status)
Restorer of Order (we belong in the top flight)
The Protector of Good (we're better than Spurs)
Bestower of Karma (they deserve to go down)

2026 Summer Transfer Speculation
I think I read somewhere that our players have clauses to reduce their salaries 50% in the case of relegation.
Reported by Roshane Thomas at the Athletic/New York Times in JanuaryWest Ham United’s first-team squad have 50 per cent salary reduction clauses in their contracts in the event of relegation to the Championship.
A West Ham source, who asked to be kept anonymous to protect relationships, insists it is a stipulation the club have always inserted into players’ deals, but with West Ham in the relegation zone, the clause has made it harder to convince targets to join this window.

They did that with Demba Ba and he asked for a relegation release clause. -

2026 Summer Transfer Speculation
As horrible as our form is i dont think £100mil will be hard to find
£40mil Fernandes and £30mil for Bowen, which i think those fees are modest, gets us £70m not including Summerville who'd probably fetch something similar. Then you expect Taty, AWB, Tobido, Areola, Diouf, Pablo would all find homes even if not for signicant fees
