Moyes has now turned into the Ravel Morrison of management everyone knows he has ut as they have seen the replays on you tube but he can't reproduce it for toffee now.
Don't want him after what happened
Justsaying
1. We play dire football until the end of the season
2. We go down
Whilst I respect your opinion I have to disagree purely based on my aspirations for the club which I wonder whether Slav and the 2 Davids can take us to. ;ok
You only have to read the comments from the owners of Leicester after sacking their manager to see what they expect and surely we are bigger than them?
And unless the Yank is moving to buy them out we are going to have the same owners for the foreseeable future.
On what basis are you saying we are not?
We won the World Cup you know. ;biggrin
In which case, fair enough ... but let me tweak your verb tenses to make them more accurate.
Thanks for ignoring the only serious part of my reply. Why are Leicester bigger than us? One season doesn't erase all previous history surely! Even my friends who are Leicester fans don't believe they are the bigger club. ;ok
You said we are bigger than Leicester. I asked how you worked that out?
You haven't answered.
Your reply has been to ask ME why I think they are a bigger club than WHU.
I never claimed that.
You can see why I am confused. ;whome
I haven't said anything since my first post...
When their new owner bought them in June last year he said his first priority was to get back into the Premier League, get into Europe and be bigger than Real Madrid.
He has ambition. They finished 13th.
Being ambitious is easy.......
I have always supported West Ham because they are West Ham not because they are 'bigger' (or not) than others.
Would I like them to be more successful?
Of course, but would they then be West Ham?

Two surveys which support my claim. I do appreciate we all have our own criteria so I respect you might believe differently.
The Talksport list doesn't give the formula they used to calculate the positions
re. criteria, yes... I think any claims that this club is 'bigger' than that club is pointless without specifying some kind of criteria for the calculation.
I'm interested that you like 2 different methods. And I notice that Wikilist is based just on 'honours won' while the Talksport list basically uses the wiki list and adds some other factors. Including number of 'followers' on various social media accounts ;doh
