decision today? Sky have reporters at ground in light of speculation that the new owner(s) will be unveilled today?

Good luck to West Ham if Cellino will buy them. I wouldnt like my club to be owned by him, he is a crazy crazy man. The first thing he will do is to sack Gianfranco Zola.

The worst thing he would do is taking Allegri out of Italy to West Ham and several other players from Cagliari. They are a good team challenging for European qualification spot.

He can do what he wants at West Ham.

Rumour is that he will sack Zola and put in charge Daniele Arrigoni for this season.

I like Zola and think he is doing a fair job. Haven't had much of a budget to work with and still has created a team that plays attractive attacking football at times.
Hopefully he will stay.

**Zeman** · Jan 18 2010, 04:43 PM

If Cellino buy the club, Zola will be sacked regardless the results he has achieved just becase he had a fight with Cellino when he was at Cagliari.

caldape95 · Jan 18 2010, 05:37 PM

I don't see why he would fire Zola? He is doing a great job with the club. Sounds pointless to me.

Cellino was quoted in the papers here at the weekend praising Zola & his character off the pitch.

Looks like it's gonna be Gold.

yeah i agree with that. i hate west ham but respect them as a football club that have always bought through homegrown talent and played good attacking football. zola really couldnt have done much more with the team and budget hes got.

That's the Wolves survival confirmed then, him and Sullivan are publicity whores note they haven't shut up about us since they left and Gold trying to tout McLeish to Liverpool the cheeky cnut.

Them contributing to West 'we won the world cup we did' Hams relegation, would be the icing on the cake this season.

How can you want West Ham to go down as a neutral? They (try to) play great football and Zola is the nicest man ever. Add to that you have Hull, Blackburn, Bolton etc etc who are terrible to watch.

Nonedy · Jan 19 2010, 09:09 AM

Given David Sullivan's other interests and businesses, would be quite ironic if West Ham went down.

Everyone loves Zola, really nice guy, deserves some success imo.

So you think West Ham will get shafted by their new owners then?

Possibly, although they will have more penetration up front.

BigJTheplayer · Jan 19 2010, 10:57 AM

Seamingly got final takeover today, good news, West Ham have a good history and it would have been sad to see them not succeed.

BigJTheplayer · Jan 19 2010, 11:27 AM

I see sky sports have said Karen Brady will be a vice chairmen, think that is a good move as she has a good football brain on her, not always smart though but will do the best for West ham and its supporters.

Especially if they keep swing those balls in from behind.

Why do i want West Ham to go down ?, if we excuse my contempt for the new board as a bunch of liars as previously explained, West Ham always get undeserved favourable comments as the result of being the club of choice for many London Journo's while totally overlooking others whos achievements are in excess of them, that and their fans some dellusion of granduer thinking they are on a par with Arsenal when frankly Fulham has more of a claim to that as things stand.

'So you think West Ham will get shafted by their new owners then?'

Gaurenteed!, might take them beyond this season to realise but Gold & Sullivan are full of empty promises and that is why we turned on them.

The opposition will have to watch out for those big tackles.

I don't think Brum fans had any right to turn on them.

They dragged you up into the top flight after a long absence, ran the club on a very sound financial footing and then, after years of relative success by Birmingham's standards sold up to a richer consortium.

What else do you actually want? Realistically.

Maybe there were some empty promises about going to the next level or whatever but that was always going to be a very tough ask with Birmingham's support and turnover etc.

Red Devil · Jan 19 2010, 11:03 PM

Personally I couldn't care less who stays up or down as long as its not my team. But why a Brumistan fan should want them to be relegated because of the past is silly. Gold & Sullivan are east end boys who done good, and support West Ham, good luck to them, except against us! As I recall Brum fans were pleased to see them go, so why the turnaround?

Woah! You've got issues. A Millwall fan would struggle to generate that much pointless bile.
