If Sullivan was in a nightclub, he'd be too busy sneaking around looking up women's skirts, he is the right height to go undetected.

Spot on mate, How can you let a manager go without a clue who you’re going to get to take over?

Sullivan is up there with the Oystons of the football world, totally clueless.

If you feel so strongly about it, and given that the rest of us have failed so miserably, perhaps you could get off your arse and do something proactive instead of spending your time on message boards having a pop at others who have.

The tragedy of all this is that, with even half decent owners, we should be able to approach top quality managers without the expectation of being laughed out of the room.
Ok, we may not have won much, but West Ham is a well known club throughout Europe, we have some history, passionate fans, a big fan base, with thousands of course on the waiting list!!!
It comes to something when none of us will be remotely surprised if the likes of Pards or Mcclaren turn up instead of Ancelotti or Emery.

And despite our relative mediocrity and underperformance over time still the tenth most successful English side over the last half century or so by some measures.

Believe it or not sometimes all it needs is someone with the know how and contacts to get the ball rolling, that isn't me, I wished it was but it isn't.
You and others on social media have had years of building up networks thats at your deposal, that’s what I'm frustrated at, people need to get behind something and that something isn't there.

If you feel so strongly about Sullivan and I can't get of my arse to do something proactive then maybe you could sort something out instead of having polls on if we want Moyes or not.

KUMB have been actively (and publicly) involved in all recent goings on from meeting with the board to put across supporters views and throwing in with RWHAG only to be let down as badly as others so I think you are a bit disingenuous there.

I understand that. I’m not questioning that, more questioning the fact how we haven’t driven them out yet.

Very Concerning that they are breaking their own promises of only 24 hours previously (Gold shouting don't panic Mr Sulliwaring no doubt) but the words in so doing, especially that classic 'will leave no stone unturned' show they have leaned nothing from their previous much criticised meanderings. Which equally displays they don't see they are making mistakes as that 'exciting future' bs amply displays. They really do swing between desperation to get the fans on their side to total contempt for them within moments they are so detached from realities, but then I guess it's like any morally corupt leader fearing the mob so trying to placate them just enough go save their own skin. Small men exude this quality particularly enthusiastically in that diarrhea sort of way.

I thought from the start that Sullivan thinks he can get benitez. The problem is what happens if he can't? Plan B was to tell Moyes that he's been chosen from the shortlist, but Moyes tumbled that and told him to **** off. Interestingly though Newcastle have stated that they 'Are confident Rafa Benitez will be staying at the club'. That sounds like he's off to me. I'm sure it will be somewhere other than West Ham though

I never thought Rafa was leaving the Geordies, I'm sure it's a well placed carrot for Sully to bite at, that forces Ashley and the takeovers hand, in regard to telling Rafa what's going on and promising a wedge both personally and for recruitment......

well if you did it was'nt well promoted as I've not seen anything that you've tried to arrange, shame as I would've been all over a demo arranged by KUMB.

The support is looking for a demo that can be arranged by the social media people, they have the contacts and followers to rally the numbers and get the press involved.

WHUISA was very quick to call a vote of no confidence on Brady but not quick enough to spot an opportunity to get a demo going at 2 dead rubber games.
