Comments on: Lucas Neill to be Offloaded? http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2009/01/02/lucas-neill-to-be-offloaded/ Iain Dale's Hammers Diary Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:13:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Redkipper http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2009/01/02/lucas-neill-to-be-offloaded/comment-page-1/#comment-13021 Redkipper Sat, 03 Jan 2009 18:53:24 +0000 http://westham.wordpress.com/?p=807#comment-13021 I'v seen Neill play an number of times and he's slow on the turn, gets caught out off position, always pulls the shirt of opposition players, is quite good going forward. In short, he's a very poor defending player who has cost us number of points this season. Happy to see him go. I understand he's on 60K aweek, so I'm sure we can move him on - get a better replacement for less cost. Pleased for Zola and Clark, I hope it goes well for them for the rest of the season. COYI.

That defence is really solid and any January sales that weaken it are ill advised. I do not believe it myself, just as I do not believe that he is on 80k a week either! More tabloid nonsense about our great club. No, I would not sell Neill in January. That defence is really solid and any January sales that weaken it are ill advised.

Hansa Holdings is not the affiliate of the PL, West Ham Utd PLC is! This was confirmed by the PL itself when the Icelandic court hearing was first reported some weeks back. Indeed, the PL allegedly contacted the club to check that the finances of West Ham Utd PLC were ok and that there was no future administration issue forthcoming. The PL were satisfied with the clubs response, end of! Someone at the Guardian has just stumbled across an old story and tried to give it new legs. However, it has now started a bandwagon and we all know how our rubbish popular press love one of those! It is just wishful thinking on their part, you can anticipate their vindictive and illogical logic now, Hammers get their just deserts that they should have received when they unfairly relegated (according to them) their mates at Sheffield Utd!!!! The press are totally unethical, but have you noticed how they love to moralise about issues, taking an holier than thou attitude. Remember all the columns of ink wasted by tabloid hacks displaying their ignorance of the facts of the Tevez case and reaching the same irrational and stupid conclusion that the Hammers should have been punished twice for the same offence and relegated in the blunts place. Never take a lesson in morality from a tabloid hack! lol. The arbitration and point deduction claims in the Guardian are nonsense. Hansa Holdings is not the affiliate of the PL, West Ham Utd PLC is!

As for Linda I think Ilunga has been excellent! Both positions sufficiently covered imo. No one replaced Ferdinand but Collins has been excellent so Ferdi isn’t missed imo.

However, this is not good for BG. If the club looks vulnerable or weaker in any way, this will drag the price of the club down (even from £130mil) and having just gone through administration myself, this is the last thing he will want. So surely, keep your dressing room stable (its not what we think of Neill, but what the team think!), raise £8 mil from fringe players ( Quarshie, Davenport, Faubert +), buy one decent name and given our 10th place we're looking pretty good for selling!

Question for everyone Will anyone buy us at present? or is is better for buyers to wait until we go into administration, which is R.I.P for us. I'm a little confused!!!! Iain can you shed any light on this for me? Agree with D & G selling now is crazy.

Which would mean that the ball will be firmly in the buyers court when the sell finally happens. I think BG can forget about the 250million he wants, I reckon it will be closer to 130million. Anyway who cares if they don't find a buyer we will be starting next season with -9pts! That was interesting.
