Just under 50% about 43% with the last 2 seasons being a bigger trapdoor for the promoted clubs. If it happens next season I think we cam conclusively say the gap is widening. People forget Brighton, Brentford, Bournemouth, Forest when they wheel out the impossible to stay up, the gaps too big...

Just did some number crunching on how promoted teams fare in their first PL season since 1992... It was a 56% survival rate - basically a coin flip Looked at all 32 seasons, 96 promoted teams total: 54 stayed up 42 went straight back down What usually happens: 2 out of 3 survive (most...

Sensible move and he leaves with his head held high having helped us into the playoffs, also moving to a decent club. We need quality this window with 2 or 3 Grimes esq (ability wise) starters and a couple of loans using Frank's contacts book.

Agree

For a team that wants to be at the top that forward line looks light. We need 4 strikers, ideally with one who can also cover the wing.

Suspect they agreed to pay his wages with immediate effect which would be net positive to the club.

Towards the end of the window I would agree. Maybe I am being foolishly optimistic but I am hoping we will sign players who are noticeably better than what we have I.e. Grimes was clearly a cut above Eccles, Allen etc in the role he plays for us than anyone else at the club.

I think we need to be looking for better players. Not that he is bad, but wingers and forwards (given the systems reliance on them) need to be where we invest in real quality Not padding out the squad.

To get anywhere near 90 would we not have to remove some seating!!

While I agree to an extent, if a club in Saudi or the USA 'wants' Hadji they could easily spend 15-18 million on him, even as on option on the bench. He is also a USA international and the USA are hosting the World Cup next summer. These factors create premiums and for the Saudi league he would...

Sorry yes he is but that is the compensation the owners are expecting! https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/barry-fry-makes-intriguing-kwame-poku-birmingham-city-switch-claim-as-peterborough-exit-nears/

Seems they want 10 million for him too!!

I suspect Binks, Lati, Bidwell, Simms and maybe Wright would also be in the 'avaliable for transfer category'

They moved them in by about 8 feet. I have seen an image and they are so close it would not surprise me if someone collided with them.

A top notch player would surely be starting in our team? Seems Frank has both Torp and Allen ahead of him ability wise. Eccles seems a great lad and I would not begrudge him a move to Stoke etc as he needs to play to reach his potential.

Based on my rough maths evening games thus season account for 31.3% of all matches but 45% of all losses and at home there was a dramatic drop in home performance during evening games - the win rate falls by more than two-thirds compared to daytime home games (from 63.2% to about 20.0%)...

Looking at our results across the season. Is there any logical reason we have lost the majority of our games in evening matches, both home and away? Tuesday is a one off game but if you have a look through there is a pattern!

They might but Frank surely wants to win more games than he loses? He has been an under the microscope manager at Everton and Chelsea, and West Ham is the sort of place where unless he is in the top half playing well his job will be on the line quite quickly! SOME West ham fans are some of the...

I think Rudi and Frank are committed to our promotion ambitions next season, should we fall short this campaign. What truly baffles me is the persistent pessimism from some supporters who fail to recognise our club's tremendous assets and strengths, one of which is the fans. This mindset seems...
