Matchreporter ? How can you be so sure that West Ham are going down ? Yiddo, The 19th richest club in the entire English League is not in any form of debt that it has to worry about. Sam, We will not have a problem signing new players, believe me. We sold Joe Cole,Lampard,Carrick, and Defoe the last time we went down. Does it not make you wonder that with quality like that in any team is it possible to get relegated? You all know the answer of course. If we go down this season...... And the fat lady is not singing just yet.... We will get rid of some of the dross we are carrying and we wont be there for long.
