It's a long day.
Yeah, I mean, I think it's been on the cards for West Ham ever since they got rid of David Moyes.
I guess after that trophy and they sold Declan and their recruitment after that, I think it's been really, really poor.
39 points on so many seasons would have been enough to keep you up, but not this season.
I think they had a real push, didn't they, about a month ago in the last sort of three games other than today.
I think there was only one goal.
No points after they've given themselves a really good opportunity, but too little too late, I guess.
And as much as it will hurt them and obviously hurt their fans, and it's a huge thing to take.
I've been there myself with Newcastle.
It's horrible.
But we've always said whatever happens at the top of the club always filters its way down to the football pitch.
And I think that's what's happened with West Ham because their recruitment has been really poor.
Well, you know how great Rich is, Richard Hughes.
Editor, sorry, editor.
He's brilliant.
He's incredible.
So I was talking to him before and he gave me a stat about since David Moyes has left, I think there's been 10 players that have cost either 25 million or more since David Moyes has left.
And I think four of them are out on loan.
so that tells you in terms of the recruitment how important that is you live or die by your recruitment you're not telling me that all those managers or coaches that have been at West Ham have chosen all those players no chance
they're usually sacked I mean yeah exactly they should I think they should really stick now though with Nuno do you I mean well if he wants to stay there I mean that's that's a thing as well I mean good performance at the end 3-0 win if he wants to stay I mean he's I guess the thing for West Ham now is is that what have they got in terms of debts who can they sell I mean I look at that team or that squad
