Appearances
The Premier League now, basically, there are occasional teams,
who were a little bit chaotic, who kind of do mad things.
Nottingham Forest aren't the most reliable, and it looks like Man United have made a sensible appointment in Carrick, but they've done a few kind of weird things in the last few years.
West Ham have had this incredible gift
of being in the Premier League for 14 years.
Basically, one or two years where they've been kind of good to watch and they've had a push up towards sixth or seventh or obviously the conference they'd win.
But basically, they've finished mid-table.
They've never really looked like they're trying that hard.
They've never had a kind of coherent plan like Bournemouth or Brentford or Brighton as the three teams that we tend to look at.
They've never shown the ambition of Sunderland or Aston Villa.
They've never shown the kind of wherewithal or the nous of Crystal Palace.
They've just sort of sat there.
They've earned over a billion pounds in television revenue.
And they have fritted it all away on a succession of ridiculous sign-ins.
They sold Detland Rice for 105 million pounds.
What do they do with that money?
That's transformational money.
That is money that you can reinvest into your squad and kick on.
West Ham blew it.
What have they done with the television money they've got?
