Not that I bare a grudge but

1/ West Ham being relegated has brought a smile to my face, and watching Everton play it looked like Spurs had given them a bung. Oh the irony Happy days

2/ and Leicester being relegated I still remember their cheating Bankruptcy that cost us and Warnock promotion

The only downer is Wednesday not being punished appropriately after stealing £80m from the community. They would have been relegated any way and now start next season without penalty. Hopefully Karma will kick in soon

Not that I'm really arsed about what the pigs did or didn't do,but how did they steal £80m from the community?

Oh , the pigs will get theirs , don't you worry.

Can't honestly say I particularly care all that much about West Ham being relegated. In terms of corruption what happened with us seems incredibly minor in that league and it was so long ago I can't say I particularly care. I suppose it was nice to at least see a fairly established prem club come down mind although you'd imagine thats the autots spot gone next season.

Having two world class players at your disposal, who you shouldn't have, then wilfully playing them, knowing you were lying about their registration, is not "incredibly minor."

Think they had £17 million just ‘written off’ by Coop Bank in 2010. And now I think another £8 million by only paying 25 p in £ to unsecured debtors(inc local businesses) in 2026. So they have effectively benefited to the tune of £25 million across their 2 takeovers at the expense of businesses & taxpayers.

Well it's hardly like anyone outside of this club or fan base gave much of a shit about it did they. Regardless of seriousness nothing really happened.

A lot happened.Any other take on that is simply not true.To trivialise West Ham's cheating, because of the passage of time, is unjust.

What is true is we remain cheated and a championship side while West Ham remained a prem side for many years more.

Relegation a year or two after then I maybe would have cared but now, meh. Can't bring myself to be that bothered about it.

I agree. Whilst we move on I think it's important to not forget.

Which is 25p in the pound more than said local businesses would usually get when opting to trade with literally any other insolvent company that isn't a football club, but anyway

Watching West Ham have the sould ripped out of it as a club has more than made up for any wrongdoing. Start badly and the athletics stadium will be half empty next season...

You really are a contrary poster aren't you. So your take is that local business's should be grateful for their 25p in the pound return? They weren't dealing with literally any other business though were they? What a strange view of the world, but anyway.

Yep true,but not 80m though ...
I personally think 3 administration entry's for any club should mean expulsion or demotion ..they're on two !

Technically they are only on one administration. They didn’t go into admin for the Co Op write off.

No BUT the powers that be said to dock them points "WOULDN'T BE FAIR ON THEIR FANS". What about our fans, did we not matter?
