it's time for this club to put it's money where it's mouth is... no more half measures, no more settling, no more making money hand - over-fist with little to show for it, no more excuses and no more hiding behind the idea that this is «
small» club that can't compete with the «big boys»... the only real difference between them and us is what the manager demands and what the owner is willing to give... we play in the
League with the richest tv contract in Europe, we have one of the largest home venues with some of the highest ticket
prices on the continent, we have several major corporate sponsors, we have one of the largest fan bases in the World whom purchase a ridiculous amount of merchandise, we rake in coin on tour each and every preseason and we have banked countless millions from qualifying for and participating in various competitions
at home and abroad

small rise in
prices for next season, the Hammers» last

League's lucrative new television deal.
