The departure of thousands of fans from the London Stadium at half time and throughout the rest of the game will send a powerful message to David Sullivan, much louder than any words could. It’s clear that we don’t blame them at all for leaving. If this continues, we may not see Moyes staring in the movie CARRY ON REGARDLESS.
If I were a neutral, I might think it was a comedy, but it is becoming more and more tragic as this poor manager continues his job well past his expiration date with the Hammers.
Watching him on the sidelines, it was clear that he had no idea how to change anything. And his declaration afterward, that it wasn’t about the manager or the players, was simply avoiding the responsibility that he should be taking.
A supporter and our former ratings man messaged us, saying, “Let’s be fair. The scoreline flattered us. It should have been much worse. This type of performance has become the norm, so it was only a matter of time before our luck ran out.
David Sullivan is a money man, and seeing perhaps up to 25% of fans walk out will certainly get his attention. Once fans start leaving before the end of a game, it makes giving up their season tickets that much easier.
There is no way forward for David Moyes except towards the stop/go signs by Stratford Station or any available taxi. Fans boycotting matches could bring that about sooner rather than later.
