West Ham board’s summer moves so badly needed

The appearance in this season’s European Final is of course a brilliant moment for the club and fans!

We will all be praying that we beat Fiorontina but we can never lost sight of what a  terrible League season this has been other than the mini revival which saved our Premier League lives.

The reality of just how poor it was in reflected in stats which show that we lost 20 league games. Only Bournemouth and the three relegated teams lost more.

That is an absolutely shocking statistic for a team with our supposed ambitions and it is absolutely right that the board has stepped in to the point where a director of football is on the way in and the spending to be back in their hands again.

A director of football is normal at all clubs and long overdue at West Ham along with a promised change in the recruitment process.

Hopefully it will ensure that we suffer no more seasons such as this one where our Premier League has been under threat for so long are a thing of the past.

The only think that matters for me is Premier League survival and a West Ham top half season every season.

Anything else is a bonus!
