Progress through stability

"West Ham is all about progress through stabilty."
Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson, West Ham v Wigan programme August 16, 2008.

Since when... one manager resigned, two defenders sold to Sunderland apparently against the ex-manager's will, three emergency signings made on deadline day, one new manager appointed, one new assistant manager appointed at cost of £1 million, one sponsor in administration, one compensation bill received from Sheffield United of around £50 million after lost tribunal, one takeover bid from Indian billionaire rumoured, one bank Landsbanki (major shareholder Mr Gudmumdsson) placed into receivership.

Yeah thats too true, can't believe the man would come out with such a silly comment like that. It's unbelievably shocking. But then again so is the situation at my club at the moment. Spurs seem to be in turmoil, bottom of the league and now our manager Juande Ramos being linked with the Juventus job. The Lane is a mess and now it seems our manager has n easy way out!

At least Spurs are offering us some light relief from Icelandic woes! Always thought Malbranque was class so odd to let him go, and Martin Jol was very harshly treated. Still, Curbs is available...
