‘West Ham fans will laugh when they hear what Tottenham fans are planning’
West Ham’s failings have been largely directed at their ownership, with the Hammers now in a fight to retain their Premier League status.
Supporters have voiced their ire towards David Sullivan and Karen Brady over the last couple of seasons, with tensions at E20 now at an all-time high.
There have been protests outside the London Stadium this campaign, with West Ham fans continuing to display their rage at multiple poor decisions that have been made by Sullivan and Co.
Nuno Espirito Santo is under pressure and faces a crunch Premier League showdown against Tottenham in North London on Saturday, which could even decide his future at the Hammers.
However, the protest that Spurs fans have planned for the game may raise the eyebrows of many West Ham supporters.
Alan Brazil says West Ham fans will giggle at Spurs protest
Sullivan seems to be backing Nuno in the transfer window, and has already splashed over £40million in recruits to help give the Irons a fighting chance of survival.
But it’s not only West Ham who are in trouble both on and off the field, with Tottenham currently underperforming under Thomas Frank.
- Tottenham have managed to get 27 points from 21 games
- That’s almost double West Ham’s tally of 14
- Spurs are in Europe, and have just finalised the £35million signing of Conor Gallagher
Tottenham fans are planning a protest before kick-off against the Hammers, which will be aimed at their ownership and club performances. It’s called “Change for Spurs”.
While speaking live on talkSPORT on Friday, Alan Brazil weighed in on the situation as he suggested that West Ham supporters have it much worse.
Brazil said: “The Tottenham fans have had enough. A mass protest is planned ahead of the West Ham game.
“Well, West Ham haven’t got a lot to cheer about. They’ll be laughing when they hear about the protest and see it.“
Traditionally, supporters of Premier League sides always seem to fail to find a positive perspective on their own position, which makes it worse when considering the reality that West Ham fans face in this season’s relegation battle.
West Ham’s relegation and the financial expenses it will bring
West Ham dropping to the Championship would be one of the most famous relegations in recent times, when taking into account the size of the Hammers and the stadium.
Sullivan would lose millions due to a cut in TV rights, matchday revenue, and reduced sponsorship, which may even force him to sell up.
Even if the Hammers throw more money at transfers this month, there’s no guarantee that Nuno can steer the ship around.
If Sullivan were to cut Nuno’s contract short in E20, that would be even more money to payout, while most likely hiring a new head coach on big wages in the process.
It’s a complete mess at the London Stadium, and the fairly soulless ground would not be filled in the Championship, potentially making it even harder to escape from one of England’s most difficult divisions.
Spurs fans need to look at the bigger picture – things could be a lot, lot worse.
