But could this have all been avoided?
When Sullivan and Gold arrived at their 'boyhood club' it was hailed as a 'homecoming'. They basked in their new found spotlight and they promised to bring immediate changes for the good of the club.
Their first change was to axe Gianfranco Zola a perfectly capable manager who not only kept them in premier league but had the dressing room on side. Indeed Zola is a man well respected in football and in a world full of prima donna's and big ego's he has managed to endear himself to the public as a good, honest nice guy
The hasty decision to replace Zola with Avram Grant has certainly come back to haunt them. You could say that the omens were always there as at glance Avram's C.V doesn't make for good reading, as if West Ham get relegated they will be the second team he's taken down in back to back seasons.
Sullivan and Gold may have had perfectly good intentions when arriving at West Ham. But if they carry on like they are they might find it hard to fill up their brand
new, shiny Olympic Stadium
An Empty stadium awaits West Ham if they get relegated.
