West Ham feels like a club in genuine crisis to me. To many on the outside, they see Premier League football, a big stadium and a recent European trophy and think it’s all just whinging but so many of their fans feel totally disconnected with their club.
Long-term season ticket holders are giving up their seats year on year, they despise the ownership, hate the stadium they play in, have had to fight tooth and nail to keep things like concession prices in place and worst of all, can’t see a logical way out of the mess they find themselves in. It’s a club which many of their fans feel is willingly forging a path away from the core support which has stuck with them for generations.
Yes, the headlines are regularly dominated by the team’s struggles under Graham Potter in the here and now but the sense of frustration the vast majority of that fan-base feel runs so much deeper than the 9 months he’s been in charge.
