comfortably as they did their latest miserable game against Spurs in the soulless athletics bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Hammers supporters are reminded every other week by away fans visiting the <a

pressure on West Ham owners<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re right in one regard.<\/p>\n<p>Except it wasn\u2019t West Ham fans who sold their soul for the move, it was the club\u2019s owners <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hammers.news\/tag\/david-sullivan\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">David Sullivan<\/a> and the now passed David Gold who did the deed, with reviled vice-chair <a

migration ever\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>A large number of Tottenham fans have painted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hammers.news\/tag\/daniel-levy\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Daniel Levy<\/a> as the worst possible person you could have heading up your football club down the years.<\/p>\n<p>West Ham fans would point to the fact Levy wanted to bulldoze the London Stadium as proof he knew what he was doing.<\/p>\n<p>Levy went away and built Tottenham one of the finest football stadiums in the world.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\"

to protest against Sullivan and the board hope their activism will ultimately see him and Brady follow Levy\u2019s lead one way or another.<\/p>\n<p>A protest is scheduled for next week\u2019s home game against Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n<p>Hammers fans are also rallying to boycott the Brentford game altogether.<\/p>\n<p>The boycott started early, though, as the London Stadium emptied faster than a Usain Bolt race at this stadium when it was being used for the only purpose for which it is fit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hammers.news\/tag\/graham-potter\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"

blame rests.<\/p>\n<p>Now a top journalist has sent a brutal Sullivan and Brady message to Spurs fans after the West Ham rout.<\/p>\n<p>Hammers fans were lured away from their beloved Boleyn Ground on the promise it would enable the club to compete with the elite in the transfer market.<\/p>\n<p>The ultimate goal behind the move, West Ham\u2019s board told supporters, was to push for Champions

rented home by being in the Championship. <\/p>\n<p>The Hammers have shipped eight goals in their first two home games of the new season, losing to Chelsea 5-1 and Spurs 3-0.<\/p>\n<p>Those clubs are historically West Ham\u2019s biggest rivals outside of Millwall.<\/p>\n<p>You wouldn\u2019t know it watching the performances.<\/p>\n<p>The atmosphere in the London Stadium matched the apathetic nature of the performance on the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan and Brady shambles gives ungrateful Spurs perspective<\/p>\n<p>You could hear a pin drop at times and it may prove to be the calm before the storm ahead of the Palace protest next weekend.<\/p>\n<p>An impending sense of doom has descended on east London.<\/p>\n<p>And the situation has been perfectly summed up by the <a

Matt Law<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In a scathing assessment of West Ham\u2019s defeat to Tottenham, Law has hit the nail on the head in a message to Spurs fans.<\/p>\n<p>His report titled: \u201cWest Ham fans are watching a poor team in a terrible stadium with a board they hate\u201d is as true as it is depressing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Tottenham Hotspur supporters thought they had it bad under former chairman Daniel Levy, then imagine how West Ham United fans must be feeling,\u201d Law states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe\u00a0post-Levy era\u00a0started with a bang for\u00a0Spurs, but it\u2019s same old, same old for\u00a0West Ham\u00a0supporters who are stuck watching a poor team in a stadium they cannot stand with a chairman and vice-chair they want
