West Ham four inexpensive signings away from challenging Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United for the title! Tottenham? You're having a laugh!
West Ham have something, that Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United don't have! Zola To Be or Not to Be…
Well the media did their usual bit of muck throwing and stirring, saying that Zola and Clarke were off to Chelsea – surprise surprise – they didn't join the glory hunters, bandwagon merchants, call them what you will.
Not since John Lyall, or perhaps Billy Bonds, have West Ham had a manager that displays such integrity for the West Ham cause, with the view to seeing it through to completion. It looks like West Ham are back to the golden days of having the same manager for a number of years, which can only be a good thing. That's not to say that if Zola and Clarke become frustrated with the club's lack of ambition or funding that they won't walk earlier than the four year contracts they hold in their pockets and if that happens, more fool the club!
Zola must have been attracted to the club by the chance to manage a Premiership club without the necessary qualifications or experience; Clarke, meanwhile, was foolishly sidelined by Scolari and wants to manage some day. And let's be honest, working with Chelsea is not exactly a normal environment to ply your trade - where a manager can just add to the half billion pound team by buying another few very expensive players to get them out of a rut. Most managers don't have that luxury (or anomaly), and the great managers didn't have a lot of cash yet some still had phenomenal success – Brian Clough brought small clubs like Derby and Nottingham Forest through to league titles and European cup wins a number of times on a supermarket budget, (and the same could be argued for Aston Villa). Zola and Clarke, with Nani's help will pick up quality players at affordable prices; whilst Bentitez and Redknapp blow multi-millions to tinker and make no real difference to their teams.
Zola has already shown disdain in the media for the 'big four' that refuse to bring young talent through, instead merely spending lots of money on players. These clubs allegedly also poach young talent from, for example, Italian sides that can't contract young players until they are 18, by which time the guys from the 'big four' have greased their palms, and those of their parents, auntie and uncles and PE teachers whilst they are at it! These are the kind of guys that buy the kid's family speed boats, even if they live 800 miles from the coast and are partially blind and suffer from epileptic fits.
So what does the future hold for going the pure football manager's way through the league? West ham have a good defensive unit, although Robert Green's shot save ratio is poorer than a number of EPL keepers; some cover for left and right back would definitely help the cause. The midfield have held their own against all the teams in the league and often come out on top, with the exception of the Arsenal game at the Emirates, where they couldn't impose themselves on a stubborn and talented midfield. Up front is the main aspect where West Ham seem to be struggling. If Ashton and Cole were joined by two 15 (premier league) goal a season strikers – it could be argued that the team are destined for the top, and on a relative shoe string budget compared to the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal and Man U. So is the statement that West Ham are destined for big things wishful thinking or a reality?

Wishful thinking.
And i don't think £7m on Savio was brilliant business while you're in the mood for slagging off other managers for "blowing multi-millions". - 3 May 2009 09:09
Another Pro-West Ham speech that no west ham fans are going to read because you have none! Liverpool can afford to throw money at big name transfers as we are financially sound and Rafa knows the players he wants to bring in and they work well 9/10. I don't know how you can bring Tottenham into that really as Redknapp has only had one transfer window and IMO and most knowledgable football fans (unlike yourself) he bought well and you can't argue with the form Spurs are showing of late and the fact that they are only a point or so off of you when you were sitting quite pretty a few weeks ago, despite capitulation against Manure and Blackburn. Add to that the financial security of the club, new stadium etc; West Ham are a small club with minimal ambition and are nowhere near getting in the champions league because the days are gone where the Cloughs of this world can walk into a club the size of Forest, Derby or yourselves and drag them kicking and screaming into the 21st century. The only way to get there now is by spending the cash and if you deluded hammers really think that Zola can get you there on the cheap, you really are misguided fools. Honestly, the only 2 teams me and the majority of people in Liverpool fear breaking the top 4 is Everton and Spurs, sorry west ham but you are and always have been punching above your weight!

Fair point but we will see with Savio. Walcott wasn't fabulous initially at Arsenal was he?
- 3 May 2009 09:11
- Hammersfan said...
To the Liverpool fan, I remember people saying it was impossible for Clough to take a club the size of Derby to the title and one the size of Forest to the Champions League. To win the title with Derby, Clogh had to compete against big spending Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Man Utd and Leeds back then. There was always a gap. That's why we had to sell Peters to Tottenham! At Forest he had to compete with AC Milan, Real Madrid and Juve. Tottenham and Liverpool simply prove that spending big does not buy success!
- 3 May 2009 09:15
One thing that does worry me is Zola's comment that he thinks we only need 2 or 3 new faces. The squad has looked terribly thin this year and the possibility of european football could see us go backwards next year if we don't have the staff to cope. Parker, Dyer, Ashton, Gabbidon and Upson are terribly injury prone and if Gianfranco is working on the basis that they will all be fit, I'm afraid he may be deluding himself. Certainly we have good youth coming through, but young players often thrive coming into a team doing well but struggle if results go against you. We need two new strikers and a right back even if we don't qualify for europe, if we do, you can add another central defender, creative midfielder and striker to that list.

Dean Aston clearly can't be relied upon...the injury record is woeful...and he didn't score that many goals anyway. Carlton Cole has had a good season but that means nothing until he can produce that form over a number seasons. This alone is reason enough to suggest that West Ham will continue to be top eight at best. There are a number of clubs streets ahead in terms of team development and balance....and a few more with pockets waiting to emptied.
Spurs have Defoe, Keane, Bent and The Pav...all capable and 3 of them proven...who can score twenty plus goals a season. Bent for all of his critics has scored 17 in all comps.
Everton are now consistently top 6...Villa have a fantastic manager and careful owner...Man City will surely produce more away from home next year and push on...etc..etc..etc.
You'll get two years from Zola...a bit of European action...and the top clubs will continue to cherry pick your best players (thanks again for Defoe and Carrick by the way...).
Dream on bubble boy. - 3 May 2009 09:20
Savio is the same age as Sears, he hasnt been brilliant this season, but would you say he has no future at the club?
- 3 May 2009 09:20
old hammersfan at it again! how many articles can have spurs, liverpool, man u , arsenal, chelsea etc in the title! and come up on all their newsnow pages! lol...its ok though, i dont mind abit of banter...all we need now is celtichammer to turn up and start posting his essays
- 3 May 2009 09:21
- Hammersfan said...
Sears is older than Savio 920. I would back Savio to be twice the player Sears will ever be.
Joel, check out Ashton's scoring record. 19 goals from 43 starts for West Ham is near as damn one every two games. I don't think any of your nominated Cockyfools have a scoring ratio to compare. - 3 May 2009 09:23
This is one of the funniest things ive read in a long time. Your deluded if you think West Ham will challenge the bigger clubs. Upson and Collins are ok at best. Zola has done a brilliant job considering the poor standard of players he is working with. Bar Noble, Ashton and Dyer West Ham have average players.
- 3 May 2009 09:24
- Hammersfan said...
921, we enjoy the contributions from fans of other clubs. Equal Ops and all that - we don't want to rule out guys with Special Needs. As for the Scousers, they need something to fill up their long days in HM's prisons. ; }
- 3 May 2009 09:25
- Hammersfan said...
924, how about Ilunga, Green, Behrami, Tomkins and Collison?
- 3 May 2009 09:33
Apologies i forgot about Behrami he looks half decent, i'll pass on the others though. Not a fan of Green at all.
- 3 May 2009 09:35
You dont half talk out of your arsehole sometimes. So Trevor Francis was bought on a supermarket budget was he? You can name all the clubs in the premier league to get your hits you tosser but at least get your facts right. Do a bit of research for once and stop writing crap just for the sake of writing.
- 3 May 2009 09:36
west ham have punched well above their weight this season, i dont think they will get near man city, villa or spurs next season, let alone the top 4
- 3 May 2009 09:39
- Hammersfan said...
936, no Francis wasn't bought on a supermarket budget and nor was Shilton. But the rest? Clough spent big on Francis and was rewarded when the guy scored in the Champions League final. The difference between Clough and Benitez, for example, is that Clough built a team and only splashed the cash for a truly outstanding player. Benitez just chucks dosh on anything that moves, irrespective of whether they suit the team or not. Look at Keane! Torres is Clough's Francis, and Torres was a brilliant signing.

- 3 May 2009 09:42
- Hammersfan said...
939, we have gone 12 rounds with one hand tied behind our back. Wait until we are punching with both fists! Remember, it took Clarke and Zola a couple of months to settle in, then along came the injuries. The kids will be better next season and the top quality absentees will hopefully be back. Put a goal scorer in our team and we will be the match of anybody.
- 3 May 2009 09:44
- Hammersfan said...
942, Don't be so hard on yourself! Use Special Needs, it sounds so much nicer!
- 3 May 2009 09:45
Haha just makes me laugh how you think ur actually gonna get somewhere and when you use the word "top quality" to describe ur absentees! Lionel Messi is top quality, Cristiano Ronaldo is top quality, Kaka is top quality, Ronaldinho is top quality, Dean Ashton is mediocre by comparisson or are u suggesting that Ashton could walk into Barca and keep Eto'o/Messi/Henry on the bench with his silky... strenght? i dont know what is it Ashton has that makes him so good?
- 3 May 2009 09:48
- Hammersfan said...
948, it is about how they fit into the team. Messi? Brilliant but where was he in both semifinals against MU last season and where was he against Chelsea?
- 3 May 2009 09:51

"ridiculous comments"....whats ridiculous is nearly bankrupt west ham even finishing in the top 8 next season!...villa will attract good players because of 2 very good seasons on the bounce...spurs and city will have £££££££££££....west ham? lol...kepp blowing those bubbles

1016, Villa's form has been relegation form over the last 2 months. City will be the Harlem Globe Trotters of football, talented won nothing players picking up a pay cheque, doing their tricks but not playing for the team. Tottenham will buy big but will buy more misfits.
- 3 May 2009 10:29
West Ham are doing well and have a good chance of some european competition but whilst they are 26 points behind and a game ahead of liverpool they are only 20 points off the bottom of the table
- 3 May 2009 10:36
more misfits...what like modric and palacios?...we are 1 point of 7th spot, after almost our worst start in history!
- 3 May 2009 10:39
i see the hammers kids got hammered again at spurs 4-1....whether its your 1st team or academy i give you your dues, you always touch your toes for us! lol

"West Ham four inexpensive signings away from challenging Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United for the title!"
You fickle fans almost worry me sometimes
But then I remember it's jealous and bitter West Ham who get doubled by their EVIL rivals SPURS and who are on the verge of being taken over by banks and I continue LAUGHING MY HEAD OFF - 3 May 2009 10:57
I cant see you having a season as good as this one next year and as for champions league, come on are you sure? thats like winning the lottery, be nice if it happened but we all know in truth it never will.
- 3 May 2009 11:25
west ham fans label spurs deluded for saying we want to try break the top 4! then a a west ham blog writes a story claiming you could challenge for the title!!! forget about top 4, west ham are 4 INEXPENSIVE signings away from challenging for the fucking title!....class
- 3 May 2009 11:31
- Hammersfan said...
The Cockyfools have joined us, stung into activity after the torpor following a lucky 1-0 victory over the mighty Baggies! Even 'Arry said West Brom were the better side and were unlucky! Top 4? Even will a 2 goal start against the Mancs, you still contrive to lose by three clear goals!
A strong back four is one way of winning a title. We have that! Unlike Tottenham! - 3 May 2009 12:08
- Hammersfan said...
Re the victory of the Tottenham kids. You were playing your youth team, our youth team is the first 11 at the moment. We were playing the kindergarten side! At half time they sucked on an orange whilst the medical team hanged their nappies and administered Calpole!
- 3 May 2009 12:10
spurs fans leave it out and slag off west ham, so what your on good form at the moment but your 10th in the league remind me how much did u spend in summer? u sell players then buy them back u make me laugh, u spend millions and millions and your still overated crap! dream on spurs u think arsenal are rivals, lol we pity u, u never challenge us for anything, your nowhere near our level, come on u gooners!!
- 3 May 2009 13:33
And 11:31 that's the reason they hate us apparently - because we're deluded. Strange reason to hate someone but there reason nonetheless. And now they write an article that claims west ham will win the league! LOL. As for the gooner when was the last time you beat spurs - here's a clue it wasn't the 5 - 1 and it definitely weren't the fixture at your ground this season when you led 4 - 2 with one minute left. Btw when did you last win something? Almunia for England? What a joke you are, I'd rather be tenth with English players at an English club than win the european cup with a totally foreign team, foreign manager in a foreign stadium, with a foreign name of your club - btw where is that town called arsenal? - where the players all talk in French in the dressing room. I think you will find your the ones that are pity'd.
- 3 May 2009 14:21
Right I've been a west ham fan all my life and I think things are finally taking a turn for the best. All u yids can say what u want let's think back u bought our players off us last time and you done us twice this season very close games yet if we had a half decent striker we would of beaten you. For the blog to say we will finish top 4 highly unlikely. Maybe finish top 6 if we buy the correct players. Spurs will go out and buy everyone they can a few will be decent and spurs will think harry is a genius ur best two signings this year have been palacios and modric but what about the other players like gomes great goalie.... Not. West ham can be greatful for anywhere we finish this season we have a bunch of youngsters out and two strikers that couldn't hit a barn door.
I'm not a deluded west ham fan but even with a weak team we can still chalenge bigger clubs against Chelsea we should of won we missed a penalty dyer one on one and. Tristan could of scored Chelsea had one decent chance and finished it, it shows there class however once we get deano back and maybe a decent center forward who knows.
For the guy that thinks man city are going to be good jog on mate we done them at our place with our youngsters robinio in that game was worth more than our whole team man city can buy who they like they will still be middle of the table team. And if you look at the youngsters coming through for west ham tomkins stanislas noble sears payne stech ngala atleast we bring through home grown talent instead of buy it who knows in 9 years time we might win the world up thanks to west ham and arsenal bringing through some talent I doubt spurs will and if a spurs fan comes out and says we got bostock udidnt bring him through you bought him surprise surprise dip into ur pockets once more . - 3 May 2009 14:32

'YIDS' - even the Arsenal fan on here laughed at your so called rivalry - you get creamed every year by them!... It's fun to watch a f*cking yearly comedy of errors....
LIVERPOOL CARJACKERS - your manager's a babbler worse than Arry (blinker) Redknapp... And Fergie made him look like a fool with his war of words...
ARSE- NIL - Why don't you just put the emirates on wheels and cart it of down the Eurotunnel and plonk it in France (your players will be happier)...
You all seem to forget that money didn't help Newcastle or Leeds etc.... And Liverpool you had to tap up two West Ham players (Mascher & Benayoun) before you started to compete with Manu U.... - 3 May 2009 15:04
'924, how about Ilunga, Green, Behrami, Tomkins and Collison?'
ilunga is useless, green is average at best, behrami is average, and from what i've seen of tomkins and collison, england captains in the making my arse. they literally will wallow around a bit in the mid table obscurity that is west ham before moving on to championship sides and being forgotten about.
i cannot believe i'm reading a west ham blog that claims you need 4 inexpensive signings to challenge for the title. hilarious, yes, but if we're talking serious here then i'd suggest you go and buy 11 expensive players if a push for the title is really your aim, minnows.
i really cannot get over what i'm reading on this page! ahhh west ham fans!! - 3 May 2009 15:07

Sons and daughters of Tottenham. This much I vow. The history of these days will be written in blood, by crushing the armies of our enemy. By seizing the players they thought to turn against us. We were fighting for our very existence, but if are those who deny us peace refuse us our rightful place in the premiership. Then we will unleash such terrible vengeance, that generations of west ham fans not yet born will cry out in anguish.

I honestly don't think Nev would sink that low. The guy has a brain. This idiot doesn't.
It is not as if there is any wit in his comments or actions. All so sad and Klan like. And such is his stupidity, he has now admitted that a little group is involved. I suspect that a little Napoleon and a German Brown Shirt are in there somewhere. The thing about Fanno was that healways had an opinion on West Ham and football, he wasn't there to try to sabotage the forum. - 3 May 2009 15:47

As someone seems to have let the dogs out, back to football.
Nani the West Ham Technical director is priceless, and more so than throwing loads of money on players in the bid to break into the top four. He has discovered/ developed such world greats as: Luca toni, Andrea Pirlo and Roberto Baggio, a couple of those calibre players will surely put the mighty hammers on the map! - 3 May 2009 16:26
- 3 May 2009 16:28
As Spurs have gotten rid of their technical director in favour of Arry Redknapp running the whole show, I bet they wish they had Nani in as a technical director.....
- 3 May 2009 16:40
Tottenham will never reach top four,they will always go backwards yes you are correct in saying they will thro money at the transfere market this summer but they will get nothing for there money.they are a tiny club trying to harbour top four ambitions.anyway arry twitcher red(nose)napp has one good season then the next will be bad.i predict another fight against the drop for them next year.

You have to laugh at Spurs fans. First they appointed an ex Arsenal manager in their desperation to be seen as a big club - now they have an ex West Ham manager to help them in their now annual relegation battle. They sold their entire frontline during last summer because they had to claw some money back then had to resign some of them to help in their relegation battle. Two years on the trot fighting relegation - ha ha.... and still their fans carry on their infamous delusions. Harry Redknapp - do your job and ruin that club.
- 3 May 2009 17:56

YES"annual relegation battle"you pathetic little spud where did you finish last year!?!? just face the facts you are the most hated and deluded and jealous set of fans in the entire country.i dont think i have ever met a nice spud supporter FACT.bye muppet
- 3 May 2009 18:11
As an Arsenal fan I think that you are alot more than 4 inexpensive signings away from challenging for the title but Uefa Cup football regularly is very possible. The big draw for your club is Zola because he seems like a class guy and looks like a really good manager too. He's a draw for foreign players too and he's not afraid to promote youngsters like Collison and that stanislav or whatever guy. So in short things are going well for your club, be happy that you finally have a decent manger but don't start to think that you can challenge for anything yet just try to keep Zola from leaving for an Italian team or Chelsea and staying in the top 10.
- 3 May 2009 18:36
lol at the pikey, 18:11....listen up pikey, we have been in europe 3 seasons running, how could we be in an annual relegation battle u mug!

lol @ the deluded spud,18:54....listen fool,WHERE DID YOU FINISH LAST SEASON!?!?you got into europe because you won the WORTHLESS CUP.so tell me WHERE DID YOU FINISH LAST SEASON????
jeeeez what a complete plonker - 3 May 2009 19:22
Im a west ham fan and i believe that arsenal are the best team in north london by far.spurs fans are really bitter people(it shows in the poster 18:05 and 18:54) and need to sort themselfs out.
- 3 May 2009 19:31
last season we finished 11th.....is 11th relegation? is 11th in a relegation battle?....the 2 seasons before that we finished 5th...is that a "annual relegation battle"....so the last 3 years we have made europe from 5th place finishes and winning the carling cup?...what is your point pikey?...when did west ham last win a cup, finish 5th, or make europe you joker! you are proper mugging yourself lol
- 3 May 2009 19:34
my point is you had exactly the same season last as this year,start of poor then get better when you sacked martin jol.it must be hard for you my little pike to realise that you will finish below west ham for the second season running!!!!oh and keep dreaming of finishing 5th again lol that cracks me up,nobody ever remembers the runners up in a competition but you spuds wont let anybody forget you finished 5th PMSL oh and for the record we have finished 5th in 98 but we dont go on about that cuz we are not desperate to get people to think we are a BIG CLUB which clearly you aint.
- 3 May 2009 19:46

stoke and newcastle?...i would of thought stoke are more of a rival to west ham than spurs, taking into account the amount of time both teams have spent in the lower divisions!....so are you excited about your new state of the art stadium, and summer transfer targerts?...oh yeah forgot! west ham haven't got a pot to piss in lol!

"The Cockyfools have joined us, stung into activity after the torpor following a lucky 1-0 victory over the mighty Baggies! Even 'Arry said West Brom were the better side and were unlucky! Top 4? Even will a 2 goal start against the Mancs, you still contrive to lose by three clear goals!
A strong back four is one way of winning a title. We have that! Unlike Tottenham!"
"Spurs will go out and buy everyone they can a few will be decent and spurs will think harry is a genius ur best two signings this year have been palacios and modric but what about the other players like gomes great goalie.... Not."
At home, Gomes and the Tottenham defence have conceded just nine goals all season so far, probably the lowest out of all teams in the premier league. I doubt even "Sensational" Upson can beg to differ against Tottenham's quality in defence. Furthermore, i was just browsing the internet when i came across this, maybe you should take a look and put an end the question of spurs fighting relegation?

Anon 18.06, isn't it past your bedtime...? Alternatively shouldn't you be out mugging old grannies or burgling houses.... what about your state of the art stadium (in the middle of a ghetto)? West ham don't need to buy many players, and new owners will pump some cash in the following season, so no worries....

Board members at AIG are meeting tomorrow to consider suing the federal government for giving them unfavorable terms on a $182 billion bailout.
Remember AIG? The company right at the heart of the financial blowup? That is the company that, because of no one's fault but its own, made horrible bets in the derivatives markets. When those bets went bad, and they couldn't pay, they turned to the tax payers for one of the biggest bailouts in history. One of the side effects of this was a precipitous tightening in credit throughout the financial industry that caused a deep and long lasting recession.
Now the very same AIG, whose executives are still raking in millions, wants more or your tax dollars, because they didn't like the terms of their government loan.

This is unbelievable. All brought to you by the folks at the 'White' House. We have been hoodwinked by the worst president since Jimmy Carter, and now the chickens are coming home to roost. How anyone could have voted for this clown over a proven businessman like Mitt Romney is beyond me. The private sector has so much more integrety then tyrrannical state led by Barry the Chosen One.

George = Iraq War...completely unnecessary. He got to live while others died for our country...duh...he also made a few bucks off this war.
Posted by Mike, a resident of the Charter Oaks neighborhood, on Jan 8, 2013 at 3:01 pm
I thought at the time, and still think that AIG should have been allowed to go under. There needs to be a price to pay for poor decision making and bad oversight.
That being said, the "investiment" made by the government to AIG has not only been paid off by AIG's shareholders, with cash generated selling off parts of the company, profitable ongoing operations and additional shareholder investment, the government made a profit of about $23 billion. So there is at least an arguement to be made for the viability of this transaction and by the shareholders that the price was too high. The shareholder arguement is garbage. The company agreed to the terms in order to save itself. The harshness of the terms is irrelevant.
On the other hand, the government's investment in the auto industry has not been paid off. Chrysler, now owned by Fiat, received almost $11 billion and has paid back almost $10 billion. General Motors was on its way to paying back their loan, but the value of their stock has dropped to the point where even their entire market cap would not cover the outstanding loss.
Posted by Berty, a resident of the Bordeaux Estates neighborhood, on Jan 8, 2013 at 3:19 pm
Mike's right lets let them all fail because then they'd bankrupt and people would be out of luck but let them suffer because they were greedy and deserve whats coming to them. People would be back at ground zero which is where there supposed to be. Then I could start a bank on my street corner and who knows the glory of capitalism?
Posted by Doug Miller, a resident of the Country Fair neighborhood, on Jan 11, 2013 at 10:12 pm
Then there is the other side of this argument which says that the government forced banks to loan to people who couldn't afford such loans. To do this, the banks created sub prime loans and no interest loans. This started under Clinton. Banks then acted to protect themselves by selling off mortgage portfolios to the government. Resulting in the housing bubble and eventual collapse of the banking system. Then the bail outs followed by more regulations.
Now for the fist time, just this week the federal government is issuing regulations to make sure borrows can pay back their loans. What a concept!
Posted by Steve, a resident of the Parkside neighborhood, on Jan 11, 2013 at 10:33 pm
Doug Miller is so right. Yes, Doug, the banks' hands were tied and first Clinton and then Obammy held a gun to their head, terrorizing them into the subprime loan game. And the way the loans were packaged and sold to other banks, with ratings agencies giving inflated ratings to survive government whippings. All because govt forced the private sector into making profits they otherwise would certainly have avoided. Brilliant. Thanks, Doug. You're one smart cookie. Down with the burrows! And let's do away with government regulations. And, any chance of having an election makeover? I'm sure if we had one Acorn wouldn't have stolen it for Obammy like it did the last too times.

What about the pensions for CA government workers? The impending implosion (bailout?) of state, county, city, and special districts should make the other bailouts look like chicken feed. The new GASBy accounting changes, as well as the soon to come debt rating adjustments for pension & unfunded public employee health care debt, from both Standard & Poor and Moody's, are about to force cities to take an honest look at the real cost of government/government debt. The new formulas will demonstrate that government debt, and not just at the state level, is two to three times what's reported on the balance sheet. That's HUGE!
It's gonna get ugly when taxpayers realize that government entities, that are supposed to manage taxpayer resourses, have instead been padding their own pockets. The amount of debt that will be uncovered, because practical methodolgies will soon expose accounting gimmicks and ridiculous amounts of debt deferrals (hidden debt currently) can NOT be paid by the current generation - it is that massive. That means that our legacy will be the tremendous financial burden we leave to our children and grand children - the next two generations.
Posted by Steve, a resident of the Parkside neighborhood, on Jan 12, 2013 at 11:27 am
Way to keep things relevant! Way to keep things in proportion. Because, yes, hedgefund managers absconding with billions of citizens' dollars is nothing compared to a public school teacher making a whopping 70K per year. The former is just capitalist in all its finery. But it's the teachers who are killing us. Because they are unionized. And unions are bad. Really bad. They rob their members of their freedom to work for less.

Doug Miller said,
"Then there is the other side of this argument which says that the government forced banks to loan to people who couldn't afford such loans."
Doug, this is about AIG, not banks. AIG was not and is not a bank. I have never seen an argument anywhere that the government forced AIG to do anything that caused their derivatives portfolio to collapse and bankrupt the company. AIG never made that argument. No one I know made that argument. AIG collapsed because it made side bets in the derivatives market using credit defaults swaps. The made horrible bets and the bets went sour. It is as simple as that. I can't see any "other side" to this.
Can you point me to any information, a link or anything, that shows AIG was in any way forced by the government to bet the way it did in the swaps market? Or were you not talking about AIG?
P. S. I'm glad AIG decided not to sue the government in this case. It would have been nuts.

State of the Phillies: shortstop
State of the Phillies: shortstop
David Murphy, Daily News Staff Writer
I. 2012 production, Phillies shortstops (NL rank out of 16 teams in parentheses)
BREAKDOWN: Evaluating Rollins is always a complicated task because of the varying perceptions that surround him. He has never reached base as often as an ideal leadoff hitter, and his contact numbers are not what they were during his prime (his 96 strikeouts this season were the most since he 24 years old). And Charlie Manuel expressed dissatisfaction with his hustle on the base paths on a couple of occasions this season, which has been an issue at various points in Rollins' career. That being said, his .250/.316/.427 line in 2012 was actually fairly close to the National League average for the leadoff spot (.257/.319/.382). He also hit 23 home runs and converted 30-of-35 stolen base attempts. And he continues to provide excellent defense. While there is certainly an argument to be made that Rollins is better suited to hit fifth, sixth or seventh now that power has become the most attractive part of his game, there is no question that he is still an above average offensive shortstop (more on that below). And his defense remains strong, although quantifying just how strong is difficult given the uncertainty of current advanced metrics
II. Future salary commitments (luxury tax threshold $178 million in 2013, increases to $189 million in 2014)
2012: 11.0 million, 5.34 percent of luxury tax threshold (Jimmy Rollins, 34 years old)
2013: 11.0 million, 5.34 percent of luxury tax threshold (Jimmy Rollins, 35 years old)
2014: 11.0 million, 5.03 percent of luxury tax threshold (Jimmy Rollins, 36 years old)
2015: 5.0 million, 5.03 percent of luxury tax threshold (Jimmy Rollins, 37 years old)
FLEXIBILITY: Rollins name started popping up in rumors a week or so before the trade deadline, which gave the impression that the Phillies were gauging interest in him. Maybe they would be open to trading the veteran just one year after signing him to a guaranteed $38 million over three years, but Rollins has 10-and-5 rights, which means he to can veto any trade and opt to remain with the Phillies if that is his preference. Whatever the case, it is really hard to see them trading Rollins and making their infield weaker when they already have a void at third base and Chase Utley's knees to worry about at second.
III. 2013 Organizational Depth Chart
- Jimmy Rollins, 34, $9.5 million average annual value through 2015
- Freddy Galvis, 23, pre-Arb (1.000 service time) under club control through at least 2017.
- Roman Quinn, 19, short-season Class A Williamsport
BREAKDOWN: The Phillies love Galvis' glove and would slide him to shortstop if Rollins ever were to miss an extended stretch of time. Quinn, a highly regarded switch-hitting prospect who was drafted in the second round in 2011, showed plenty of promise in his first full season in the minor leagues, hitting .281/.370/.408 at short-season Williamsport with one home run, 30-of-36 steals, and 61 strikeouts in 267 at-bats. But he is several years away from even being in the conversation about the immediate future.
IV. Potential for personnel upgrades
TRADE POTENTIAL: The Phillies simply aren't going to find a shortstop who can match Rollins' production. Only seven players at the position finished 2012 with a higher OPS (min. 200 PA): Troy Tulowitzki (.846), Ian Desmond (.845), Jose Reyes (.780), Josh Rutledge (.775), Jed Lowrie (.769), Hanley Ramirez (.759) and Starlin Castro (.753). The Phillies could theoretically attempt to make a play for Lowrie with the Astros, who always seem willing to listen on players, and put him at 3B. But a deal for a shortstop who would replace either Rollins or Galvis is highly unlikely.
FREE AGENT MARKET: Again, in the unlikely scenario that the Phillies trade Rollins, they won't be going outside the organization to replace him. Assuming the Tigers pick up Jhonny Peralta's $6 million option, the available free agents are a collection of light-hitting veterans: Jason Bartlett (33), Ronny Cedeno (30), Stephen Drew (30), Alex Gonzalez (35), Yuniesky Betancourt (31) and utility men: Cesar Izturis (33), Brian Bixler (30). Only Marco Scutaro is the only real bat available at the position, and he is 37 years old and a question mark as an everyday player.
V. In conclusion: shortstop.
Pretty self-explanatory here. Expect Rollins here for at least the next couple of seasons.
- @'candidly': The facts are that this season, when the team needed a true "leader" and someone to be energized and play small ball by getting on base and manufacturing runs, lil jimmie Popup was a dog with fleas. So though you will get hammered with the tired "hater" handle, your point has merit.
And lastly, I find it amusing that the WWE has a performer whose main schtick is that he has a little imaginary friend named "lil jimmie". "lil jimmie" leads. "lil jimmie" bats leadoff. Those wrastlers are smarter than you think.
Of course, that is Manuel's shortcoming, but Rollins and others like him that put the kiss-b*tt-manager in a bind are not good for this team. Team needs always play second fiddle to individual needs.
Jim-ME is the ultimate in worrying first about his individual needs.
To @dcs2008 who will now level the "you dislike him personally charge" against me as he did against @candidly, why must any criticism of any player ever devolve into that? Neither @candidly nor I even know Rollins. Why must our concerns about hsi lack of hustle and his selfishness translate into not liking him? Because we dare to ignore the stats and believe instead that the team would be better off without all the attitude?
Sounds an awful lot like what's going on in this country and what will come to a head on November 6th. advantasux
Getting back to baseball, we have Mr. Shortstuff (the shortstop), and Mr. Shortcomings (Manuel), who are the tandem that stirs the drink here. Suggest Mr. Shortstuff get moved to the 5,6 hole, and possibly to 3B, while Mr. Shortcomings become Ryne Sandberg's bench coach. Oh, I forgot, he knows nothing about 'strategery.' (sic). Sick. 24sDad
I don't understand that in the least; by now, I know 50% of America sees it one way and 50% the other and there are so many reasons for folks to line up on this side or that. Same with the Phillies...people speak of their preference for certain players to be gone and cries of racism and other nonsense ensue. I hate defending myself and my choices for reasons that are never my own.
Getting back to your post, I love the pairing of Jimmy and Manuel with the "Mr. Shortstuff and Mr. Shortcomings" labels, could not agree more with you that if Rollins were to be properly slated in the #5 hole, so much about him would be overlooked and it would make so much sense for the team; which means, of course, it will never happen.
And, finally, I loved your sly pairing of "(sic)" and "Sick" at the close. As always, my friend, a very interesting read. advantasux- dasher

- Thank you, my friend. Good talking to you as well. Yes, Johnny Callison was my boyhood hero and he was indeed the original Chase Utley. I like that new moniker for Amaro. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no faith in his ability to get the right pieces. His rule 5 picks (Herndon in '09 and Martinez in '10), and his smug inability to admit he was wrong by keeping them on the team, coupled with the first Lee trade when we could have won another WS with both Halladay and Lee, resigning Schneider, then going cheap on the bench with Nix and Wigginton, and finally, keeping both Manuel and Dubee will be Amaro's legacy I'm afraid. How could anybody have any faith in a GM who has been completely exposed as lacking any ability to judge talent? I guess somebody should ask Montgomery that question, but he'd probably say he's satisfied with Amaro's performance. I guess as long as fans and their fannies inhabit the ball park, Montgomery will be satisfied. When and if he takes a hit in that considerable wallet of his, the tide may turn.
And you're right about what must be Montgomery's take on Amaro's work, and how it won't waver as long as the ballpark fills up.
The only place I will part with you is on your premise that Amaro lacks any ability to judge talent. There is no doubt as to the factual basis for that statement but I believe he has something else going on that makes things even worse and that is his narcissistic personality that always seeks pleasure and fulfillment from outside his own home. His pieces in the minors are NEVER good enough to satisfy him and build his legacy with; he'd rather play the game like a gambler does so he can get his full fix of excitement by bringing in other teams' castoffs and seeing how he can make great use out of them.
All of which is fine and well except that
1) he never gives his own kids the same opportunity and,
2) he so infrequently finds anyone of value from outside (back to the poor talent evaluation problems he has). advantasux- @advanta, my friend, you raise a very good point about Amaro and his narcissistic personality overtaking his better judgment. The only thing I would add is that the decisions to retain Martinez, Herndon, and Schneider when it was apparent that they were baseball's equivalent of scrapple (along with him visiting the bargain basement during the last off-season and selecting Nix and Wigginton for the bench --even though there were significantly better players available at near the same price) definitely do not lead one to have any confidence in Amaro's ability to rebuild the team properly. I agree with you completely regarding his smug, stubborn inability to accept responsibility for his many mistakes. We are definitely on the same page, as usual. Bottom line: If I were Montgomery, I'd be very uneasy about the direction of my team going forward.
Is there someone who can replace him, and hit as many home runs leading off ? Not on your tintype . So often blind hate over rules common sense. Jimmy has a good year or two left in him. Beyond that, we should be in position to bring a replacement up, or trade for a shortstop.
There is big problems in the outfield. Why not vent your anger on the garbage we have there ? Jimmy can at least hit, and field his position. That's more than I can say for the rest. phineas- Only in Philly...
- fhs77
How else to explain the incessant conga line of castoff refugees from other teams but almost never fully developing a kid from the farm into an everyday player?
He seems to desire to build his legacy by acquiring talent (yeah, right) from outside. He believes that will earn him his stripes with his peers.

More Give Up Looking Than Find Jobs
Hiring and layoffs tend to lag other economic indicators. GDP fell 0.1% in the fourth quarter, fears of a government shutdown slowed consumer spending in December and encouraged businesses to cut inventories. Even if the economy doesn't slip into a recession, unemployment would rocket.
In the weakest recovery since the Great Depression, most of the reduction in unemployment from its 10% peak in October 2009 has been accomplished through a significant drop in the percentage of adults working or looking for work. Were adult labor-force participation the same today, the unemployment rate would be 9.9%, and were the participation rate the same as when President Obama took office it would be more than 10%.
Adding in part-time workers who would prefer full employment but can't find it, the unemployment rate becomes 14.4%. It rose above 14% in the wake of the financial crisis and remains stuck there.
Convincing millions of Americans they don't want a job or compelling desperate workers to settle for part-time work has been the Obama administration's most effective jobs program.
Prospects for stronger growth remain poor because virtually every wage earner is paying higher payroll taxes, and the recent budget deal raises income taxes $40 billion to $50 billion, annually, mostly from higher rates on families earning more than $450,000. Together, those further dampen consumer spending and aggregate demand.
:On the supply side, increased business regulations, rising health care costs and mandates imposed by Obamacare, and higher tax rates on small businesses raise the cost of capital.
Efforts to reduce the deficit, and avert a downgrade for the credit rating on federal debt that raised taxes and sliced spending by $200 billion to $300 billion, immediately, could send the economy into a recession and unemployment to above 10%.
The puzzle of reducing federal deficits to sustainable levels and accomplishing stronger growth and jobs creation, consistent with the underlying potential of the economy, remains difficult, because the $500 billion trade deficit on oil and with China continues to drag on demand and a tighter regulatory climate makes businesses cautious about investing in the U.S.

Someone On My Side: Advice Services Alliance Manifesto
The Advice Services Alliance, of which AdviceUK is a member, has produced a manifesto aimed at the new government in 2010. Here are some extracts:
The importance of advice
In any one year, at least one in three people have a problem relating to legal issues such as housing, domestic violence, benefits, debt and employment. These problems can cause poverty, homelessness, anxiety and other health problems. This figure is increasing as a result of the recession. There is evidence of a significant increase in the number of enquiries relating in particular to debt, housing and employment problems. Legal and advice services have an important role in ensuring that people receive the support that they need. This enhances the health of local communities. We work for a society where all people are treated fairly, without discrimination, with equal access to justice.
The Advice Services Alliance calls on the next Government to:
- Work with the sector to ensure that people receive the advice and support that they need
- Protect the independence of the advice sector
- Work with the sector in preventing problems from arising in the first place
