So his gripe with the board is that they don't play like Liverpool or Real Madrid. Well I would imagine every football fan would like their club to be winning trophies, and smashing the opposition every week, but most of us will accept a team that tries and has reasonable success.
He and his supporters are part of the problem although they would not accept that. Delusional fans who think the West Ham way actually exists (it doesn't as Fergie once pointed out).
"big club mentality" with nothing to back it up.
I asked AI: What is "the West Ham way"?
"The West Ham Way" is a debated and undefined concept, but generally refers to a playing style and attitude emphasizing hard work, honesty, and aggression on the pitch, with players giving their all for the team. However, the meaning is subjective and contested; some fans and commentators, like Sir Alex Ferguson, question its existence or definition, while others, such as former player Mark Noble, associate it with core values and a specific brand of football, often perceived as working-class East London grit
In essence, while "The West Ham Way" lacks a universally agreed-upon definition, it symbolizes a perceived spirit of effort, resilience, and East London grit that the club's fans and some observers hope to see on the pitch
So I conclude that it's basically them "trying". Hardly a style, hardly even unique.
