Don't think there's ever been a season in which the winner's of every top league in England, Spain, and Germany all had a managerial change. Not to mention Chelsea, City, Madrid, and PSG all changing managers too. Pretty crazy.

So i don't expect Barca to do anything in the transfer window for at least a week. Tata needs to spend some time with them before making any decisions on players. I am very excited about what he will being to the club. He will make us unpredictable again i think.

"The Beckham Law that once helped attract foreign stars as it put them in a lower tax bracket has gone, and banks no longer lend clubs money – Madrid were lent €150m in 2008 when they spent €250m on new players. These are changes that have made the purchase of Gareth Bale beyond the club’s reach this summer."

According to what I have read, no.
Marca claims he's agreed in principle to a deal at Madrid.

The Marca writer Carlos Carpio went so far as to write Bale has told Spurs chariman Daniel Levy that he wants to transfer. The same story quotes Bale's agent as saying Bale has wanted to play for RM since he was a kid which comes as a surprise.
If Bale does leave, Levy can only blame himself for building a slightly above mediocre team around Bale. They bid €22-€26 for Valencia striker Roberto Soldado when they're asking for €30 & Valencia closed off talks.
Think Levy was negotiating like he had car fax or something on Solado which Monaco clearly didn't have Falcao...

Well, as of a few hours ago, he was still here in HK training with the Spurs. AVB said that he won't play against Sunderland tomorrow, but "might" on Saturday... unless he suddenly leaves!

they don't have to fit all seats all the time.There are a lot of teams using their nation's official/biggest arena and they don't fill the seats. Hertha Berlin and Club America are 2 of them. It's mostly about can the team afford to be there the whole time and probably need a minimum amount or a good average to keep the place. But people also complain that they have the biggest stadiums and venues in the world and there not being put into any use. calling the constructions "a waste of money" so West Ham has that in their favor
Also, I didn't know Prince William was President of the FA and supporter of Aston Villa. He's the one who just had the baby with Kate

Villa sent them a gift...
But you're right, it's a big jump for the club, but however, with investment in the club, there's no reason why West Ham couldn't be a midtable PL club. With it's location in London, their attendance could certainly grow.

That's a great point especially given the state of the economy in the world today. The Hammers have an extensive history counting players like Bobby Moore, Martin Peters, & Geoff Hurst who were on the English team that won the '66 World Cup among their ex-players.
Several pages back, we were talking about youth academies & one of my co-workers who knows a lot about the Prem & it's history reminded me of their youth academy which includes alumni like 3 mentioned above, 'Arry Redknapp, Frank Lampard Sr. & Jr., Joe Cole, Rio & Anton Ferdinand, Michael Carrick, & a host of others...
Their history is actually kinda fascinating as are the histories of all these clubs...

West Ham has been in talks to take over the Olympic Stadium since like 2010 before the stadium construction was even completed 
I believe Tottenham was in the runnings for a little while; as well as rugby and cricket clubs
