As we prepare for Saturday's momentous clash with
Wigan Athletic, West Ham United Chairman Eggert Magnusson has given
an exclusive, in-depth interview to whufc.com.
In the first part of this feature Mr Magnusson today expressed
his thoughts on the crucial climax to the season and the strong
sense of belief that can be felt around the Club.
"We are all feeling positive," he said. "Throughout
the Club everyone is confident that we can secure the results we
need in our final three games to confirm our Premiership status.
"Everyone has been working extremely hard, both on and off the
pitch. The management, players and backroom staff are all feeling
bright and looking forward to facing the coming challenges as a
close team.
"Everyone is confident that we can go to Wigan and achieve a
great result. We have so many of our fans travelling up to the game
that we are sure to have an extra advantage."
With the Chairman and players' financing coach travel to Wigan
this Saturday, over 5,500 Hammers fans and will take up their seats
at the JJB Stadium to cheer on Alan Curbishley's men.
Mr Magnusson said: "The supporters were fantastic against
Everton, as they always are. They are the best supporters in
England. They are noisy and full of passion and that is exactly
what we need from them at Wigan.
"We believe in ourselves and we know we have an excellent
chance of finishing the season on a high. The fans are so important
and we need them to cheer us on to victory for the remainder of the
season."
Look out for part two of our exclusive interview with
Eggert Magnusson tomorrow when the Hammers chairman speaks
