West Ham boss David Moyes thanked the board after victory over Bournemouth.
Moyes is delighted with the squad he's been allowed to assemble over the past two years.
He said: "I've got to say a big thank you to the Club, because the Club have done a brilliant job in supplying me with what we needed.
"I was saying earlier, in an ideal world you wouldn't bring in nine players. You would probably try to bring in three or four a year and maybe a couple of young boys or something along that line, but we've had to do it because of where we were and partly because of our success we've had.
"We're trying to raise the bar because we know we've grown with the players we had. We had to bring in new international players, people who we feel could make a difference, so I've got say a big credit to the to the Club and the Board for supporting us.
"Now what we need is a word called 'time', which sometimes you need just to let these players try and the show exactly what they can do."
