All they can cling on to now is the happily oblivious transient Tourist fan who lap up everything the Club does under their watch. 

I think it's a pretty damning fact that as football teams around the world were tearing down their municipal athletics stadiums to build a proper football stadium modelled on the atmosphere of a traditional British ground that those idiots shoehorned us into the worst possible example of a municipal athletics stadium totally unfit for football.

Still there are fans thinking this pile of shit is decent.
West Ham are broken

But the vast majority of fans swallowed those lies hook line and sinker.  The poison dwarf and his highly paid brass have been lying ever since.

If you think back, he was only really interested in buying West Ham when there was the possibility of a Casino being attached somewhere along the line.

That never happened and so all things West Ham now boil his piss.

 

Why do you make this shit up and post it?

Not all of them. But when they have done the odd thing for the benefit of the club, I'll point it out. Like the £30 million rights issue and Kretinsky's £125 million he pumped in. And although they were well rewarded with interest payments, the loans they provided to the club, on relegation, back in the day, meant we didn't go into administration. And the owners (not Brady) have never drawn dividends or salaries.

For the money we pay Brady, I refuse to believe we coudn't get a more adept, brighter, sharper CEO (or what ever her job title is).

Fuck me, are you Jack Sullivan?

And the £30 million they put in, via a share rights issue during Covid.

Yes, we do owe a fortune to other clubs for transfers. Standard practice. What would you prefer, that, or paying all the money due on a transfer up front? Which in itseslf, would incur more borrowing costs.

Plenty to criticise the board for, without getting things wrong.

Everyone is making the assumption that the club will survive no matter what, they see that the worst that could happen is relegation. Him, Brady and Gold (when he was here) have fleeced and lied to the support for as long as they have been here, systematically selling off, re mortgaging, over inflating the costs of players who have been bought through preferred agents. Apart from the initial buy the board haven’t put any money in to the club apart from when it’s earning them 6%, it’s the clubs money, Kretinsky bought in and his money was used but all GSB seemed to have done is run the club on borrowing. Fuck me are we really any better off than when they rocked up?
The cheapest stadium, stewarding and policing costs in probably all the divisions, training facilities that are totally eclipsed by clubs with a third of the gates we get and still we have no money even though we’re being overseen by a self proclaimed business genius. She’s a genius at making Sullivan money, They’re asset stripping the club, and if you looked through anything different than your claret and blue spectacles more would see it.
We apparently owe other clubs we’ve bought players from a fortune because of the way we structure payments, everything is mortgaged even the shitty training ground, we own fuck all and will always own fuck all while these are bleeding out the club. I don’t think the fanbase will realise until Sullivan says one day “fuck you all, I’ve had enough and made enough, there’s fuck all left”.
