Yeah we said that at the time iirc maverick
Took the fans to scare him to make him invest
Nowadays a comment about Sullivan’s big geezerbird wife will have you banned over there.

One of the few times he actually had a bit of a spend up came in the next transfer window after he had the shit scared out of him at the Burnley game
I’m not condoning trying to attack the bloke, but I feel it should be made loud and clear to him at games that he’s taking the piss

Re: Official Transfer rumours and gossip thread

If he actually got some stick at games I think he’d either have to spend some money or he’d have enough of it and sell up
But he doesn’t but he hides behind the lie of FFP despite the fact we had money left over from the sales of Scamacca and Vlasic
Somehow claiming we had to sell before we could buy, but then continuing to sell players when he knew full well we wasn’t bringing anyone in
If that’s not taking the piss I don’t know what is

"Sullivan gets away with being tight as we have a large fan base that doesn’t know the facts and defends him"
That's nonsense. He is the major shareholder so he does what he wants. The fan base has no say in the matter. The only impact the fan base can have on Sullivan is not buying tickets but that doesn't happen and every game is sold out.

This is the very reason why Sullivan gets away with being tight as we have a large fan base that doesn’t know the facts and defends him
In the last 5 years for example Aston Villa who are club I would say is similar to ourselves but hasn’t sold their stadium under a promise of being able to financially compete with the big boys have a net spend of £110million more than us

I think you've been a bit hoodwinked BJB
Sullivan will probably make half a billion from the sale at some point. He's not doing any of it for us.
He spent last Jan because he there was a danger of relegation.
He and Moyes have got super lucky with the form of Kudus

If you take a look at our net spend rather than money spent since Sullivan took over you’ll see it’s actually pathetic, especially when compared to other premier league clubs in the same bracket as us

I think we have all seen this trend over the last 4-6 windows
Woukd be interesting to see some stats on sales and purchase fees and more importantly wages saved
Someone must know the numbers? Are they see in published accounts or more likely an indrpendent website like transfermkt?

Re: Official Transfer rumours and gossip thread

The money you claim he had generously made available has all come from player sales
He constantly flogs players at the last minute with no time to sign any other players and then hopes people like you forget about it
Which seemingly works
The signings we made this season came from the Rice money, what happened to the sky money and the profit from the sale of Scamacca?

Re: Official Transfer rumours and gossip thread

In he pre-match presser for the Man United game Moyes revealed the club’s winter window scenario saying: “We wanted to strengthen in January. I think if you asked most managers then they would say something similar.
We worked really hard to bring in an attacking player as well but we couldn’t quite get there. There weren’t as many transfers in this window, certainly big transfers, as there have been in the past.
Ok, so we tried. Everything is ok then!
Fucking misconduct. Management worthy a pub team at best.

We cant have it both ways ...we cant blame Moyes for spending 1/2 a billion and serving up utter turgid dross and then say Sullivan wont spend any money... which is it?
Im not a Sullivan fan but he has allowed plenty of money to be spent on transfers. Whether he's spent it wisely is up for debate. The only real grounds were his and Gold's taking interest on the loans which always felt a bit dodgy, but not illegal.

Indeed. Only positive is Cornet gets more minutes now and might come good.
I wouldn’t count on it, he started jwp out there the other night and brought cornet on in the 95th minute.

Surely the point is valid if Sullivan's long-term intention is to sell the club with maximum potential yet minimum debt, because that's where his big bucks will come from, not 'nicking' the odd £1m here and there

Yes comma, great that we got rid of players whose time had probably come here. Not so great that we have literally zero senior options from our bench now in an attacking sense and an injury crisis could well see us struggle to field a competitive side (not that attacking is Moyes priority, of course).

Sullivan isnt filling his pockets with West Hams money, he cant as yes it would be theft... its not his money its the clubs and if he chooses not to spend it that doesn't mean he's taking it out of the club... do you not know how football clubs work how old are you 10!

For me this recent window was better than I expected. We got shot of three, heavily and regularly criticised, players who are not up to top half of prem standard . And we brought in a very good midfield player and his addition improves our best eleven though our overall squad now looks thinner.
Importantly we never wasted our money on a not up to much striker as we did last year.

For the people trying to be optimistic thinking we didn’t bring anyone in cos Moyes is going at the end of the season…unfortunately no
The truth of it is, our owner is and always has been a thieving little crook who’s main intention is to fill his pockets with as much money as he can whilst trying to spin that he has the clubs best intentions at heart and unbelievably the majority of our fans believe him

Re: Official Transfer rumours and gossip thread

The only positive is that Moyes might give Cornet a go on the left or be really bold and play SCARLES
George EARTHY could even get a run in midfield. Surely?
I know thats dreaming and we will see JWP out of position on the left and Soucek (SOUCEK!) as a no.10

We were told we have to sell to buy in this window .
Well we did sell so where’s the replacements?
Apart from a loanee player who we did not need.
Joke of a club
