Mr Smith the 10% share holder.
It seems it a very closed secret as to how much he paid Gold for his shares in the club.

Everything these two lying dodgepots are involved in needs scrutinising.

Re: Mr Smith the 10% share holder.
He didn't buy the shares from Gold did he, did you mean the Icelandic bank?

Perhaps it will come out in the wash from the US side a bit like the Ayew "£20m" transfer record breaking purchase was shown to be nothing but a deal on tick from the Swansea accounts.

Willtell 10:43 Sun Feb 4
Re: Mr Smith the 10% share holder.
He did buy the shares retained by the Icelandic bankers. Not David Gold or his family.

I'd be very surprised... he's up to his neck in the Coolmore operations all over the world... we had our chance with him when Harry was here... the one that got away I'm afraid... real shame as if he had run us like he has Coolmore we would not be where we are now that's for sure...

That's good to know that Tripp Smith wants in.

Re: Mr Smith the 10% share holder.
you would have thought that with his contacts Mr Tripp would be able to get the right people involved in buying the club.

Gavros 3:11 Tue Feb 6
Re: Mr Smith the 10% share holder.
this fellow is an expert in leveraged finance. the sort of thing that Man U did when the glaziers bought it by selling man U's own future income up front.

The Dildo's already of course have a lot of debt loaned to the club. Id imagine Tripp was offered in so that he could optimise the debt to equity mix before sale, which is particularly important here given the taxpayer clawback clause.

mallard 5:18 Tue Feb 6
Re: Mr Smith the 10% share holder.
Tripp can have my £10 share if he wants

Willtell 5:39 Tue Feb 6
Re: Mr Smith the 10% share holder.
Leveraged buy-outs are where bank borrowings are very high in relation to the share capital. It would probably make West Ham even deeper in debt...

Re: Mr Smith the 10% share holder.
If you're lying face down in the shit, the depth of the shit is not important.
