Should have got Tabor in.... biggest mistake ever
If Tabor sold everything he owns he would not have enough to buy the club now

This geezer is not the messiah. He will be looking to get as much cash as he cab from the club, it won't be his toy or a front for a Middle Eastern state.

Totally agree NS. We can but dream that he renews his interest.

The clear opportunity with us is acquiring the stadium asset on the cheap.
This at some stage is inevitable given the continued losses it makes.
When that happens the clubs overall value will soar aling with any stake held in the club.
Gold in his interview talked about "losing money" on the loans he's put into West Ham over where those assets were previously.
But the club's sale value has risen by more than 100% since they bought us so his "loss making investments" pale in significance when looking at the bigger picture.
I've no trouble with them making money off of us as it goes but only if they fund the business appropriately along the way, which means investment in players (which IS the business of football).
The horse on every other aspect of what has happened has long since bolted.
They now either need to admit they can't fund the progression of the side adequately and fuck off, or to start implementing the myriad if funding mechanisms to get money into the club to improve the playing staff (and even that might be too late given our precarious position).

And the businesses they target are totally different from football clubs. The way to make money from a football club is in the long term, retaining PL status, and if the ambition and funding is there being in the CL. Acquiring us, selling our playing staff and being relegated do not good business sense, nor profit, make.
