Apologies if already posted but this is what he wrote in The Standard yesterday:
West Ham's new billionaire shareholder Daniel Kretinsky has told supporters not to expect big spending when the transfer window opens in January.
The Czech, who also owns Sparta Prague, secured a 27 per cent stake in West Ham earlier this month, making him the second-largest shareholder. His colleague Pavel Horsky was also appointed to the board of directors.
He arrives with David Moyes' side fourth in the Premier League and making progress in the Europa League, where qualification for the knockout stage as group winners is already guaranteed.
Writing in the Evening Standard, Kretinsky outlined some of the key aims he wants to accomplish at the club and stressed his focus on long-term building rather than expensive quick fixes.
Kretinsky wrote: "Our investment will bring a positive improvement to the club's capital structure, initially enabling a reduction of its long-term debt and increasing the ability to further direct funds generated into key areas. "I hope our business acumen and experience of football will also prove beneficial to West Ham United.
"We have come to support the club but - so as to manage supporters' expectations - that doesn't mean big spending in the January transfer window.
"I'm hugely impressed by the work of David Moyes and his team who have improved results over a long period of time.
"This gradual evolution is, in my opinion, the most healthy way to build a strong club on a firm basis and with the right attitudes and culture.
"I speak from experience. We tried to rush the development of Sparta Prague a couple of years ago and the results were disappointing.
"Improving the quality of the squad is great, of course, but we prefer a gradual way that preserves and protects the ethos of the club and its values, including team spirit.
"Success demands that the focus should be just as much on the academy as on the first-team squad. Again, the world-renowned academy was a great attraction of West Ham.
"Work with young players, as well as engagement with local communities and other social initiatives, are integral to football today. We have to use the power of our sport for the benefit of society.
"The ability of football to influence those from deprived or difficult backgrounds is unique. We have a duty to use that ability so I look forward to helping to expanding the good work in place at the club."
“The Hammers’ fan base is one of the reasons why I wanted to become part of the club,”
“West Ham supporters are among the most passionate and knowledgeable about their club and their football anywhere. I understand that the move to London Stadium was initially difficult for some, but the atmosphere is incredible.”

I'm liking the cut of this chap's jib. The Daves must have asked him to commit to his intent to takeover and he seems to have said "where do I sign".
No wonder wankers like O'Cone and Crusty are desperate to deflect the discussion.

He was reported as saying…slow careful growth of the club,,,and sustainable from cash flow from operations…not major new investments…

I’d expect the Academy to blossom… We should see some young Czech talent come in for development and some of our young hopefuls go out on loan to learn their trade in the Czech league as a natural step to develop before throwing them into the Prem….
Sounds like a great opportunity for us both to benefit from the partnership, we could be into something.

So it's probably nailed on then that the day after the clause expires, Sullivan and Gold sell up and the great WHU money heist is complete.
How much profit do they stand to make?

Re: The end is nigh for GSB?

This confirms what I posted a few weeks back on here. He would not have bought such a large chunk of shares if there wasn't an greement with Sullivan of a sale of enough shares to give him control and ownership of the club.
Probably around April 2023.
So as long as Kretinsky's finances remain stable then expect to see GSB gone within a couple of years.

They can have as many around the table as they like, it is down to share holding when it comes to the decisions and that is Sullivan right now
I suspect that it may well be more to do with watching how the Czechs and perhaps Tripp strategise and operate corporately, exactly what I would do were I an aging billionaire with family set to inherit my life's work
