He waits until the asset is on its knees, then he swoops. He is not going to put in a penny more until he has control, dilution for Sullivan.

Think about it: why is Sullivan borrowing from these external groups at a high interest, when Kretinsky could EASILY offer a shareholder loan? Because Kretinsky thinks Sullivan is a buffoon.

He is waiting for Sullivan to come begging, then he has the power to exert control. 

Kretinsky whole game is about using time to gain leverage, like a python slowly squeezing its victim.

If your busy model relies on selling an academy product for £100m+ every season, you’re not fit for purpose.

I work with public market companies. This sort of announcement would undoubtedly lead to a change in CEO and shareholders wanting proper answers.

I'd wait for the commentary from people well versed in football finances before soaking my slacks, not youtubers or dickheads like you lot. 

Selling players was inevitable upon getting relegated, again why are we surprised at this 'news'? If we stay up by some minor miracle then we have enough assets to be able to keep a couple of gooduns but even so, we're a shit team, how good are they in reality? Fuck em. 

Takashi numbnut ranting about Kilman, Taty and Pablo - these signings are not the problem, in fact Taty and Pablo have been very positive - the damage was done in the Pellegrini and Moyes eras with signings like Anderson, Haller, Vlasic, Scamacca, Benrahma, JWP and undoubtedly tens of others. Short term self centred managers, thinking about today and not tomorrow and getting it wrong - and the hopeless daft cunts running the club allowing them to do it. We aint even seeing the impact of the disastrous Kilman signing yet. That cսnt is a millstone around our necks that will hang around like the bad AIDS. But we're yet to fully enjoy the consequences of that one. 

I'm up for a few years in the championship, bin off the mercenaries, get the youth in. Fuck the accounts, fuck the board and fuck all your fucking mothers. 

who's panicking? the club was dead/on life support the minute the 4ft freak walked through the door, and who cares about maintaining 17th to 10th every year under these crooked cunts? if it brought us closer to a new start and people in charge, bring on the drop. that they only took over in the first place  to get hold of the land where the stadium lies, and the current london mayor never signing over the land to anyone any time soon, we're pretty much in limbo for the foreseeable future. I know all about the fucking players you listed, why do you think I disliked moyes so much and his depreciation of expensive signings, but that's history and I'm talking about us having to believe that they're laying out the sums quoted for substandard players. none of it makes any sense, but football has long been out of control so the money keeps flowing to the right people
