It'll be interesting to know Potter's change of heart on this transfer, considering it was reported he had turned him down a few days ago. Me too. I hope that it isn't that Potter doesn't rate KWP.. Mind you it could simply be that KWP wanted too much money at first. A lot of clubs were reported as...

I've long felt that Steidten was badly treated. He clearly wasn't given final say on any deals except those that he could get blamed for if or when they go wrong. And he got some wrong but no means as wrong as the previous set up we have returned to. And there are signs of where Sullivan's grubby m...

I don’t want to piss on everyone’s cornflakes but I have a feeling that it will be a while before we see any signings in spite of selling Kudus. Sullivan is Sullivan and can’t help himself. If the accountants predict a £100m loss in the current year then you can be sure Sullivan will avoid all expen...

For me Potter is unproven and likely to be sacked if his early performances as our manager are to go by. Letting him build a team and selling our better players to do that is just plain crazy in my book. We just need a manager to make the players we have work well as a team with minimal changes. Tha...

I read this morning that WHU fanzines are treading back on the Diouf signing not yet being agreed.

How could it be when Sullivan hasn't sold anyone yet so no chance....

Absolutely right about Sullivan Faux. We need to sell to buy because WHU under his control is a shit show of lurching from crisis to crisis. Now we're selling our best players to replace them with unproven youngsters because some clubs like Brighton and Brentford did well doing just that.  The real ...

Sullivan gobbed off too much about needing to sell before we buy but, created a failing club image he needed to live down. It highlighted the failings of his 15 years of managing WHU.  I don't think a director's loan would satisfy PSR regulations so where's the £90m coming from?. I'm sure that it's ...

I agree with your sentiments Sir Alf. I also think the £90m is smoke and mirrors just the same as all the signings we are being linked to. We will have sold someone by the time Potter gets a couple of players in and runs a small squad so that profits return... A lack of season ticket sales might be ...

An excellent summary of what is wrong with the WHU board ATHammer.

According to Hammers News Brady has admitted that Potter has been targeted with avoiding relegation for next season. That sums up Sullivan & Brady's ambitions. 

I heard a couple of years ago that Sullivan was outvoted by Kretinsky, the Gold family and the main minority shareholders to put a DOF in charge of transfers. This was apparently 'sold' to Sullivan as the modern way forward if they were ever to be able to sell their shareholdings when a future billi...

The constant in all this is the pattern of Sullivan & Brady's business style. Whenever they try to honour the promise of "World class team in a world class stadium" they fail. They sacked progressive Zola for top level 'experience' of Avram Grant who relegated us. They sacked Grant to ...

It's typical Sullivan so expect no new players until late in the next window even if a few player sales are made. A big loss on the accounts needs to be averted in the only way Sullivan knows and that means player sales of say £60m comes off bottom line losses less the players' values still shown on...

Are we sure that this is a Sullivan buy? Might he be someone that Potter wants?

There's a grave danger in allowing Potter to select players for next season. The facts are clear for all to see. Potter is not a PL manager any longer and probably never was. He did well in Denmark and then an up and coming Brighton where the owner devised the smart, identification for player acquis...

For the love of Trevor Brooking, just hurry up and get on with it Kretinsky in buying all these fuckers out and in turn stop any know-nothing Yank pretenders looking for a quick buck. I doubt that this will happen as Kretinsky must be too busily wrapped up in his new ownership of Post Office. That'...

Tommy is a conundrum isn't he? He scores goals regularly, makes several defensive clearances and headers every game and covers a lot of ground while looking lazy. He isn't entirely comfortable on the ball so lays it off quickly rather than run with it and be challenged. If Moyes or Leeds wants him a...

I'm delighted for Potter as he isn't going anywhere it seems. At least Potter showed that he can win games but I do wonder at his selections, tactics and substitutions even though it worked out yesterday. However, this Man Utd was not the old Man Utd who would have definitely scored and punished our...

I watched Fat Frank's loss at home to Sunderland. I watched the game just to see how Frank's doing at Coventry. Championship seems to be his level as I think he did well at Derby too although losing the final. I still have fond memories of his times at WHU...

I got bored listening to Potter...

I'm a bit surprised we are keeping Antonio to be honest. 35 and returning from a badly broken leg seems an unlikely choice even as a back-up striker for next season. Or perhaps they aren't telling him until he is fully recovered and can be tested fully?

Let's be honest here. For Sullivan, the fans count for nothing and the only thing he fears is losing PL status and TV £millions. I reckon it's all in Potter's hands for the next four remaining games. Lose all four and Sullivan will definitely fire him. A couple of wins and draws will keep Potter in ...

I am sure that I remember Sullivan saying a while back that "Potter wasn't the reason Brighton were successful, the owner identified players that would be great in PL" or words to that effect.  It just shows how knee jerk Sullivan is in appointing managers. He slagged off Mourinho in the p...
