Even then it was nowhere near £40m.

You're way off the mark.

Oh yeah, you’re right, then went to Manchester United for the big money.

Also read the other day we've only sold one player in our whole history for over 25 million quid. (Rice, of course) Given our outlay on players that's pretty shocking. Really proves the short sighted nature of our dealings and complete lack of thought to a bigger picture or anything past the next 18 months. We've had ample opportunity to course correct under Sullivan and turned away from it at every opportunity.

Deeply ironic that Newman was allegedly told to do one by Sullivan when presenting his plan to try and grab more prospective Rices from grade 2 and 3 academies.

Bournemouth, Brighton & Brentford… all much better clubs run in a professional manner
If the cancer that is Sullivan owned any of them they’d be playing non league
Nothing good is happening until he and the slag Brady are run out of the club.

Football Focus did an article on Brentford on Saturday. Lineker interviewed Frank, they did some stuff on their community projects and ended with interviewing their director of football. The thing that I most gained from it was professionalism and unity. Two things that are totally missing at West Ham right now. Sullivan is the antithesis. We need to get him out.

They must have been laughing all the way to the bank on that one. This is just another one of the few pathetic over priced panic buy underwhelming signings we have made in recent times.
The Miniature Make-believe Muscovite must have thought that he'd snapped up a real bargain in that deal...

Did they spend more than us?  Don't think so. The difference is ho they are run. The right coaching appointments, going all out for the right signings instead of making obviously poor signings on foreign misfits and crocks. Signing Watkins instead of Benhrama.  Same with any successful club. 

Unser Sullivan we are a mess. We will have some good times here and there but we are destined to always end up in the place we are in, and this time we've spent a LOT of money to get there. 

Wont change until he packs it in and sells up. 
Villa have only been back in the Premier League for 5 years and they were fighting relegation under Dean Smith and then Gerrard. Emery was appointed less than two and  a half years ago and Monchi hasn't even been there two years yet... so it just goes to show the impact of the right appointments.

The chasm between us is best evidenced by the fact that when they were clearing out the shit, they got rid of Ings whereas we picked him up

A woefully run football club. As others have said before, it beggars belief that this cսnt has amassed so much money, given his failings with players and managers. Then again, he got an athletics stadium for peanuts, so I guess we’re the real mugs for putting up with this shit.

The love island wannabe cսnt son will get control when he goes, so no end to this nightmare anytime soon.

The state of the club is actually shocking.

I’m struggling to see more than 8 players in our squad that are worth keeping. For the money we have spent and the wage bill we have, we are in a sorry state long term. 

The transition from Moyes should have been a great prospect, but instead this idiot appoints Lopetegui and spends 150m to cement the club to the bottom half.

We have four players out on loan that we invested £110m in. 

There is little about the club to identify with anymore, and for the amount of time he has been here, there has never been a clear direction or football ethos. It beggars belief how he could be happy with his own chairmanship.

He's got what/all he wants - continuous membership of Brand PL.

He can plan with that knowing exactly what the club will receive every year for finishing (at least) 17th.

Any higher, or any profits made from player trading is additional bunce in his sky, and with the "right" players, additional folding for his mates.

Why should he change/go?
