If the “look at me” cսnt applied for the apprentice exactly how long would she last before Sugar loses his boot up her useless arse? Don’t know how she’s got the brass neck to even acknowledge she’s anything to do with our shitshow, same self awareness as the Welsh midget.
I often think that when I've seen her sneering at the contestants on the apprentice. I would rather have the mattress salesman bosh guy on the board than that fucking chancer.

Where's this rumour come from? Surely Sullivan wouldn't just sleepwalk into a scenario where he's not the decision maker any longer. He's not stupid in terms of business.
It could just be a loan. Then there’s no impact ownership.
I'd think so if it's true. There's no way unless he was absolutely fucking skint and desperate that Sullivan would just offer up his controlling share in the club so easily and meekly for the sake of 90 million quid.

Brady playing her face again on the official site, covering a whole number of issues, looking for kudos for matters which should have been a given, and concluding "Thank you once again for being part of this journey. Have a fantastic summer, we’ll see you back at London Stadium, ready to write the next chapter."
Let's examine that journey over, say, 10years?
As we are constantly reminded she is a brilliant business woman. So, perhaps "A World Class Team in a World Class Stadium with World Class Transport Links" was a mission statement rather than a sound bite lobbed at us mugs.
Let's consider what our vice chairman and her colleagues have delivered to date. In my view we have a third rate manager in a third rate stadium with a team using third world training facilities. The world class talent we do possess is being flogged because we are told we are skint.  We punters leave the ground to a painful stop go process because the world class transport links apparently can't cope with 60k "customers" plus Westfield shoppers. Arrival and departure at those stations regularly involves a rail replacement bus and the stations are about half a mile from the ground.
It could be argued that my comments are a cynical opinion. Unfortunately that isn't the case, they are verifiable.
The journey the Baroness refers to has been one of change but no progress for the club. 
My hope for the next chapter is that the circus fucks off. They have failed at every level.

...and, if they treat Potter like shit in this transfer window then if he has got any self respect he should walk out on the opening game of the season.  Now that would send a message to the board.

Encouraging to see that someone else has finally put into words something I've been saying almost since Sullivan bought the club.

I expect that, like Brown before him, he uses the club and it's facilities to impress those outside football he does business with and so PL survival is all that matters.
It may well be all that matters to him, but it ain't gonna happen!

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.

Then when I cast her off after a year or so, she won't be able to go back to Paul and her life will be ruined. Without her, Sullivan won't be able to impact anywhere near as much and he'll just sell to the highest bidder.

I read earlier that Mark Noble has said “judge us at the end of the transfer window” I seem to recall him uttering the words “this club is not run like a circus anymore” a while back. I hope not, bit it sounds very much like Nobes has been drinking Sullys bath water. Soapy fucker.

I seem to recall that we were told that this money was used to reduce debt and pay back director loans.
With a bit of foresight, however investment of some of that money could have been made in a proper training facility. It wasn't.
With a bit of foresight investment could have been made in a director of football and enhancing the infrastructure of the club, enlarging the scouting network and improving the data analysis capability. People like Brian Marwood, then at City; Dan Ashworth; Edu; etc. as well as clubs across Europe were implementing this structure. GSB did not bother. Settling for short term gain. 
There was a second bite of this cherry when Kretinsky came on board. West Ham declined to join.
The clubs that did adopt this approach are now reaping the financial rewards such an approach brings. European football; state of the art training facilities; attracting and retaining top talent, or selling it on at a profit.
GSB, Brady in particular, sold a "dream" "World Class Team in a World Class Stadium with World Class Transport Links." 
This could have been a vision that formed the basis of putting in place an infrastructure to deliver success. As it is, it is this was simply a sound bite for the masses with no substance at all, probably script written for her.
I feel insulted when we are told there is no money. If that is the case the blame sits with the board for their poor stewardship.
I feel insulted when I am told the Likes of Alvarez; Paqueta (if not banned) and Kudus must be sold to buy unknowns from Scandinavia or scavenging around the bins of the likes of Burnley and Southampton. Don't you build your team around the best players rather than flog them to buy inferior ones?
I find it ridiculous that we employ managers who can actively reduce the value of these players, just as they did with Anderson; Haller; Scammaca and Aguerd.  
I feel insulted when the likes of Bournemouth; Brighton; Brentford are shown up as not only having better training facilities but a better infrastructure to attract and secure talent. What is their history? What are their "World Class" credentials? They have vision, strategy, tactics and infrastructure to deliver the short, medium and long term objectives and the intelligence to be agile in a changing world.  
I feel insulted when the perception of our manager and their style of play is reported by suggested, prospective transfer targets as being unattractive. I understand it but we are the academy of football FFS.
I am sure Brady and Sullivan would be absolutely delighted if the club were successful. In their roles however it is their jobs to make that happen. They have proven beyond doubt unwilling and incapable of that.
The petition is a start, the FSA survey will likely give Brady in particular some real home truths about her "deal of the century".
It would be nice to see this circus pack up it's tent and fuck off.    
 
 
Yup, in terms of the playing side of the club it's all geared toward the here and now with absolutely zero long term thinking or planning, Has been for the whole time they've been in charge. Every time they've managed to luck out of a crisis one way or another and into some success, they have absolutely sleepwalked into another one through zero consolidation or desire to build. It's all reactive and never proactive. Sullivan can't get his head round buying a player for the future rather than the absolute here and now. When your owner doesn't believe in that, you're absolutely doomed because it's never, ever going to change, meanwhile club after club are leapfrogging us with far less resource by embracing forward thinking and long term planning.

I think we're close to the end . Sullivan is potless and nobody's buying his property's around London. Only thing that can maintain his lifestyle is the sale of the hammers .
