Yep, and there lies the rub.

After 15 years, due to his pig-headed stubborn refusal to operate a player scouting network which by all known estimates would only cost about 2% a season of that £145 million debt on very high interest like the rates on an average credit card.

His refusal to implement a structure where the club does all the homework and due diligence itself before even having to contact an agent means the way Sullivan and his performative feminist sidekick run the club isn't fit for purpose.

If you make say an 80% profit on a few gems that get sold on then you don't need more than half a dozen of those to wipe out that debt over the 15 years to make it all worthwhile.

It's cognitive dissodance - mental illness at it's finest 🤯

I rest my case as a lawyer might say 😔
Dear Big Sam, 
or grow some fucking bollocks and stand by your principles, you don’t have to say a word, just walk so you wouldn’t violate any NDA, cowardly greedy cold sore covered cսnt.


Don't think Allardyce really gave a shit though, It didn't matter as much then, it seemed, as you didn't sense the 'Sullivan specials' were actually compromising actual transfer policy. It was just some no mark striker from Peru for 500k or something who might get 10 mins here and there. It's actually really harming and dictating transfer policy of late because they are multi million pound deals impacting other multi million pound deals the manager NEEDS, and the squad isn't healthy enough to be able to carry these players. It's grown from a small annoying pimple to a massive tumour.

Grant obviously didn't give a flying fuck about anything either.

When Bilic started speaking his mind it was the beginning of the end and he just stopped caring as well hence the dildo brothers press conference. 
Spot on. 

I also suspect the decision for Moyes not to expect the new contract was over player transfers and their and Steidten's control over them.

Agree GBHammer but same could be said about all other managers that Sullivan has appointed. Bilic did say after he had left that Sullivan put out lies about all the good signings being his and the bad ones Bilic but while in the job he just got on with things. 

Zola, Grant while not the answer were treated very poorly and Moyes and now Potter being undermined by the Sullivan family who continue to independently bring players in that are not necessarily on Macaulay and Potter’s list. You just do not run a business that way regardless of industry and expect success when you’re background and experience is nit in that industry ( ie professionak football).

problem is Sullivan’s weak psychology and ego. He’s a little bloke which has been something that will certainly have affected him growing up but also look at his life? A bloke who was prepared to sell his soul via the porn industry to make a living and it extends to buying his wives or partners. Sure we might all do it but it is unlikely that his “wives” are intimate, loving companions for life and that is what makes a person feel good about themselves in the end… relationships.

It would be interesting to know his background, his parents, childhood as there is undoubtedly narcisstic personality disorder traits on display. Was he abused, hated mother? Did his dad leave or ignore him or he didnt meet expectations? Because he seemd to need to validate himself all the time. Wealth alone cannot make someone feel goid about themselves or as they say “make you happy”.  Anyway, at West Ham no real progress is possible until he meets his maker but then we might be stuck with Dave Jnr and Jack?  It seems Dave Jnr was allowed to play agent and negotiator on the KWP deal so even if Sully pops his clogs the problems may remain?

Nothing changes until Sullivan’s gone or meets his maker. Of course the sons could be worse 😱
To make sure "his agent mates get some dosh". Can people not see this is about lining his own pocket...not Salthouse. Salthouse is a facilitator....a legitimate way of extracting money from the Club, and then channelling it post extraction.

He doesn't favour Salthouse and try and give him money because he's a mate. It's because there is personal gain involved.
Yep, Sullivan doesn’t care any more about the club or any of you than the latest three bed semi he’s bought to sell in the future, amazing how many are too thick to see it though.

I do have a solution to speed up the process. Rig the fucker just as GSB managed with their bullshitting loaded YouGov Questionnaire that they then used against the fanbase as 'concrete proof' for moving. Purposely manufactured questions in such a way that presented fans as really wanting to leave The Boleyn for the Olympic Stadium. So what's good for the goose is good for the gander... 

I doubt it would be necessary anyway as the signatures should eventually become substantial, more to make the point they blagged it to get a desired result.

It's worth noting that just about 5,600 have now already signed it. Some didn't think it would get more than a few hundred once upon a time due to apathy. I reckon we could double that before the seasons out.

It may well make no difference, but if you don’t sign up it’s like giving Sullivan and Brady the green light.
GBHammer gets it.
It should, but many don't think the petition will do anything. 

There's a disengaged fanbase or indifferent. 

I remember in the early days leafletting for Hammers United and the amount of comments about how people enjoyed what the club was doing was mind-blowing. This would have been 2019 and I don't think much has changed. 

We used to be followed by men, now it's birds galore and their effeminate lefty male mates instagramming, away fans in the home end and tourists. 

Relegation might do us a favour.

Where is the petition?
Link to the petition is stickied as an announcement on the Football Forum.

Looks like the announcements don't show up when you view this site as All Forums, which I imagine a lot of people do.
Good spot. Is stickied to All Forums now too.
