HITC Sevens Alfie’s perfect assessment of West Ham

[threesixty]

He’s got it all in.. sounds a bit like an obituary!

Interesting points about PSR as well.. we’re actually pretty flush in those terms. Brady just lying on the radio. It all does seem rather hopeless whilst Sullivan owns the place.

 

[Keep dreaming]

We were never going down that year. It was a myth. Saved us from relegation indeed..

 

I wasn't in the UK at the time, so maybe not LOL

Please, are you serious?
Its that type of deductions that has put us another 10 years back. Moyes might have saved us from relegation, but where did he put us? An old folks home with fuck all of strength in the camp.

We should have kept Moyes the first time when he kept us up

So you didn't watch the clip?

The club is rotten from the top

I did, yes . It's an example of someone as in Sullivan, who doesn't know how to run a football club. We needed stability after just avoiding relegation.

What 200M loan?

[Pshyco scored all 4]

It's absolutely disgusting how badly run we are.  And how can a businessman as good as kretinsky just sit back and allow this to happen and the same goes for tripp smith . If only we knew what that new £200m loan is for . as its clearly not for players .

Excellent review of whats wrong with us. All West Ham supporters should watch this. Thanks Threesixty.

[Fauxstralian]

A fair & depressing summary of our club
Abysmally run & as said the owners learn nothing from their continual errors. And seem to be completely oblivious to what other clubs are doing to be successful 
The idea that the likes of Brentford, Bournemouth & Brighton are comfortably ahead of us with a fraction of the resources is utterly bonkers.

[Swiss.]

Sums it all up well. Makes very depressing reading and all the reasons we need these owners out. 

wish we could interview Brady and put these points in front of her. 

[scott_d]

Really interesting video stating that we are in no threat of PSR rules right now.

Next video I watched was the Potter Press Conference where he says that it's very difficult to bring players in because of PSR.

Probably not Potters fault to be fair, expect he's being fed the same bullshit from the owners.

[dealcanvey]

Interesting that our Net spend on Transfers is not a million miles away from Arsenal or Liverpool yet we still have plenty of room in the tank regarding PSR.

What a poorly run club we are yet we change nothing.

Same terrible transfer and managerial strategy. 

Even alluding to Potter being told to be on his way followed by the arrival of someone like Dyche, then the whole merry go round starts again.

Video seems pretty much spot on.

A Canning Town Len classic

[eusebiovic]

Brilliant stuff - It's already been posted on the official Sullivan Out petition thread, hopefully admin can add the one below as well so it becomes an archive for all these videos as they come to light in due course

[Massive Attack]

Share with all the hammers you know.

Fucking hell, they need to watch 40 minutes of that to finally get what a shit state we're in after 15 agonising years of the GSB regime?? If fans haven't twigged by now, they never will. It's nicely done though.

[muskie]

Oops analysis sorry.

Mods, you should pin this thread.

[muskie]

This is a superb anslysis of everything that is wrong at WHU. 

Share with all the hammers you know.

[Mad Dog]

I thought this was an absolutely brilliant video

Thought thoroughly depressing 

[Sir Alf]

Every fan should watch this and every fan site should reference it from now on. Relegation is deserved for the owners not the fans and the fans are just an annoyance to Sullivan and co.  

[El Scorchio]

Oh yeah, and while it popped in my mind again, the bit when he calls out the absolute bullshit spouted by our board about PSR and says that West Ham could actually make a 200+ million loss (203 mill was it?) in the next 12 months- which would be the biggest ever loss in a year in premier league history, and still be OK under PSR rules. 
 

[kylay]

The meat of that video starts at minute 17, and christ does it make for depressing listening for west ham fans. Nothing we do not already know though. 

TLDR: (spoiler) Sullivan and the board are the problem because they are amateurs.

[El Scorchio]

Finished it. Yup he's nailed that. Well researched and very damning and scathing and I loved it. Well, I didn't love that it demonstrates our horrible predicament but I love how it is an absolute hatchet job on the owners. Didn't sink into taking the piss out of the club itself or the fans or being condescending as so many similar pieces are while telling us to shut up and keep lapping it up. Needs to be compulsory viewing.

Two very well spoken (and backed up with substantial research and evidence) quotes I've pulled out of the summary at the end:

'West Ham are certainly, in terms of recruitment, the most amateurish club in the premier league'

'But the Hammers' squad, manager and fallen technical directors are symptoms of the club's sickness, not the cause. Until a treatment is administered, almost certainly taking the form of a boardroom excision, the sickness will remain.'

Take a bow Alfie son, take a bow.

Can't see him being welcomed into the bowl any time soon, mind you.

[Sydney_Iron]

Look Brady said on TS that the move to the Bowl has been great for “shareholders “ so let’s be happy about that

Who gives a flying fuck about the fans……..

The only thing that will be worrying the “shareholders” right now is if the crab man could relegate us, so should we get a Dyche in to maintain that requirement of finishing 17tn or a little better so the gravy train keeps paying!

[El Scorchio]

Yeah I'm watching that at the moment actually but only a third through.

The level of detail in breaking down the finances and the levels of investment from the owners vs other clubs is very good in terms of how it's presented, and it's fucking stark how appalling the ratio of investment vs revenue sits, and just how much more other owners have invested in their clubs.
Kudos for mentioning the directors' loan situation too and pointing out that most other owners do it interest free.
