It does feel different now that the national press and pundits have got Sullivan directly in their sights and are calling him out as self-serving and incompetent. Obviously this is massive wishful thinking on my part but it does feel to me as though something big is about to happen. I suspect it will still have to get worse before it gets better but it’s good that people outside of our fanbase see where the real blame lies.

Another fine takedown of the little man in today's Observer:

"Somewhere in the middle of this, David Sullivan largely seems to avoid the consequences of his actions, but this is his mess far more than anyone else’s. The pint-sized ex-porn lord is chair, largest shareholder (39%), de facto director of football and chief negotiator once more, despite the overwhelming suspicion that he thinks analytics is a new-fangled kink."

Will probably get them in on loan. Another 15 games to get them fit/up to speed and then they'll be off to AFCON.
injured in the AFCON and out for the rest of the season  🤣

Good points AThammer. Its an exercise in fultility for all of us though. Sullivan and Brady are going nowhere. They believe they are doing a good job. Brady part time CEO on over a million. Shes interested in brand “Brady”,  West Ham are not her priority.  The Sullivans are blaming everything on Potter and being backed up by various sychophantic agents.

People got to understand. The mayors office ain't selling the OS to Sullivan. And certainly not at that price. But don't fret. I would imagine certain agent people will make sure that £200 is well invested.!

Do they have any money to belatedly rectify this situation? Arguably yes but lots of waffle about PSR which is code for not wanting to put their own money in. Sullivan prefers a third party loan and one suspects that Trip Smith and Kretinsky must be horrified by the asset diminution but unwilling to put money in that is "managed" by Sullivan and Brady. 
Is a good manager going to come here and work in this environment? No.
Are we likely to bring in a fireman after 2 games this season? (Potter has failed over more than 20 games)? Conceivable.
Will we buy the legs in midfield of a quality that Brady says everyone can see we need? Unlikely. 
Will Sullivan bottle a decision? Probably.  
A vicious circle that sits firmly with the way the club is run. An unbalanced team stuffed full of "backing the manager" rubbish; Ward-Prowse; Kilman; and now Potter's signings looking both inappropriate and shaky. Good players being devalued through poor team management.
Meanwhile we are bombarded with the working night and day narrative. If they are then they are busy fools as for another season they have achieved jack shit. It is simply manifestly apparent much earlier in the season this time.
The 15 or so years of G(RIP);S;B;K have been disastrous for the club. Far from the Jim White saviour of the club version, Sullivan and Brady are closing in on terminal cancer for our club. All of the crap we watch on the pitch; the piss poor manager/head coach appointments; the money pissed up the wall on inappropriate signings; the Fawlty Towers training facility (mortgaged); the drivel we hear from the press conferences; the escalating debt; PSR issues are all directly attributable to the board. They are totally out of their depth as the house of cards they built collapses around them.
Not much of a World Class Team in a World Class Stadium is it?

Incompetent arseholes.

It’s not all doom and gloom 🤷‍♂️Expect Sullivan and the board will be coming up with ideas to promote next seasons derby fixtures, Millwall  of course will be the big one but let’s not forget QPR, then hopefully a bigger London club in the Cups, Brentford at home should get the tourists through the turnstiles…..,,

Money. Tho their 1 huge credit they have absolutely nailed that mission of theirs. They've smashed it by smashing our fanbase to bits. Impressive shit if you weren't a fan that genuinely cared so much like we all do.

No, it's definitely Sullivan that has killed us. It's not the Fans fault that have tried and tried to oust them. We literally hurled coins at his tiny brain to try and get rid of him.

He just won't let go of the Club. He's pretty much despised by everyone bar those that are paid handsomely by him. 15 long years at it and he just won't let go like a mad dictator till he probably snuffs it like Gold did. Yet it is the loyal diehard Fans in our droves that have decided to leave instead because we've had enough of all the bollocks.

Does anyone else remember at the beginning of their reign how they both said "we are only Custodians of this great Football Club and that it is us the Fans that truly own it" or words to that effect? And that if what they do is not good enough then they'd look to pass it on to someone else. He sits in the same Boardroom as Kretinsky who if offered it I reckon would take it on. As he has pumped in a shitload already into the Club, so would find it hard to believe he wouldn't want the gig. So fucking offer it then you pathetic mess! It would be what everyone wants to hear now as you've made such a catastrophe of everything, there is no more time or money that'll change anything for the better. It's done.

But no, he's stubbornly can't let go and we all suffer as we watch our great Club disappear before our eyes, utterly helpless having exhausted every possible avenue to oust them. 

The game is up stunt growth. LEAVE.
