Summer Transfer Window 2025 | Official Thread

Post stubbo-admin »


May as well get going with this since with Sullivan at the helm, season ticket renewals slow, and the football vacuum to commence, this will soon be all the "news" there is.

Can Potter and MacCauley pull multiple rabbits out of the hat, or will Sullivan 'try really hard' with all of them before grabbing a few aging bargains from Big Willie Salthouse?

Blimey, Igor is a desperately poor signing if that happens.

It really beggars belief at how we continually bring in such shit.

Been a piss poor window. Compounded by Potter clearly having zero interest in our youth players. 

There really isn’t any building blocks at the club to feel positive about. Just another desperate shuffle of the pack to suit a shit manager that most likely won’t see the season out.

It always baffles me how those cunts moan about levy, they spank loads of money on transfers, they've challenged for titles, they've got a great new stadium

But yeah he's run them into the ground

But yeah he's worse than sullivan according to them

Cunts.

Another window. More millions of pounds invested. Yet they claim he’s the worst chairman in the league. Fucking melts. They don’t know they are born. They wouldn’t last one window under Sullivan 
Bad comparison. Daniel Levy has never invested a single penny into Tottenham.

Didnt see it on the bbc list of deals done & nothing on the o/s

I see the Guehi deal has now collapsed because Igor didn’t go to Palace. 

So no extra midfielder or striker
So by nicking what looks like a donkey from under Palace's noses we've basically strengthened them.. You have to laugh..

Think I'm still on a high from yesterday's performance but I think it's been a decent transfer window.  Things are moving in the right direction in regards to signing younger players.  Who needs Kudus when you have Summerville?

Yes, shareholder loan interest charges are now zero and have been since November 20221, when those loans were repaid.

Of those repaid loans of £53.5 million, £44 million attracted interest at 4%, £9.5 million were interest free.
Im sure at one stage the loans were accruing at 8% and when there was a public outcry they graciously reduced the rate to 4% because they loved the club so much.

sold Kudus & not really replaced him. If Bowen or Summerville get injured we’re fucked.
GK I will reserve judgement.

Two left backs/ left wing backs have gone in Emerson and Cresswell and one has come in. So Diouf replaces one of them, we are left one senior left back/ left wing back short.

If Diouf gets injured KWP or AWB will have to fill in out of position.

Back to square pegs in round holes under Sullivan and his constant squad decimation.

As much as I detest Sullivan he hasn't "trousered" any money!

Check the financial accounts if he's taken a £17m directors salary then you are correct. Otherwise can we stop pretending Sullivan is stealing from the club coffers because it fits our narrative.

What we should be holding against him is the continued interest he charges us the club for his loans. But Im not sure that would account for £17m either!

Can anyone confirm the interest charges?

And yes his lack of personal investment since he took ownership is crap but the club needs to be self funding.
 
Did you watch the HITC expose on West Ham?
The guy has invested the least amount of money of any PL club ever I think. Remember this guy didnt even have to fund a stadium build. He got a 99yr lease for peanuts and redeveloped Upton Park. Thats like free money. I think in total he/Gold invested 100m since he bought the thing and that's a loan with interest that's probably never going to get paid. On top of that his 31% he is using as collateral for other deals I imagine. Finally, all these deals through trusted agents is a very convenient way of taking money out of the club and giving it to his "friends".

He hasn't "given" anything to the club from what I can see. He's done what the Glazers did. Used financial leverage and credit worthiness to own an asset that constantly pays him out with no jeopardy to himself. 
Not exactly "entrepreneurial" as that requires and element of risk, where was the risk for Sullivan?
Can't disagree as I didnt say any of that, in fact I said his lack of personal investment is crap, but he still hasn't "trousered" any money. 
 
 
No he hasn't "stolen" anything, its all legal.. but morally... well he is the king of "immoral earnings" lol

Palace have paid £20.8m for 20 year old Jaydee Canvot, Cresswell’s centre back partner at Toulouse. So we were both going for Toulouse centre backs and Igor Julio.

Seriously tho, worse than I thought. Sullivan trouserinv the Aguerd money and no one coming in is what will happen.  He trousered £17 million from Kudus deal and now Aguerd fee. Does it every window. Spends some but is always thinking about getting cash in longer term. Trouble is none of us can see the books and how the amortisation works. But Sullivan and board only ever put in an initial stake to buy shares and then spend the club money in a ponzi scheme by borrowing against future revenues, even payments of future fees, Tv revenues, ticket revenues, mortgaging all fixed assets and now selling stakes in the womens team.  Lots of clubs do it I guess but West Ham owners never invest either.  Only thing they do is gove loabs to the club and earn money in interest back. 

In short, we need a CB, another centre mid and striker to have a strong squad. We are 2 ir 3 injuries away from “bare bones”. The “Sullivan Effect”.  

“No more BS” !!
