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?
Window this close season comes in two parts:
Part 1: 1st June to 10th June
Part 2: 16th June to 1st September
Nailed on that we'll have no money but "We tried" (early in the window) for players Potter on his team want, but more than enough money and are "beating them off with a shitty stick", (late in the window) for players that Sullivan & his agent/mates want (and have always wanted from the get go).

with £13.5 million to cough-up, expect the CCCP-midget to be looking at OAP's to make up team numbers.

Because that's where Sullivan and Co. usually release their rumours.

Linked to another 30+yo (32 this year) Free transfer, Semedo. See the policy of significantly lowering the age of the Squad is going well..
Why do you read made up bollocks from those fansites? You might as well phone clubcall.

There is absolutely nobody in football who respects our diminutive chairman and his performative feminist sidekick...
As soon as they clock his methods it's a case of put on your tin hat and wait for the redundancy payoff and if you can get away with the odd backhander at his expense then...so be it.
It's a MENTAL situation

apparently just confirmed by that minge romano, emerson on his way. the midget asset stripping is in full flow
Where’s he going?
Don't worry, nowhere in Ireland thank god.
Or worse, it could be Austria and I’d have to spend hours explaining that although it sounds like Australia it’s a completely different country.

Emerson rumoured to be going to Lazio
Interesting as a former Roma player
Article I was reading said there was interest in him & Potter will allow him to leave
Was supposed to be leaving last summer & wasn’t the same player last season

Hmmm.
OK, a potentially mildly amusing start to next season:
Potter absolutely refuses to include in the squad any players Sullivan has bombed on him and uses (what is left of) this season's academy players instead.
Would fully expect Sullivan to clear out the whole youth of this year's sector to ensure that can't happen..

so you can say the move to the new stadium was the right thing to do (financially).
For them (The Board).

Money gets Tight.
The SHIT gets Real.!
Fortunately. Or unfortunately. (Depending on how you view ownership.?) The people at the top are having to show their cards.
Real shame.....

I'm making the point that we do a poor job of recruiting players. The size of amortisation impact will be driven by the size of the fees we pay (and the length of the contract).
we also dont have the overheads of running a football stadium, so you can say the move to the new stadium was the right thing to do (financially).

As long as you don't buy any players.
Anyway, it is rare for any club to have negative EBITDA. West Ham aren't an exception as you suggested.

It’s part of player trading, not a reflection of day to day running of the club.

So, you agree. An operating loss of 30 million.
Almost every club has a positive EBITDA. Ridiculous to exclude player amortisation when analysing football club accounts
