No More BS!
Under Brady and Sullivan’s stewardship, West Ham United is dying.
They sold off the Boleyn Ground and moved us to an athletics stadium, voted by many as the worst football ground in the country, which we don’t even own. We rent it!
They put “London” on our badge, cast aside our heritage, and told us “history starts today.”
They called us "customers", not fans, made promises that were never kept, and accepted no responsibility for anything.
They’ve hired and fired a succession of managers, none of whom stood a chance of delivering the “world class team” we were promised with those two running the show.
They’ve sold our best players for less than their worth and thrown away too much of our Club’s money on ageing journeymen looking for a payday, and cheap no-hopers who couldn’t cut it in the Premier League.
Our training facilities might be embarrassing, but not as embarrassing as the series of PR disasters Brady and Sullivan have walked into head first, humiliating themselves and our Club.
Sullivan’s reputation for making ludicrous bids on quality players, resulting in deal after deal falling through, saw him christened as one half of the “Dildo Brothers”.
Brady became known as “Brady The Child Ticket Snatcher” following the cynical attack on our youngest, oldest and disabled fans who found themselves on the verge of having their concession tickets taken away. And for what? To raise about half of what “Brady The Child Ticket Snatcher” earns as a bonus.
Any sense of humility from either of these two? Not a bit of it. And why would there be?
They’ve created the worst matchday experience in the Premier League, and turned the LS into a neutral ground where we’ve suffered heavy defeats the likes of which were rarely seen at the Boleyn Ground.
As for the “world class stadium”, instead of the retractable seating we were promised, we got a carpet and a wall.
They shrugged their shoulders as thousands of loyal, long term fans walked away in disgust, but still they allow our fans to be treated like 2nd class citizens by incompetent stewards.
We have away fans causing trouble in our “home ends”, while our own fans are subjected to bans, prosecutions and criminal records for “offences” as trivial as throwing a serviette.
They’ve cited PSR as a reason for not upgrading a squad that narrowly avoided the drop, and yet in the published accounts for the financial year ending 31st May 2024 the board stated ‘the Group is likely to require further funding within the next twelve months either from third parties or from shareholders'.
Has that additional funding been secured? And if not, why have shareholders not put the required funding in to keep the club competitive?
Whatever the reasons, we’re now odds on for our 2nd relegation under Brady and Sullivan.
No last minute player signings or empty promises of brighter times ahead are going to work anymore. We’ve been down this road with Brady and Sullivan too many times before, and now it has to stop!
We will always support the team, but the regime has had its day!
It’s not just Hammers United’s members that are demanding an end to Brady and Sullivan’s stewardship of our great Club. Across the board, West Ham fans are demanding action.
As the largest independent West Ham supporters’ group, Hammers United intends to work with fans’ groups, podcasters, writers, bloggers, journalists, viewers, readers, and of course West Ham fans, to deliver a grass roots campaign aimed at bringing the Brady and Sullivan era to an end.
We are calling on Brady and Sullivan to resign from their executive positions, to have no more involvement in the running of West Ham United, and for the remaining board of directors to appoint competent and professional replacements who will work in the best interests of West Ham United and the fans.
Until this happens, we will be running the NO MORE BS! campaign
Hammers United will be meeting with the Metropolitan Police to organise an initial demonstration, which will be followed by a series of demonstrations and marches, until Brady and Sullivan resign.
In addition to these, we will be working with our West Ham friends on a series of other initiatives designed to make Brady and Sullivan’s positions untenable for both them and the current board of directors.
Details of our first protest, and other activities, will be published across all of our channels on Friday 29 August.
