West Ham Online

While watching the Netflix documentary on Michelle Mone recently, I was struck by the similarities between her career and that of Karen Brady. Both having created reputations as successful young businesswoman based entirely on PR perception rather than anything they had actually achieved. Equally, their ultimate elevations to the peerage (Baroness Mone of Mayfair and Baroness Brady of Knightsbridge) were the result of stroking Piggy Cameron’s ego who, in turn, saw them as ideal token females to populate the benches in the Lords.

Can’t wait for the uprising but also can’t believe it’s taking so long. It hurt to walk away but there’s principles.

It is genuinely flabbergasting how she’s got this reputation as some sort of business guru, considering how dreadfully run our club is. 

Whatever happened to their original claim "We are only Custodians of this great Club etc" when they first rocked up effectively suggesting that they would fuck off and pass it on to someone more suitable if they cannot progress us. Well they've long since proven they're not up to the job, so why are they still here after being in charge for 15 long years now? We know why, because they enjoy living off the gravy train the Club has now become. Like fuck they want to give all that up just for the sake of the long suffering fans.  

Here's another pearler Sullivan guffed back in 2010
"We have a seven-year plan to get them into the Champions League" cսnt must be near a black hole, as that 7 years sure is dragging...

One amusing thing I take from that is that Brown might have to dig in his pocket to help 'balance' the books.

I am so glad that I haven't put any money into the club since we moved. Fuck em

Just been watching Geo post on Hammers Chat. Those thieving lying board of ours. Potter will get 75%  pf sales. Makes no sense. If as the borad are sayimng we pleading poverty then they would need a sum amount they need to take from the sales of players. Say 25m. They say we made a 100m loss last year. That;'s incompetence taking into consideration the Sky money + gate receipts. etc. 

GSB are miking us dry.

I think we should all go hog wild and consistently start inventing player transfer rumours and supposed targets and see how long before they take to surface on the Claret & Hugh website.

I am pretty sure most of us already suspect the large part of his content comes from scrolling through WHO and probably KUMB too. 

 

The Board are still able to make loans to the club as long as they are shown at fair market value in the accounts. It is their decision whether they choose to do so or not

The cash flow challenge has always been a problem, usually solved by short term loans which have now been taken off the table.

Just another example of the horrible way the club is run. Every decision just seems to be a short term panic decision.

What we need is the incompetent Sullivan to sell to professionals who can manage a club properly taking the talentless buffoon Brady with him
The club is a shambles behind such powerhouses like Brighton, Bournemouth, Fulham & Palace

That 75% reinvested post is recycled from a story on the ‘ever reliable’ Hammers News a few weeks ago. The rationale, I think, was based on only a portion of any fee received from player sales representing profit, at least from a PSR perspective. For example, if Kudus is sold for £85 m and his book value (initial fee less 2 years of amortisation) is £20 m, then only the difference of £65m can be shown as profit in the accounts. They somehow averaged this out at 75%.Either intentionally or through ignorance a lot of the reporting on finances confuses the PSR position with the club’s cash flow problems. This no doubt suits the owners as PSR is an externally imposed constraint (largely beyond their control in the short term) while cash flow can be quickly eased by injecting additional funds into the club.Never let it be forgotten that whatever financial mess the club may find itself in, it is the direct cumulative consequence of woeful, short-term decisions taken by the Board in the past – and most likely into the future.

As we finish 17th or above with the mininum of investment the owners will be happy. Move to the OS/LS and we'll be challenging for the CL in 5 years or so. What a load of bollocks and lies this lot have told us. We should do everything we can to getb them to sell up and go.

Walkouts during the game, marches as before, banners in the stadium, ‘Sullivan out’ chanted on repeat for as long as possible. 

The fact that the front wheels seem way more organized in their protests against Levy is a bit of a show up really. And at least he game them possibly the best stadium in Europe. What did that little cսnt give us? One of the worst, not fit for purpose, an embarrassment that fans of visiting clubs mock and ridicule.

we should be beyond fucking angry. 

What would it take to start demonstrating against the wermin cccp dwarf?
Why are the west ham fans som quiet and polite?
I don't get it

is anyone at all surprised…???
