Sullivan out!

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

[Pshyco scored all 4]

We ain't getting any top talent. Or any Amazon deal. Until Dave gets his number. And that ain't happening any time soon. Unfortunately we're in for the duration.! Wrong this deal is happening. I was cynical as well this deal is way down the pipe . I was told that this morning by someone with plenty of contacts close to the club .

They're both as useful as chocolate teapots at the moment.

I'd take a drugged up Mudryk over a sick note grandad.

I certainly would not especially considering Fullkrug was a quarter of the price.

[El Scorchio]

Word of caution on Macauley, it was him that scouted and wanted Mudryk along with Potter to Chelsea back in the 2023 January window for a £89M transfer disaster. They've had some success in the Transfer market in the past but that was a extremely expensive horrific one.

To be fair even if Macauley does fucking brilliant work for us, Sullivan will likely just want him to be the next scapegoat the moment something goes wrong next time or he buys a single player that isn't world class for us. I think he just likes to hide behind people in those positions a la TS and Rob Newman so he can push them out as fall guys and the reason for our failures

[El Scorchio]

Yeah, the old “back hander” off the books. Good way to get some personal wealth from the club’s money.  

Insidious little man Sullivan who will go to his grave ( aka pit of fire ) trying to get a deal on funeral costs


 

Wasn't it Patson Daka who pulled out of a move to us and signed for Leicester, when he was told to use a different agent.

Don;t know about that although I'm sure it's likely, but they did pressure Ben Johnson to switch his agent to one of them, didn't they?

[Swiss.]

Sullivan has been draining this club. All the promises of reaching the next level on moving to the London Stadium. Didn';t he and Gold said we would be aiming for CL football in 5 years from moving? The man has no ambition for the club except for 17th place and above and will invest the minimum possible to acheive just that. 

Why would he want to sell this cash cow?

[Sir Alf]

“Nice little earner” even

[Sir Alf]

As we all know and largely agree Sullivan is not able or willing to learn as he places his ego, need for control and doing “nice little warner” deals with his agents before anything else. A huge conflict of interest and all about the short term. The player profile and who the coach wants is second to who brokers the deal.

[kite2]

I know loads of people are writing this season off, and it's unlikely we will get relegated, so how about we spend the rest of the season making it uncomfortable for Sullivan, shine some light on him.

Would love a banner or two displayed in the ground and a chorus of Sullivan out.
 

[Lee Trundle]

They'll be a few breakdowns if Steidten does leave.

I reckon if we're replacing him with Macaulay then it will be a massive upgrade.

If we're replacing Steidten with Macauley it just goes to prove that Steidten was never 'Technical Director' and was de-facto "Head of Recruitment".

It also goes to show Sullivan has learned nothing since Pellegrini/Husillos, and is aligning recruitment to the manager and not the club, so we're no more sustainable than we've ever been.

Also, means if Potter leaves, Macauley leaves and we're then back to square 1.

Standard West Ham fucked up planning without any strategic planning whatsoever.  The sooner Sullivan is an episode with a start AND end point in our Club's history the better, because despite his departure being no guarantee of better...at least there'd be a chance.

I don't think anyone knows his real role at the club, stubbo.

He was never a Technical Director before he came here, and I'd very surprised if a team like Liverpool will be desperate for him if he does go.

Lots of stories today that Steidten going now Macaulay has been brought in for Potter. Sullivan has been itching to ditch him since he arrived and painting him as the person who singlehandedly screwed up the last transfer window. No more impressive deal making and back to Salthouse, Silkman and Mackay as brokers / agents/ intermediaries for all transfers. Which severerely narrows the pool of players we can pursue imo

”The Sullivan Effect”

[RBshorty]

Got to call BS on the pair of them. One because it's Sullivan. And the other because all they do is go around and have temper tantrums every time something doesn't go their way.

Apologies Stubbo, i just included a reference to that C & B update. I absolutely believe Nick is right on this. It explains everything that surrounds a West Ham transfer window.  

Its not the player quality or even the deal itself but who the agents are and hence allowing Sullivan more control on agent fees etc. 

Sullivan strikes again

The only agent fees Sullivan cares about are the ones that get funnelled back in his direction.

thanks for also noticing him pushing dwarf narratives, independent my backside

[stubbo]

It's pretty incredible Sullivan makes the same mistakes over and over and over again without learning his lesson.

How the fuck he's a billionaire, I'll never know.

Almost like they're no mistakes, but by design?!

When it comes to transfers, he's clearly on the take and scuppers deals he can't 'turn to his advantage' (hence the insistance on Silkman or Salthouse being an intermediary in every deal we get involved in).

Nick at C&B ran the story we have engaged an agency to do negotiations for us this window...then they bring a proposed deal to the club once all lined up.  Gonzo then today has run with the same story via his 'Senior Source'...clearly he's the latest Sullivan mouthpiece (which Nick is not).

Sounds like this agency brought a Duran deal to Sullivan (60m) and he then shit on it.  They're doing the same with Angel Gomes, and also with the "mystery big name striker" he's going on about.

Most think he's a bullshitter, but I suspect he does have links to some of the guys who aren't in the club but in the agents world....was ahead of everything on the Duran deal and he's claiming the same links on this.

Sullivan then tries to stick in his 'beneficiaries' to the presented deals, as well as the conflict of interest of asking his mates (football agents) what they think if the deal he has lined up (can imagine how that goes when it's not one of the players they have links with).

Bloke is a nasty, insidious little cսnt, and one delve into his history shows he's far far worse than just benig one of the worst owners in the league.

The Club's fans really should make a very concerted effort to make his life as uncomfortable as possible.

[Mad Ferret]

I’d love to be a lucky billionaire like Mr Sullivan.

He's a very successful individual.

He's fluked it looking at the way he's ran us.  He must have made some lucky choices at the right time.

Even a stopped clock gets the time right twice a day.
