West Ham Online

Wouldn't be surprised when the seedy little perverted dwarf leaves, there will be a scandal about him going on. Women will come out and accuse him of misconduct, sexual harassment etc.

On another thread there is a post referring to how two erstwhile favourites performed against the likes of Port Vale and Notts County a generation or more ago.

It helps put into perspective the merits, or otherwise, of the Sullivan era. 

Minority groups?

Sullivan is the problem as he picks the managers with no football intelligence 
Obvious when you see smaller clubs like Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton & Fulham etc with progressive younger managers who are superior to our dinosaurs like Loppy, Moyes. Allardyce & Avram Grant

We are now in a 60k + stadium

Affordable pricing

A lot of work behind the scenes for minority groups.

Then you son, are a major part of the problem in my honest opinion.

Agreed GB - despise all 3 of them.

Problem is, the cartel has now fixed it to stop wealthy owners coming in to buy success and challenge them (just like they did).

So there’s little incentive for people to buy clubs these days.

The hatred for him and Brady should be made far clearer to have even the slightest effect on them, maybe force Kretinsky into moving. Won’t happen with our diluted support now, just apathy.
Gold, Sullivan and Brady have never done anything for the betterment of our club only themselves albeit Gold had a little sentiment, but all still outright self serving liars with no concern for anything the support want until it turns toxic.
Personally would wish stage 4 arse rot on the remaining 2 cunts.

As the late great Peter Cook would've said..

A liar, a humbug, a hypocrite, a vagabond, a loathsome spotted reptile and a self-confessed chicken strangler. You may choose, if you wish, to believe the transparent tissue of odious lies which streamed on and on from his disgusting, greedy, slavering lips.

 

Sullivan has consistently demonstrated he carries weight on the board beyond his minority share - why? I’m not going to speculate but I would suggest trying to freeze him out is a high-risk strategy liable to lead to a stalemate just when we need decisive action. He needs to believe he’s a great visionary ready to act decisively and be given the credit for doing so. After all, if all he wants is an ego massage, Sullivan can have it if he agrees to spend and get rid for someone like Potter or the German Slav.

sullivan acts with a certainty that the gold family shares will always vote en bloc with him, which seems odd to me. have it on good authority that outside of business they weren't exactly mates so i can't imagine his daughter or her ST holding husband have any reason to swear fealty unless there's something legal written into them

if i were kretinsky i'd be making a concerted effort to WOO them in order to kneecap the dwarf after his fuckup in pushing an unsuitable manager no-one wanted.

Speaking of ownership, the other thing I picked up last summer was that, allegedly, Abramovic briefly looked at West Ham before he bought Chelsea.

Again, no idea how serious it was - others have said Chelsea was always his target. But, if true, there was a sliding doors moment. That would have been a rollercoaster.

Yeah, Sullivan owns 38.8% of shares in the club. Making him the biggest shareholder, rather than the outright owner.

Kretinsky and his business partner, Pavel Horsky, own 27% between them.

The Gold family own 25.1% via what is now a trust.

That weird Yank, Tripp Smith, owns around 8%.

Other investors own 1.1%.

Basically, our ownership structure is more complex than most. Making a takeover a little more difficult, but not impossible. If you nabbed Kretinsky's and the Gold family shares, you'd probably have effective control of the club.

Some legal insiders told me a while back that the Saudi's sniffed around West Ham before buying Newcastle. Prestige and landmarks are always a big thing with them, and they liked the idea of owning a London-based side playing in the "Olympic" stadium. But it never got off the ground - not sure how far it got, tbh.

Sullivan only owns about 39% iirc. So he isn't the owner, just the biggest shareholder.

Sullivan can be outvoted but it needs most of the board to go against him now that he cannot rely on the Gold family since David Gold's death.

As an example, I heard from a friend of a friend with supposed boardroom connections, that Sullivan had to agree to take a backward step for the appointment of Steidten. It was supposedly done on the basis that Sullivan had done a great job but, the club needed to be less reliant on him now that he was 75.

 

...and aim not saying he wants to be the good guy. But he wants to be SEEN to be the good guy. It's part of his clear insecurity complex. 

That's the thing to play on to get rid of him.

Sullivan despises bad publicity.

Everything he does is centred around his optics (or money). I suspect if the fans and his media chums started to ask the difficult questions, he'd find a reason to want out. 

Alledged investigations like the one Wils posted below, if it comes to fruition, could well do the trick too.

If the club was up for sale at a reasonable price, there would be no shortage of interested parties.

Folk such as Sullivan tend to have developed a REALLY thick skin over years of wrangling deals in very hostile environments. Chants and even coins thrown will barely register. People I have known similar to this only really take notice when the income stream from their business dries up.

They are well aware that supporters of football clubs, however vocal and fierce their anger will keep sending them their money until hell freezes over.

Agreed

Also, he’s the owner, even if you managed to make it such an uncomfortable place to be on match days, that’s not his day job and he’ll simply stop going to matches. He’ll still own the club.

You could kill him, or have him killed, but then you get the spastic son take over so it really needs to be a sale and you can’t force someone to do that, he needs an amazing offer.

if you can’t offer that, stop wasting your time.

Driving him to sell up is the best thing that can happen for our club. 

As for making him fuck off...answers on a post card.
