West Ham Online

Please have a word upstairs Bill to the Boss about granting us all that 1 wish we dearly still want down below.

They have destroyed almost everything that was once as good as him. Including our spirit. 

BS OUT 

I thought that there was a fit and proper person criteria for owning a football club? How did these fucking idiots get over that hurdle? Even if the fit and proper thing came about after GSB got in could it not be used retrospectively?

All just noise and speculation unless he is charged and found guilty

Never really knew too much about the guys past. But if this gets traction I think he’d need to sell the club to get away from it all. 
The PL are not going to be happy when the general public realise the head of one their clubs has this background. Especially if the Epstein case yields fruit. 

 

The allegations against Sullivan are just that. Allegations. It is likely that any new owners will also have traits that some may find morally uncomfortable. The issues for why he, and the rest of this incompetent board, should go should not be diluted by these allegations.
Consider:
1. This club, despite over 12 seasons in the premier league; a 60,000+ stadium that costs next to nothing; recent successful European campaigns; being in the premier league during a period of exponential growth in TV revenue currently has debts consistent with, or higher, than when they took over. Given the advantages they had that is incredibly bad financial management on the part of the board.
2. Without looking at the stadium through Boleyn coloured glasses it is, simply, rubbish. It is not just us that say this. It is not even the fact that it is regularly voted the worst ground and experience by visiting supporters. EUFA have deemed it not suitable for the EURO's with the subsequently completed, and better, Hill Dickinson and Tottenham's NFL stadium being preferred. Before anyone get's excited Older grounds such as Newcastle, Villa park and, tellingly, Manchester City make the cut. City being the conversion to a proper football stadium from previous athletics use. This board, specifically Gold, Sullivan and Brady, lied about the quality of the ground we were moving too and the opportunities that would afford. Not hindsight, conjecture or allegations. Facts.
3. The losses on the London Stadium. Clever drafting of the lease agreement led, we are told, by Brady which leaves the London Tax payer with a massive financial burden. No, it wasn't clever drafting but it was a fair indication of the mindset of the ownership from the outset. Manchester City, who took over a municipal stadium conversion had a collaborative agreement with the council geared to club success. Income above a certain level being shared with the Council. This incentivised both parties to share in any future success. With a subsequent change of ownership, that has worked out well for all. The London stadium agreement appears to focus on mitigating the impact on the club of relegation costs. Far from incentivising success the punitive running costs result in constant bickering between the two parties and Brady spending a fortune in club money on legal fees. Whilst the losses reflect more on the foolishness of the respective GLA leaders when you look at the stadium, how it is managed, the food beverage and overall experience at that dump The Club Board have absolutely not delivered on the World class promises. Further, they have shown no willingness or capability whatsoever to try and move forward in a positive manner. As with the drafting of the players contracts with punitive relegation clauses it shows that survival is, and always has been the aim, rather than success and progress. So yes, they have protected themselves financially but no one else benefits. You could also go on to the Olympic, athletics legacy which was the objective of the odious twat Coe however, as has been seen, as the GLA cannot afford to continue to pour more than the bare minimum into running that ground it is no longer seen as a useable athletics facility. It is simply a disused athletics facility that no one wants. The GLA, The West Ham Board and Coe are entirely to blame for that, particularly as it was clear at the time, that being not one thing or the other, the ground was doomed to be a failure. 
To my mind I won't be distracted by the allegations against Sullivan, the outcome of that will be what it will be. I won't stop wanting him out of our club and will continue to focus on the the facts of the deceit, poor stewardship and abject failure his tenure has inflicted on West Ham United.
BS Out.          

He’s apparently doing a more in depth report on Brady also, might find out something she’s good at.

If ever somebody decides to make a film loosely based on Sullivan's life and activities in the big smoke instead of it becoming the stuff of legend like The Long Good Friday with Bob Hoskins it will most certainly become the stuff of infamy and be called "The Wrong Bad Hard-On"

Nothing has changed with regards to the running of yhe club. Sullivan, aided by Brady, continue to be a “clear and present danger” with their actions and can easily undermine everything. 

Doesn't matter because apparently Sullivan in his latest act of desperation has apparently said he won't be using Salthouse any more.

An unnamed Premier League player in his 20s was threatened at gun-point on the streets in a terrifying late-night incident. A top agent has been arrested. 

The player was targeted while walking with a pal on a busy London street. 

An agent who represents stars including an England international, was detained last month on suspicion of brandishing the firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.

The suspect is also under investigation for allegedly blackmailing and making threats against the player's entourage, but he has not yet been charged with any offence.

Please let it be Salthouse.  Please let it be Salthouse.  Please let it be Salthouse.

'Baroness Brady clarified that she is responsible only for the commercial side of the Club, and not player trading and recruitment.'

Heres the FAB view on responses from the Club as posted by Whetstone:

The club has only been mismanaged if you’re looking at it from a supporter point of view, from Sullivans perspective it’s great, bought in reasonably low, sold land and rented, invest only the clubs or other investors money whilst earning a nice few quid on them investments, lend club money when clubs money runs out but charge more interest than the banks, mortgage to hilt training grounds, sell best players, publicly state that he won’t be putting in money eliciting the response from Kretinsky that he’s only putting in if Sullivan does (because he’s woke up to the fact Sullys spaffed it), keep Brady employed to do his exact bidding and fuck all you who’ve turned up year on year, have no interest in making your experience any better because it could cost when money is better used on him not you. 

The only good news seems to be Sullivan and his sidekick won’t be here long, but even that good news is tempered by the fact that they’re only going because there’s fuck all left, and there’s still some stupid cunts who keep giving him their hard earned thinking that they’re supporting the team when they’re really supporting Sullivan.

The club has been chronically mismanaged for the last two/three years. 

The structure in and around the first team manager/coach has been thrown into disarray with constant chopping and changing. That is compounded by a lack of patience when some poor results hit  - I don't recall us ever going through four managers in fifteen months before. 

This all stems from the top. 

I still believe this bunch of players could be doing better than they are - always accepting some of them are pointless show ponies and wasters, and many have significant limitations - but there is such a mess above them , a real absence of quality leadership - that they are underperforming against their capabilities.

It's this mess above them that will cause relegation because there is a lack of belief and a lack of direction, only crisis management.

Fucking love this

Sullivan actually wants success for West Ham but for himself and dreams of “his club” being “big shots” in Europe etc. Its not intent thats been his problem,  its his complete lack of knowledge on how to achieve it and what it takes financially, organisationally, strategically and operationally to deliver football success. His investment commitments and decision making fall well short every time and so short term in nature and end up, in reality, being aimed at keeping us in Premiership as everything unravels every few years.  That Conference win was just an unexpected “happy accident”. Sullivan takes short term thinking to a whole new level and the price we have paid for his interference in footballing matters has been nothing short of catastrophic.
