Re: Gold and Sullivan ???
I know that some go with the perception that he’s a doddering old fella who gets a bit confused but has the right intentions I think he’s quite manipulative and disingenuous with his language and direction personally Wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him Latest nonsense statement is clearl...

Re: David Moyes: should he stay or should he go? [POLL]
I dislike Moyes but walking away from the club over the way the owners behave is certainly worthy of respect.

Re: Gold and Sullivan ???
Sunday Times Rich List published today. David Sullivan is at 126 with £1.1bn and David Gold (and family) are the 281st richest on £460m. People don't get this rich by pissing their money away on football clubs, they do however have every intention of continuing to increase their personal wealth. I ...

Re: Gold and Sullivan ???
is there anyone left defending these *****? What can you say? The only thing I can imagine in their defence is that there are plenty of other possible owners that would have done roughly the same thing. They'd have had their own style which might not have worn so thin as G&S's increasingly tedi...

Re: Gold and Sullivan ???
That banner that says Man City owners good - west ham owners evil...is quite pathetic. IS that really what it boils down to? That if your owners are billionares they are good. Obviously we have bad owners but just say it like that just makes us look muggy in my opinion. My reading would be owners m...

Re: Gold and Sullivan ???
Straightforward question, but a pretty complicated one... Are Gold and Sullivan more likely to sell sooner if we get relegated this season? West Ham is an asset that makes them money. They have no motivation to sell other than fan disquiet, in fact if they did they would incur considerable losses t...

Re: Gold and Sullivan ???
But what is incredible is how they refuse to back any manager. The keep letting them run down their contract. On this occasion i'm quite glad that they have given moyes such a short contract but it's not a way to run a club. It's precisely how they've always run their clubs, and probably their othe...

Thoroughly agree with everything except this :lol:"If you think [former CEO Scott] Duxbury is bad with spin, just wait until Sullivan starts! He will definitely surpass Duxbury, and within two or three years time you will definitely be doing this."

Re: Gold and Sullivan ???
'Moving to the next level' was the stated rational for switching grounds. No-one thought it would be easy, but not to even attempt to push the club on is disappointing behaviour from the owners (but unfortunately not unexpected). At the time the most popularly chosen option in the fan survey which ...

Re: Gold and Sullivan ???
I'll offer a little balance by mentioning Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, whose team won the Premier League last season. Hmmm, I feel like that's a bit more than a counterbalance, more like the most unlikely and unbalancing comparison I've seen in my football life! I take the point though, but we've fare...

Re: Gold and Sullivan ???
Yeah if only we'd been bought out by Venky's instead... Excellent point, there are plenty of owners who would have ground what was left of the club into the dirt. They have at least taken their investment seriously. I don't think either of G&S have the resources to make the club compete to the ...

Re: West Ham Utd vs Chelsea: match thread
With all the illuminating newspaper coverage you'd have thought it might have been made clear somewhere which party is actually responsible for managing the situation and having the proper procedures in place. I must have read about half a million words on the subject so far I'm still in the dark.
