I would like to announce formally that I was bothered when Kehrer left in January.

Re: Late David Gold, Sullivan and Brady

This article on WHfootball is hilarious. Why would any serious investor want to buy just enough of the club to be in a three way tug of war with the Czech and the Dildo Dwarf? Preposterous PR "testing the market" bull**** am I right?

Re: Late David Gold, Sullivan and Brady

Wishful thinking on my part, perhaps, but what if January's transfer activity was more about cleaning house/cooking the books before a sale, rather than for PSR reasons? My dubious ITK friend on Twitter would agree and say that we'll have new owners and new manager in the Summer so yes it would mak...

Re: Late David Gold, Sullivan and Brady

Alright everyone my "source" has clarified his statement about the International Bank of Qatar. He says it's actually QNB not IBQ, and he also said that JP Morgan were/might still be interested in Gold's shares specifically. He says we have a current Kretinsky appointed board member from J...

Re: Late David Gold, Sullivan and Brady

Would that be the same International Bank of Qatar that went defunct in 2019 when it merged with Barwa Bank? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Bank_of_Qatar They indeed said the IBQ so they are probably a wally...

Re: Late David Gold, Sullivan and Brady

The Portuguese would likely be Fonseca and the Austrian probably the guy now at Palace. The Qatar bit if will please some but ultimately take us even further away from being West Ham. I made that assumption as well and got clarification that the Austrian we might hire is NOT the same as the one Pal...

Re: Late David Gold, Sullivan and Brady

Someone on Twitter who is in his 50s or 60s and claims to be ITK tells me that we have two managers already agreed, one Portuguese and one Austrian. More importantly, he says that our new owners, the International Bank of Qatar, will be taking over in the summer. If this is true it would explain Sul...

Re: Takeover talk

PAI have been a huge mystery and the whole thing needs a lot more digging as to the strategy and connections. I have view they were a front for Chinese investors. I still believe we will eventually end up with an investor from the USA who, as per previous posts was interested a year ago. Dear old f...

Re: Takeover talk

For those who mentioned a Robert Kraft consortium a couple pages back, this is my first time ever hearing of interest from him! As a New England Patriots supporter for the last twenty years, I can say with confidence that were he to buy us, we'd be run in a very similar manner to how Liverpool and F...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2021

Assuming we get Lingard and Milenkovic over the line, we still need at minimum a CDM and a LB.

Who do people think we can realistically get at those two positions?

Possibly Firpo
I really really wanted Firpo, not necessarily because I've seen him play much but because he has the same birthday as Coufal which is also my birthday.

I'll take my coat.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2021

If we sign Milenkovic AND Zouma I can only come to the following conclusions: 1) Moyes does not rate Dawson and/or Diop. 2) Ogbonna's fitness is not trusted. 3) Masuaku's fitness is not trusted and Moyes will return Cresswell to LB/LWB permanently rather than LCB. 4) We are going to play 5 at the ba...

Make the point.
Um... could we not wait til the 80th minute when we're up 2-0? Might not cost us points?

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2021

Imagine signing two central defenders and ignoring other crucial positions lacking depth...no way right?

Also for clarity I was referring to Tristan Abrahams from Carlisle United 7 pages ago.

He might be only 22 but his goal record is shocking. Can't believe Roma are signing a Carlisle United player. They must be really strapped for cash.
