Time for massive protests against David Sullivan!

[Barty888]

We can't simply accept his presence! We need to get him the fuck away from our club!

[Ceasar]

David Sullivan you are an embarrasment sell up and fuck off!

[Massive Attack]

Rich 'genuine' West Ham fans who might be interested in a Takeover these days - Any viable about does anyone know?

Michael Tabor used to be an exciting proposition back in the day but never materialised. 

[Fauxstralian]

Just turned on Sunday Supplement on Sky & they were talking to the F1 commentators including West Ham fan David Croft
Asked him a jokey question as to whether Lewis Hamilton would win a race next or West Ham win a trophy
Opted for Hamilton & absolutely slated the board
Good man
Get this into the media & wake them up
 

[Massive Attack]

A point that needs to be stressed and aimed at Sullivan and Brady is that when they first took over they said to the Media/Fans "We are just Custodians of this great Club" and in effect the Club belongs to the Fans blah blah or words to that effect which they need reminding again preferably in the Media. We all know it's bollocks and it's more to do with their egos not wanting to let go but that is an attack line to apply pressure using their own words against them. No one really remembers or makes that point these days about them and would be intrigued at what they'd now say to that in the Media..

Lets hope the Fan Advisory Board that meets with Brady have some intelligent, articulate representatives who have done their homework. They will need to fully understand and have the data on other club’s scouting networks, recruitment infrastructure, how the organisation structure  at clubs like Bournemouth, Brighton and Forest etc work. The processes that underpin them and the reporting relationship to their owners. Because, as Simon Jordan points out, its easier to be critical but the club will start asking “well what exactly do ypu mean by inproving scouting and recruitment”? 

People with experience in business improvement and turnarounds need to be present to point out that there is no recognisable strategy, long term plan for the footballing side of the business. That is the biggest problem. Are we trying to build a side that plays an entertaining brand of football with younger players, are we, and how are we, planning to develop our own younger players and get them in the team ( recruit worldwide or locally, network of scouts? data analysis etc?). I can foresee Brady explaining all the initiatives we have launched but will she be asked how they fit into a wider strategy, how they will be inplemented, who will implement them, what previous experience those implementing so called initiatives have.  A read of the countless books on why businesses fail ( eg Jim Collins has written a ton )  will expose the lack of planning, lack of an operational plan, organisation structure, skills and experience but people representing fans need to have the knowledge an know how successful clubs do it in the football world.  The stadium is a subject on its own too and requires proper understanding of whats possible, costs involved. Training facilities another symptom of our lack of fotballing ambition and strategy. 

If not Brady will placate the protest groups with promises of change and the challenges the club have and generally wait until “the unrest passes”, anything to avoid loosening their grip on power and resigning.  In short ( not my thing admittedly ) , we need to put forward well researched, coherent and constructive arguments and explanations of how a professional team of executives ( positions required like DOF etc) will replace the short term thinking the club has always been guilty of.  Interesting few weeks ahead

Their own ten point plan should be enough ammunition, one point at a time, proven failure. All we have to do is make enough people see it and they will have to step down, or at minimum draw more attention from IFR and who knows what powers they are willing to use? Especially against some of the most unlikeable cunts who have walked the East End

[GBHammer63]

Bickering is fucking tedious, just ignore each other and post relevant points, as one of you said, it’s anonymous here so you’re achieving nothing, but you might have something interesting to say?

[Massive Attack]

No. Potter is not going anywhere anytime soon. 

[Sir Alf]

Anyone believe that Sullivan has contacted Lampard to determine if he would be interested in the West Ham managers job if he kicks Potter into touch?  Now Sullivan is capable of doing this as he has no regard for the opinion of fans but I think its a a media fiction to get attention during the international break. One decent spell at Coventry does not mean he is now a good manager.  And besides Sullivan does not pay for managers in work.

"Technically my drum is in Uk"...l know and also know you shouldn't be getting the annual state pension rises due to the fact you live in the mud hut,but hey don't worry l ain't a grass 

No proof so you know fuck all. All mouth and trousers.

It's an anonymous website; I could well be your next door neighbour, that's about the limit of your knowledge.

Still, best not waste a good grudge if it gets you attention, even if it is only from me.

Seems I've touched a nerve there lol 
Truth always hurts

Like I said - all in your head. H&P would have been proud of you.

[XKhammer]

No actual links to any of my "quotes" then, although I do, indeed have a 2nd ("retirement") home in Thailand ready to move to should I so chose.

Technically, my drum in the UK is also a "retirement" home, being a significant downsizing on my previous pad.

Perhaps I'm not the one with dementia in this exchange of views; I'm certainly not the one with a grudge over something I proudly posted years ago.

When you're out and about in your neighbourhood, do people nudge each other when they see you, point and say "Look! There's that pervert who went to Cambodia to abuse an underage crippled girl!"?.

Easy ...you have on many said 9n mant occasions you don't go because you class it as supporting Sullivan 
You also have stayed many times you have retired and moved to Thailand...how is the mud hut in the poverty stricken village near the Cambodian border?
Clearly you have dementia which l suppose is quite common at your age

Care to prove that, you sad little attention-seeking gobshite? Or is it a fact, just like your exploits in Cambodia?

The original Fan Protest..  

[eusebiovic]

The Bond scheme protest got us relegated. Check the league table at the start of November when it all kicked off.

Some of you lot need to grow up. 

Check Sullivan/Brady/Brown out trying to re-write history and to make out it's the fans fault.  

The fans each time are on the right side of history and do so for the betterment of our Club. Not the other way around.

The bond scheme was a massive piss-take at the time.

It was little more than the equivalent of paying well over the odds for a commemorative brass plaque on a park bench. 

Is it any wonder that the shit completely hit the fan?

[Mike Oxsaw]

Ha ha "we" ...you don't even go or live on the country

I suppose we (yes! we, for the hard of thinking) could all turn up en mass at the gates 10 minutes before kick-off.

Bit of shouting & jostling (but no pushing forward) could convince the police/security that another Hillsborough is on the cards and they'd (have to) open all the gates and let people in without checking their tickets.

Would piss all over their ID (card) requirements, that's for sure.

It's not even true. The protests began in the Wimbledon home game, after which we won the next 2 games. We had only won 4 of the previous 24 games that season. After the pitch invasion at Everton we were already 2nd from bottom. It was likely we'd have been relegated whatever, but in any case, blaming the protesters instead of the people who tried to initiate the bond scheme itself is just fucking idiotic.

[Takashi Miike]

yes, if we'd all bought a bond we would have won the league. what a thick cսnt, and it was protestS

Hate Brentford and their fans. Next down from Arsenal on my list. Most of them are Arsenal fans that can't get tickets for the Emirates. Or they're urban middle-class dads want to expose their sons to and edgy environment and choose Brentford because it's most like Arsenal and they can get tickets. 

Gladly fuck that one off boycott or not.

Sort of agree as l watched them once and was surrounded by upper/middle class Henrys who supported Man U and hated Chelsea 

[Mike Oxsaw]

Takes someone with real special needs to propose recreating the Hillsborough disaster to protest against the club ownership.

Who's done that then?
