What is the point of Kretinsky?

Major shareholder in the Post Office which is in the shit As West Ham part owner he seemingly has no interest in taking control or driving the club on with substantial investment. Seems to be just a cuckoo in the nest riding the value of his investment up on the backs of fans. The club is going nowhere until an active committed owner with a serious ON FIELD plan emerges. That means Kretinsky needs to join Sullivan in heading for the exit

He wants to be the majority shareholder. As he's pissed off with Sullivans running of the club . Dwarf even admitted as much through the club stooges site . Saying there's far more chance of him increasing his shares . Than him selling his Whufc shares .

The point of my original post was that he appears to have no interest in taking control.
Just investing on the basis that a rising tide lifts all boats & that no matter how badly Sullivan is running the club his holding will increase in value 
More so if the dismal midget dies and someone competent wants to buy 100%
He has similar investments in Sainsbury’s & Foot Locker but for now he has Royal Mail on his plate 
Obviously with that he thinks he can grow the parcel business as sending letters is a near dead business

Yeah, I don't think he wants it either, unless he's somehow waiting for an opportunity to somehow get more for less. Maybe go over Sullivan's head (not difficult) and buy out the Golds although god knows what's going on with that share now and in the future. Even the ownership is a fucking mess.

The price has gone up since then, so he’s either not as sharp as you think or he just doesn’t want to own the club.

If he wanted to buy the club he would have already. He paid for an option on both gold & Sullivan’s shares.

He declined to exercise this option.

Not a bad plan. Get paid half a billion for sponsorship by Royal Mail or some random Czech company and change the mascot to Pavel the postbox.

Actually I just had a quick look at his wiki and there's quite a comical quota from him regarding investment strategybearing in mind he's a major investor and shareholder in West Ham United:

In a speech in 2015, Křetínský said: "We want to make money in industries that are dying because we think they'll die much more slowly than the general consensus says."

Fabulous. (Removes tongue from cheek)

He's bought a new toy now so I suppose he's a handy bloke to know if you want to post a letter or send a parcel.

He can't do anything unless he gets majority shares, but until then, it's Nick Nack holding the purse strings for the foreseeable.

RB shorty . He wants out 100 per cent . He ain't the saviour but he's struck a deal similar to what the PAI group did . They won't speak to Brady and Sullivan full stop . .

He wants to sell his shares . But I was told he struck a deal for the stadium months ago . If so that's the reason he's so low key now . The stadium owners point blank refuse to speak to Sullivan and Brady .
