If you think back, he was only really interested in buying West Ham when there was the possibility of a Casino being attached somewhere along the line.
That never happened and so all things West Ham now boil his piss.

Nah he definitely holds a grudge against the hardcore fanbase since many of us made our feelings known about him (them) since the worst Stadium migration in world sport happened. He (like the witch) knows he's despised by true Hammers everywhere and the relationship is toxic as fuck. All they can cling on to now is the happily oblivious transient Tourist fan who lap up everything the Club does under their watch.

Not all of them. But when they have done the odd thing for the benefit of the club, I'll point it out. Like the £30 million rights issue and Kretinsky's £125 million he pumped in. And although they were well rewarded with interest payments, the loans they provided to the club, on relegation, back in the day, meant we didn't go into administration. And the owners (not Brady) have never drawn dividends or salaries.
For the money we pay Brady, I refuse to believe we coudn't get a more adept, brighter, sharper CEO (or what ever her job title is).Fuck me, are you Jack Sullivan?
by the looks, this board must rank in the worst in Premiership history (short history it is mind), we used to make decent signings back in the day, remember Parks being the most expensive keeper ever? still how we have fallen, at least the old board from times past had decent connections to the club as supporters... am I disillusioned?, since these cunts took over yes, how Birmingham fans celebrated when they left & laughed like hyenas when they took over West Ham, the bullshit & lies ever since and most lap it up with expectation (realising too late it was just more bullshit)
still as long as the club is leveraged to the hilt & run like a micky-mouse outfit to the benefit of the midgets mates & co, some will be moon bound... pray tell me, how many would sell a fully paid-up house to move into a rental-property?
this coming season fills me with dread, we have been lucky not to have been relegated in the last couple of seasons, hopefully we can avoid it again(sic).

The point is, you criticise them, for things which are untrue, which makes you look the right knob, you are.

Yes, we do owe a fortune to other clubs for transfers. Standard practice. What would you prefer, that, or paying all the money due on a transfer up front? Which in itseslf, would incur more borrowing costs.
Plenty to criticise the board for, without getting things wrong.

so do you support the Board? or would you rather have some other owners with a vested interest in the club who have a plan for the future?
in truth, I'd rather have the Cearns at least we had entertaining footie and the occasional Cup-run when we actually won something of note (I don't include the recent tin-pot cup win).

You haven't any sense whatsoever and how you going to feel if we do OK this season?
I'm going to cheer the team on rather than creating toxicity around the place
Sullivan ain't going anywhere unfortunately

I’ve a feeling this will be his last season involved (fingers crossed). Nothing more than a hunch really, but I have said before, the apathy is slowly turning back to anger, and we could see another ‘Burnley’ or something even more embarrassing for Sullivan.

Enough is enough.Agree, I'm baffled over the inactive fanbase. Everyone is upset, but not enough apparently.
fans have been bored shitless since the Ruskie-Midget & co. took over, there was a spark of anger a few years ago with the promise of a protest march (whuisa) but, rumor has it that the march was called off because of a brown envelope... is it no surprise that no-one can be arsed to organise a protest?
perhaps someone could survey the new supporters that frequent the Hotpoint... they ripped the soul from the club when we left The Boleyn, it ain't coming back whilst this mob are in charge..
