What is the point of Kretinsky?

[Fauxstralian]

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

"goose - Load of bollocks, he's done fuck all, you just like arguing."

[North Bank]

"goose the club was just as healthy before Kretinsky rocked up, from what I gather the Directors loans were paid off from his initial investment with £60 million ISH going on investment, I've player purchases. This summer we have spent the Declan Rice money whilst being told we can't invest more due to FFP, similar to this window where all we can do is get a few loans in without selling first. Many fell for the vision of a very rich man backed with wealth of £15 billion and an option to buy the Club outright as a new dawn, but this being West Ham it was a false one and we're back to scrubbing around looking for a loan striker to fill the void."

[goose]

"He has/had an option to buy a controlling stake in the club but hasn't taken up that option as of yet. Since his arrival the club has invested heavily in the side, the structure off the field appears to have improved and the club is in a healthy financial position. What were you expecting? There was never any promise of investment to the levels of man city or chelsea."

[North Bank]

"Spot on Manuel, we have and always will be just an investment opportunity for him, fair enough but let's not expect too much if not anything from him, which makes him the perfect partner for Sullivan"

the four eyed potato salad prick. ag ag ag the RICH four eyed potato salad prick.

"El - Yea maybe, but when it's football you hope that said investor has a bit of passion about the club and doesn't just see it as a money making exercise. Remember back to when he come in there was some excitement, correct? He's been a massive disappointment the four eyed potato salad prick."

[Manuel]

"No point whatsoever the same as the yank, two fucking waste of spaces, may as well let Sullivan have their shares, at least he is hands on."

[On The Ball]

"Sometimes grown-ups use their money to buy little portions of a company that they hope will at some point in the future be worth for more than they paid for it, then they sell their portion."

‘Seems to be just a cuckoo in the nest riding the value of his investment up on the backs of fans.’ So basically a businessman investing in a business to make money from it. Who would have thought it? Seems people are fixated on him being a white knight saviour instead. That’s our bad rather than his.

"Unless it's changed since I worked on a post office counter in 1988, the Post Office and Royal Mail are 2 separate entities."

[goose]

Yeh apart from the chunk of money he put into the club that then got spent on players - whats the point of him?

[Mike Oxsaw]

Maybe he's seeking a new horizon?

[riosleftsock]

"His company, VESA Equity is the largest single investor in RM."

[Kaiser Zoso]

That’s a minority share though?

[riosleftsock]

His company owns over 25% of Royal Mail
