West ham meltdown

[Badger11]

Still deluded fans.

This guy happy at Sullivan gone and praises the various fans groups for their work. Err sorry mate Sullivan went because of the BBC and the Times story he has been ignoring fan protests for years.

Anyway this guy thinks it will be all okay but hang on mate, Sullivan is still the majority shareholder so he hasn't gone away and you are still up to your ears in debt.

He's not thinking it through. Until Sullivan sells up and the new board has a plan to deal with their debts you are still up schick creek without a paddle.

That’s about tha size of it, no football fan gives a monkeys about who owns a club and where the money comes from if their teams winning. Do Chelsea fans care that they won all their trophies with Russian mafia money? Of course they don’t

In our darker hours there were calls for him and his mate to bail us out of admin.
And still our 2010 rescue team are critised.

I wouldn’t swap SP for anyone, even before the trophies, those banners at Arsenal before Glasner took over made me want to vomit, but we’d better not get into the love or hate SP debate again I suppose(ok I will) can’t be many haters left now though surely.
Yes it would be nice to have an endless pot of bent money I suppose, but if we threw money at it and it didn’t work ala spurs, West Ham, Man U since Fergie left, Liverpool this season, it soon turns toxic. Although we’re not immune to a bit of toxivity ourselves, half a dozen games without a win and parish is the devil incarnate 🤣

West ham fans are so dumb glad they got relegated be great if they dont come straight back up either.

They really believe Sullivan is gone I bet you he is not he will be controlling in the background in some sort of way and lets say he doesn't it reminds me the same as Spurs fans moaning about Levy all the time and look what happened when he went.

The 'Lightning rod' departed but it still remained stormy.

Simon Jordan spoke of his ambition for Palace to overtake West Ham and become London's 4th biggest club.

Are we now witnessing this in real time?

 

[Teddy Eagle]

The plot thickens.

David Sullivan banned from contact with West Ham women's and youth teams since 2023

The decision followed a safeguarding investigation opened by the the Football Association.

It's true we are riding a wave right now while West Ham are struggling to tread water.
But if we level off and West Ham come straight back up the tide could turn again.
I feel like we have more supporters but I'm not sure if Palace can say they're bigger than West Ham.

Interesting. I'm going to determine this based solely on the facts.

Normally if someone offered me a palace over a piece of ham it's quite an easy decision.

But... the palace is made of crystal. Doesn't seem to be the easiest palace to defend from an enemy. And may just break if I drop something on it.

And... the ham is from the west (maybe Wales, which seems like a nice place for pigs).

I may have to think upon this as to what side is bigger.

The underlying accusations are no laughing matter. But the description is gold in more ways than one.

He keeps using the word allegedly. It has been pointed out many times that just because you use that word it does not protect you from being sued (allegedly) 😀

Well the club can't say they didn't know

I regret that all the while our home is the beloved Selhurst Park we will struggle to be perceived as a 'big' club.

Now, were we to build a sparkling new, glass fronted stadium with a capacity of 50k spectators in place of that ancient wreck in Crystal Palace Park, that would be a different matter.

Well they are all desperate to get out their modern stadium and would love to still be in the crumbling old one as we know.

You are probably right. But lets give it another couple of years. They might find it harder to get out the Championship then they think. Look at Leicester.

West Ham fans moan about the number of tourists in the home end, I don't think that's going to be a problem next season. 😀

I was remembering this the other day.

Someone at the time posted on hol that they had left a note on david gold's car windscreen asking him to save us!!

i don't want to be the grammar police but a few commas would be appreciated.

That is unless you are about ten years ago, and then it's acceptable.

I noticed them having very large attendances. Surprisingly.
How many would we get, maximum, normally, with a bigger stadium? Hard to know. I'd guess 45k-50k for a big match. I'd say we'd average about 38-40k. Just guesses.
Obviously they were s***, but still getting 50-60k.
