I fully expect offers to come flooding in, just before the renewal date for season tickets.
Load of old cunt.
I think that even the most 'easily pleased' sees straight through their utter bollocks now mate tbh.
They're as twitchy as a meerkat doing cold-turkey over the season ticket renewals at the moment.
But...... as Gonzo said on C.o.T..... expect them to STILL make all the wrong decisions.
It's not even a debate anymore mate. Everyone is fully aware how useless the owners are . . . . . even the mainstream media seem to get it now.
I didn’t really know which thread to post this on tbh , it’s appropriate for all of em pretty much ....
I haven’t that much time for the RWHFG tbh after the March fiasco but I read this on there this morning so I’ve cut & pasted it for your delectation , I hope the fella won’t mind . It upset ME and I’ve only been to that shit tip once all season
“As I walked out of the Ground yesterday, and looked at the Tourist fans taking photos with smiles on there faces I got a lump in my throat. I genuinely felt a sense of loss as I stood at the stop and go boards I looked around at some of our more senior fans, ones that have had there season ticket long before I got mine in 1996 my son was 5 then and waist high he's 27 now and taller than me. I've had something to say to him for a while but I just couldn't find the right time. I turned to him and said Mate I can't do this anymore. I can't pretend to like what I don't enjoy any more. The match day experience is gone. I love West Ham with all my heart but I just don't enjoy it like I used to. With a shiver down my spine I said I'm sorry but I'm not going to re new our tickets next season. I refuse to put anymore money in to them 3 pockets only to waste and run our club like they are. He replied to my relieve ' Yeah Dad I make you right all they are doing is mugging us off' I said as long as your cool then that's it. He said 'it's End of an Era Dad and thank you for taking me all these years, with a tear in my eye I said the pleasure was all mine. I said we have had some great days out home and away, he said yeah remember Di Canio goal at old Trafford I was thinking about it the other day and he said I never forget how good it felt, He said Dad we will always be West Ham we will always have what they will never have we are Real Fans. As we arrived on the train silent and thinking of the conversation we just had. On came a guy older than me and what looked like his daughter and guess what he said .... after all these years Diane I don't think I can go anymore. I just turned to my son and said. We are not alone ( with a shake of the head) ⚒ West Ham Till I Die ⚒ very very sad times. I've The up most respect for everyone renewing next season but I reckon there will be thousands of old school who don't. I feel for the future and direction. Who knows what the future holds a brake is good as a rest and maybe one day We may think about it. But right now I'm done with them 3 and that Stadium big time ⚒ — feeling heartbroken.”

If you think we lost our history now (whatever that means), wait until a US corporate buys us.....at least we will be rich though
If it is true, very large if, and in any case there's a massive difference between being interested in buying something and actually doing it, I would personally welcome it if the bloke showed he had the ability to develop and grow a sporting business, something our present owners clearly lack. On the other hand if he turned out like the two Americans who owned Liverpool before the Fenway Group--------.
The problem is of course we would only find out once it had actually happened.

Or Randy Lerner, Ellis Short :i am genuinely amused:
In fairness to Lerner he did back Martin O Neill with significant cash, much of which he overpaid to us. 8 million for NRC and 4 million for Harewood as I recall. Not to mention #2 million for Collinms, which was a sizeable fee at the time for a CD. By all accounts some of the other transfer funds were not spent particularly well.
And in true fickle fan fashion Lerner, who as I recall was welcomed with rapturous enthusiasm when he bought the club from Doug Ellis, became Public Enemy #1 when he stopped putting his hand into his pocket.
One thing you can say about the Americans is that want a return on their buck.
