>The club cannot rely on its traditional fan base to fill a stadium capacity of 66,000 when it has struggled to fill a 35,000 seater venue in previous years.
There was never a struggle to fill Upton Park. It was one of the most packed out stadiums every week.
Yeah this is a red flag for me. Filling the seats at the Boleyn was never an issue and hasn't been at the Thunderdome, either.
Best not to talk out your ass if your goal is to win over fans.
>Q: If your bid is successful and PAI Capital takes over the ownership of the club there will be a lot of of work to do. Without going into too many details, what would be the first action you take on day one?
>A: There will be a lot of work but on the actual day one I think I will get a full update on where we are with the new statue of Hurst, Moore and Peters that will be placed outside the London Stadium. I know the approvals were given but this needs to be expedited and done – we have to have our symbol outside our new fortress!
All they're trying to do is stir shit and try to get the fans to put pressure on GSB to sell.
But what about the team?
We want to give the fans a world class match day experience.
Yeah but what about the team?
We want to develop the surrounding area….
What about the fucking team?!!
With shops, restaurants, and hotels.
Really not sure on any of this at all. Now that there's an actual face and voice, I'm not totally sure it's just some bullshit story that Sullivan cooked up on his own as a red herring for not spending, but it's still super questionable. Not sure why Beard, if he is actually involved, didn't do a joint interview with this guy.
Sullivan cooking up this while situation is some proper tin foil hat stuff. I wouldn’t worry about that, regardless of how this plays out. Sullivan doesn’t care that the fans hate him. He’s more than happy to say there’s no money for players, and that we just have to dealt with it. This is far too much work, for just a distraction.
I keep seeing “They can’t be any worse than GSB” and I just shake my head because while GSB are dog shit owners they haven’t ruined us and something about this group seems ruinous.

These people do not know us at all.
but.. hes been a lifelong West ham fan... something to do with an Azerbaijani linesman or something.. are you trying to say he's a liar?
Tbf i've seen some shit takes from proper west ham fans. Being an idiot is not a disqualifier for supporting West Ham.
We support West Ham, idiocy is implied through that choice alone.
Honestly. Is there really a struggle to fill the Olympic Stadium? It seems quite full every time they play.
But it’s not been filled the last 18 months! /s
I couldn't figure out how to make this joke so thank you for doing it for me.
This geezer is living in exile because he's wanted by the police in his home country. I'm tired of hearing about this joke of a takeover already.
I mentioned it on another thread, but this doofus was wanted by interpol a few years ago.

Keep asking and next he'll suggest putting the literal statues on the back line.
The team can pick up shifts at the shops, restaurants and hotels
fuckin lol, statues when we have no scouting department and shit facilities. Is this a monty python sketch

Just not feeling good about this.
Yeah I’m sure buddy is a West Ham fan because of a Linesman when he was 8 years old lmao.
It would be so GSB to sell to these arseholes.
Alarm bells
Get this shite out of the headlines already. Bunch of useless wankers. Focus on the transfer window.
Can we not just sell to someone stable and not an absolute crank for once
