Couldn't think - June 2025 onwards
Don’t get me wrong I’m not a Sullivan/Brady apologist, I just don’t know if changing the ownership would change the club’s fortunes.
For me, Sullivan just has no interest in the club other than how much money it can make him. He and Brady are also nowhere near as good at running a club as they think they are. All they saw was short term gain from the stadium move, but now our potential for commercial revenue growth, which is so vitally important if you want to grow a club under the current rules and regs, is severely limited so we're being left further and further behind.
I'm not saying all other owners are perfect, but there aren't many that have so little respect for their supporters, or "customers" as Brady would rather us be. They've put us in a stadium that was never meant to be permanent in its current configuration, is already showing signs of deterioration and yet is costing its owners a fortune as it is so there's little hope of required maintenance being done.
I think Sullivan is playing a game of multi-million pound chicken with (effectively) the GLA under whichever umbrella holding currently owns the stadium, as the current situation, with the stadium losing millions of pounds every year and with maintenance costs only going to rise, just isn't a viable long term option for the GLA or its rate-payers. -

I appreciate that Sullivan has made mistakes and many false promises.What I don’t really get is how it would make that much difference if there was a change of ownership ,unless it’s a City or Chelsea type deal ( which, personally I wouldn’t be at all happy with).This board has spent big( in West Ham terms) over the past few years, maybe not on the right players but is that their fault or the manager/ recruitment head?
It wasn’t Sullivan’s fault on Saturday that we left a bloke completely unmarked at the back post, or heads drop when we go behind.

Relegation is catastrophic, not only do you lose your core (not that we have one) and have to get promoted but when you do you then have to fashion a side that can survive the first couple of seasons before you can establish again as what has been made clear is that a Championship winning side is not good enough for the Premier League. -

I really doubt that's the opinion of all Leicester fans -

To be honest I think relegation might do us a favour. Bowen is the only player I'd be sorry to lose. It might give us the opportunity to really reset the squad. Plus we'd have a season where we'd be winning a few more games.
Relegation is always so depressing, as you inevitably lose your best players, so if, and it's a big if, you come back up, it's with a weaker squad than you were relegated with.

We may win a few more games in the championship but I’m not sure we’d win enough to get promotion.
In the second half of last season when we lost it was by the odd goal. Now if we lose it’s by at least 3. -

Sadly, if the season deteriorates, Bowen might be tempted to go. After Kudus, Paqueta, then possibly Bowen, what's left. Without new billionaire owners, I can see us (not the fans) just happy to avoid relegation each season until 'they' decide to sell up. Supporting the mighty Hammers for close to 60 years, this is one of the most depressing times. But being a Hammer, despite the temporary depression, I am too long in the tooth to think of any other team -

Never seen so many leave with 20 mins to go.
Arsenal last season for one. -

Thought we were pretty good for the first half, and the first 30 minutes in particular were the best I can remember us playing at home in a really long time. I’ve been critical of JWP since Moyes was in charge but actually thought yesterday he showed some signs of being more mobile and showing more energy to move into spaces to receive a pass in the first half, which helped us.
The first goal is a shame and then Soucek’s really ruined it for us. We completely collapsed and couldn’t stay in it. I don’t think the result looks like that if Soucek isn’t stupid there. -

I assume that is a 3 game ban for Souček?
