However on reflection i was being harsh. This is a man with a strong football pedigree, not just a rich bod looking for a plaything.
I think he is getting involved for the right reasons, being a member of the UEFA committee he will have an excellent top level contact base as well. I don't think he is going to be a massive provider of funds, but i can be West Ham benefiting from this.
Agreed akfa, wouldnt want a board what is foriegn, in any way shape or form!
If i were westham i would be gutted. They have just gone down the chelsea and manyoo route, and they hate those 2 teams. All the years of Brown out chants now they not even owned by anyone who is even half cockney!
I'm more concerned with having a chairman as ugly as this!!!
Imagine the spamming he must have got at school!! His forehead must have been red raw.
In all seriousness, I would have been distraught had Kia whats-his-names consortium taken over. At least this chap is a footballing bloke. Only time will tell but i pray to god we don't end up like chelsea
I personally would hate it, but i guess we would never no until it happens at charlton. But i said i would hate it if hoddle got the job, i said i could of easily dropped it all as i really dislike that wiesel. But obviously you can never tell until it happens.
If we got taken over, i would probably be the same as you, support the team no matter what.
Still going to start this chant tho when we play you at the Valley!

Announcement imminent according to Sky Sports News. Speculation that Zola will be sacked as William Hill have suspended all betting on next Prem mgr to be sacked.
They are not 100% certain that Sullivan/Gold will be successful.
Someone will always dig West Ham out of whatever hole they find themselves in at any given time. How many chances will yer actual 'appy 'ammers 'ave?? The original fall in shit come up smelling of roses football club.

Agree with Pilchard, they've always been lucky bastards

I'm sure we could trust you not to sign any of our young stars uncle lol
Don`t think that there are too many football club buyers out there right now. West Ham have got out of jail with this one and I only hope that Charlton can find a get out of jail card too ! Next season is starting to look scary imho.
So if rumours were true there were four potential buyers for West Ham, thats four individuals/groups who had £100million to spend plus taking on approx: £100 million in debt and needing to spend say £20 million in the next fortnight to help keep the club up. Probably have to pay compensation to get rid of manager/staff/unwanted players too.
My question is, given the current financial climate and general meltdown in football, are people f**king mad. So pleased I am not a multi millionaire.
Quite an interesting overall review from the Telegraph, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/westham/7022362/David-Sullivan-wins-battle-to-take-control-of-West-Ham-United.html

Richard Murray is 'foreign'.
Just a thought.
Murray, foreign, what gives this away is his thick Greek accent eh addickted!

To Gilbert and Sullivan by all accounts
Could of got a much better team for a fraction of the price on the south side.
