It’s weird the way he sticks with Brady.

What’s she got on Sullivan? She must know all his skeletons.

Re: Gold/Sullivan Money Spent On Players From 2010-Now
Any fool can spend money as these inept idiots prove but how many have in recent years been sold on at a decent profit rather than becoming a chain around our necks? They are utterly incompetent in the transfer market.

Not very good at Football...

But got themselves. Lots of personal cash ...Millions a year each......

And hundreds of millions of increased value of the club when sold...

Job done...

Re: Gold/Sullivan Money Spent On Players From 2010-Now
Gold and Sullivan have taken £18.7 MILLION out of the club in interest payments to themselves in the last 5 years.

How much have we spent on full backs in that time?

Even Mike Ashley doesn’t charge Newcastle interest and he’s supposedly the worst owner about.

Sven Roeder 10:27 Sat Aug 29
Re: Gold/Sullivan Money Spent On Players From 2010-Now
The simple truth is the owners just have no aptitude or ability in running a football club
Which they have proved over and over again for 25 years

The resources have been there but the level of mismanagement is astounding
I compare our state to the likes of Leicester & Wolves who ,with respect, are smaller clubs.
Have always said nothing will change til these clowns are forced out.

Re: Gold/Sullivan Money Spent On Players From 2010-Now
Money spent is okay.

Their management of the club is dreadful. Every other year ends up a relegation battle.

The structure of the club is so poor.

My mate works in football ... Redbull are the dogs’ bollocks. They’ve shown that great club management can lead to results allied to reasonable investment.

They should look to that model. Sullivan should start by firing Brady, who is a dinosaur. Bring in the corporates.

After 47 years wasn't easy, but feel it had to be done.

Re: Gold/Sullivan Money Spent On Players From 2010-Now
I've boycotted them, they won't get a penny more from a few of us. No good moaning unless you make a stand and don't go nothing will change, just don't go and give them your hard earned, they will soon sell.

Re: Gold/Sullivan Money Spent On Players From 2010-Now
i'm loaning them money by buying my season ticket this week for a seat they cannot provide until an unspecified date. I might charge them 6% interest on that......

A fuckload wasted by an egomaniac billionaire and his arsehole agent mates.

All whilst the said billionaire gets richer and richer

Re: Gold/Sullivan Money Spent On Players From 2010-Now
I suspect many will have a problem with the money they are putting in this season. With the reduction in wages so far, they are quids in. Agree though, its as much about their incompetence. That extends to them being so incompetent or inept that they do not realise or acknowledge they are incompetent and inept. :-)

What they are good at is pumping out propaganda. The current "we're potless because we have spent so much" noise is impressive. Some fans even buying into it.

Re: Gold/Sullivan Money Spent On Players From 2010-Now
I have never had a problem with the money the Daves "put in".But they then take it out anyway. Which is pennywise, but reveals why they're interested.

They're just bad owners. Crisis buys, crisis managers, lack of foresight, little respect for the club other than a "brand". And under them, WHU has lost massive respect. Bastards.

"Everyone's second favourite team"??
We're now "everyone's favourite laughing stock".

They are just WRONG.

Thats the problem. Transfer fees alone are just one view of the bigger picture. The cash flows would be much more interesting. The wages paid, the agent fees, the financing of the transfers ( stage payments) and of course in recent seasons the large savings in wages on sales of Payet, Hernandez, Perez, Arnautovic, Obiang, Fernandes, and now Ajeti, Hugill, Sanchez, Zaballeta, Roberto. If the wages are saved then in theory they could be used to finance more transfer fees? How much is the interest on loans back to Sullivan and Gold taking too? And of course 120 million TV money coming in each season. The total wage bill ongoing as a proportion of that.

The claims of 11th highest spend are about as reliable as COVID data :-)

What we do know is our owners spend money very poorly. They would be bottom of the value for money table?

They are also the one set of owners at a Prem club that is shouting to the rooftops about being potless, broke, Reverse psychology smokescreen to generally avoid spending anything as their businesses generally are taking a hit and hence their wealth due to Covid? Speculation but why make such a loud noise about it across the media?

Bit out of date but covers a lot of areas of the finance.

Re: Gold/Sullivan Money Spent On Players From 2010-Now
I’ve got no issue with the owners at the minute, anythings better than them Icelandic bunch of cunts who nearly bankrupted us. Attacking positions look good, Soucek has given midfield new dimension, they dont appear to be shamelessly try to sell our best playing staff & the manager appears relatively on top of things. Obviously I withhold the right to change my mind after first 7 games when we’ll see whether we are the same old West Ham or not!!

Re: Gold/Sullivan Money Spent On Players From 2010-Now
iphammer.

They may well and do get shit loads of revenue, but all im saying is before they are cunted (and im not trying to defend them) you need to put it into context with expendeture otherwise i cant see the point?

Time and again we hear about the debt, they put there own money into the club, personal loans etc, this proves nothing, and TBH is more then i thought it would have been!!!!

iphammer 11:14 Fri Aug 28
Re: Gold/Sullivan Money Spent On Players From 2010-Now
My point is they have hardly spent much if you think about the money they get each year from Sky/BT, staying in the premier league, promotion payment for winning the playoff final, season ticket renewals + the sale of UP etc

They must get at least £15 million a year on season ticket renewals.

Re: Gold/Sullivan Money Spent On Players From 2010-Now
considering we are pretty much in the same place tablewise as when they took over it just confirms how fucking useless they are at running top flight football clubs.time they sold up

Sydney_Iron 11:07 Fri Aug 28
Re: Gold/Sullivan Money Spent On Players From 2010-Now
Not trying to defend the owners, but there are also costs involved with running a football club, wages for example, sticking up how much they have spent on transfers over 10 years is all very informative but needs to be in context with revenue and other expendature............

But your point with it is what?

Re: Gold/Sullivan Money Spent On Players From 2010-Now
How about money learnt from interest by the cunts
