LIES LIES LIES !!
If you’re still undecided on whether to protest then l hope the blatant lies in the latest post to all West Ham fans will help convince you.
I am sure there are many lies in the statement, but the one about £100m net spend per season has made my piss boil as it just bears no reflection to the real numbers shown below.

An average net £38.4m spend is probably comparable with smaller clubs like Brighton, Bournemouth, Brentford, Fulham and Palace. Not a high amount for a club coming off the back of 3 very successful European revenue seasons and 60,000 ticket sales.
So, where did the £100m come from?
The only possible explanation is that they have deliberately included 4 summer windows and still divided it by three. Ie, I think they included Summer 22 in these calculations, when Kretinsky's money enabled us to spend £147m net on players.
From 2022 to 2025 there is technically three years. But, it’s a bit like saying there are two days until tomorrow because you include both today and tomorrow.
To make matters worse, the low net spend for our supposed size has also included mismanagement of the highest degree. The losses on so many players under these owners, due to terrible investments and a lack of any consistent policy, helps to explain why we are now behind the clubs I mention above, and why we never seem to have funds.
Anyway, this is another lie exposed by these owners. If you think it’s worth sharing with others ahead of the protests, then please like and/or retweet to do so.
PROTEST V PALACE
Everyone talks the talk but will they walk the walk? We need as many of us out as possible, we need our big accounts, fan channels and old school fans to fully support this as well.

End this scam. Bring water & energy into public ownership.
It’s a huge @Crap90sFootball milestone today.

The header is almost perfect. The power. The precision. The placement.
Such a shame it’s in the wrong fucking net.
1/2 My dad unfortunately collapsed and passed away at the Wolves game last Monday night, he had to be carried up stairs from his seat in block 123 to be able to have CPR performed on him, his watch went missing when he was moved and we desperately want it back..
Don't stand by and do nothing while our club is destroyed. Contact @WestHam + @karren_brady and tell them how you disgusted you are about the loss of concessions. Do it NOW.

Make no mistake, this is only the start by @nicola_keye and Co. It WILL get even worse.
