Truly awful from the players to lack fight, passion and commitment in a game like this. Millwall want it more and West Ham yet to turn up. Need to see a response in the second half. #WHUFC
@TheBotNPodcast Not remotely surprised, but it was okay for some fans, top of the league, people forgetting that defensively we are shit. And same set of fans content with this hated it under Moyes, genuinely I give up 🤣 if the players and coach can’t fight in this match then it says everything
Really hope Disney filmed tonight’s game for Welcome to Wrexham, be good to see how many times Phil Parkinson swears in the dressing room after that defeat. @VancityReynolds
So turns out Staveley wanted not just Gold’s shares but also Sullivan’s…so no sign of Sullivan selling up, just like I expected. West Ham will be fucked for many more years to come at this rate then.
Remain a small shareholder, we have wayyyy too many small shareholders, combine them all together and you look at 5% of the football club, add Tripp Smith as well, then you're looking at 16% in just small shareholders. Too many chefs in this kitchen!
Vanessa Gold, representing the Gold family, said:
"I am pleased that the West Ham shareholders have reached an agreement, with Daniel Křetínský becoming the largest shareholder and taking a more active role in the decision-making at the club, as well as giving certainty to our fans and clarity over the future."
“My ambition through this process has been to ensure the club had the right leadership and to enable West Ham to achieve its potential and return to its rightful place in the Premier League. This agreement, which was first outlined back in June, provides that stability, allowing the club and its management to continue to focus on the football season. I want to thank Amanda Staveley and her partners for their engagement in this process and the passion they've shown for West Ham throughout."
"It has been an honour to serve the club as joint chair and director and to continue the legacy of my father David Gold. I will remain a small shareholder, but more importantly, I will forever be a passionate Hammers fan. I wish Daniel and the new leadership every success and thank our fans for their ongoing support and kindness."
And if anyone is surprised Sullivan has increased, I personally am not, ridiculous process, where the club is now in probably larger turmoil, Smith increasing is also silly! Power struggle now continues for the club!
We need someone to buy the club in full immediately!
NEW: Hearing an agreement has been reached for Gold family shares that will see Daniel Kretinsky become largest shareholder at West Ham. Sources say he will rise to 46 per cent, with David Sullivan up to 40. Tripp Smith rises to 11 per cent. Expecting a statement soon but story to follow on @TimesSport
Has to be the biggest bullshit ever, leaving it this close? We have a game this evening? We will not make deals, we have had a shit start to the season? Why the fuck are we defending this? Feel like the fans are better defending this shit than the players can defend on the pitch!
I can assure you, the plan was very much to leave things this late in the window.
Players become available at massively reduced prices and clubs are far more willing to do deals in these final hours. The scouting work on West Ham’s targets has already been done — this is now simply a race against time to get the paperwork completed.
@GreenStHammers@JacobSteinberg Hardly creative I’d find, over half the budget on one player, when you let go of like 10 players? Lack of depth in a 46 game season! It’s almost like we don’t want to bounce back up to the Prem! Honestly the board need to be honest with the fans NOW!
