PAI(n) About To Claim They Forced GSB To Spend Big!

As PR campaigns go, PAI(n)'s media assault on West Ham got off on the wrong foot, they have been shooting at their own ever since as their 'charm' campaign has continued to lurch from one crisis to the next. Citing Rio Ferdinand as a Hammers legend was a faux pas of the highest order, but subsequent statements from what is essentially a hedge fund company have done little to add glister to their gold.

The last publicly issued statement from PAI(n), was that they would 'generously' maintain a tight lip regarding the transfer window activity so as not to harm the club's potential acquisition of players, a worthy sentiment indeed. However we have learned from a GENUINE source that their next planned press release will contain the equivalent of a 'with brass knobs on' statement, their intention is to 'piggy back on to what was a quite exceptional transfer window by insinuating that the club would never have backed David Moyes to the extent that they did in the closing days of the window had it NOT been for PAI(n)'s aggressive take over bid.

Having already 'gone public' with their buy out attempt, a stance that is not normal business practise, PAI(n) will surely show their true colours by this latest potential gaffe. So far virtually everything that has emanated from them has bordered on the farcical, their naive intention of turning the Queen Elizabeth 'park' into a profit making zone, a task failed by many others, is indicative of a poorly thought out business program that smacks of a complete lack of knowledge and understanding of the club's fan base.

PAI(n)'s hope of riding in on the coat tails of fan discontent have hit the buffers, because people are not so stupid as to accept the grass is always greener following a take over, especially an aggressive one, there are those who want rid of GSB, particularly Sullivan and Brady, irrespective of what it costs, to which we would suggest a little Rolling Stones advise that we have written before. "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, well you might find, you get what you need"

Hammers fans have an inherent dislike of the owners for many, many 'crimes', however they also are aware of just how BAD a poorly thought out take overs can be, with Blackburn and Bolton being classic examples. Things can always get better but things can always get worse, for the time being it seems that the majority of fans, whilst not being overjoyed with the way the club is run, are prepared to see how things pan out with the 'devil they know' at least in the short term and recognise that PAI(n)'s bid is an attempt to cash in on fan discontent at the very time when everyone needs to be singing from the same hymn sheet! - Ed

I am no great fan of GSB but

I am no great fan of GSB but with the latest window & them seem to be seeing sense by letting Moyes run the football side perhaps they could work for the club providing they take a back seat.
Moyes will not waste money and surely he must have earned their trust.At present, the club is going in one direction. Up.
Good foresight on Moyes part adding Alex Kral. Give him a season to bed in and ready to replace the impending departure of Declan Rice. Is this the reason Coventry was sent to the Posh to gain more experience to be eventual cover for our Czech enforcers?
Let's just hope GSB let Moyes run our club like Clough & Fergie.

It is what it is and we are where we are....

No apologies, but I remember when we brought Phill Parkes for a world-record fee for a goalkeeper in 1979 £565,000. Peanuts by today's standards but world record it was back then and we even beat Man U to his signing. Little did I realise that we would be going backwards from that point on.
This club has never really had Chairmen that have backed this club or had a plan, but here we are, All of the Stars seem to have been aligned and we now have both a manager with a plan and the chairmen (however late in the day, credit where its due) who are backing this plan to the best of their ability.
Finally, we are heading in the right direction and most of our supporters are on board with this. But being the serial kings of calamity, we are never far away from controversy. Some supporters seem to have been seduced by a flirt who in all probability will not deliver on the vague promises issued. To deliver on promises made during possibly the WORST time to invest in a football club, which is really a vanity project for Billionaires and a loss-making one at that, takes both Wealth and Class in equal measure...PAI haven't checked the first box and have failed on the second.
What Moyes is creating at this club right now is the stuff of legend and I do hope that GSB continues to back Moyes in the best way possible, which is what they have been doing since his return. I do NOT believe in PAI and I have seen enough in my life to know when something doesn't sound right and PAI are beginning to annoy me greatly. I have never seen or heard of any person or group trying to purchase an organisation by attempting to cause disruption and unrest to "Overthrow" the current owners. PAI are Clowns at best.
I want those PAI(ns) to foxtrot because as a West Ham supporter I feel that for the first time as long as I can remember that this club is finally moving in the right direction and that the foundations are being laid for the future success of this club.
