David Croft has been the lead F1 commentator on Sky Sports since 2012, when the company obtained the Formula One rights. Since obtaining his role as a commentator, he has also made it known that he’s a massive West Ham fan.
He has been very vocal about West Ham over the past couple of years and has made numerous appearances on Podcasts and Interviews, speaking about the club as well as the good, the bad and the ugly.
Yesterday, he went live on Sky Sports and had a segment discussing the situation at West Ham and spoke about how poor the club is, as well as a plea to the owners.
“I like stats in Formula One, so I’ll give you a stat Roman.
3.1% of our total game time, that is the amount of time West Ham have in the Premier League this season have been ahead. 25 minutes and 6 seconds.
Opening stages against Chelsea and the last few minutes against Nottingham Forest, and that is it. The next worst is Fulham on 13.3% that’s how bad West Ham are, we’re not sleepwalking to relegation, we are hurdling 225mph top speed down the Mexico City Straight here at that pace towards relegation.”
West Ham, at the moment are currently sitting on 4 points, and with the upcoming games ahead, you have to question where we will start to pick up points?
Typically, people use Christmas as a period of time to question whether they’ll go down or not and in recent times, the last team to escape from relegation from the lowest points tally was Leicester, who were on 10 points come Christmas in the 2014/15 season.
Crofty’s comments continued to the owners, bellowing: “David Sullivan and Karen Brady, your time’s up! You’ve got to go, I don’t know what decisions you’re making that you think you’re getting right, but you’re not.
If this was a series at The Apprentice, Karen Brady, you’d have been fired after Episode One quite frankly and David Sullivan, it seems like you’re running my club, our club as a vanity project. Stop doing it, get out now while you can while West Ham have a chance of staying up.”
Whilst fans may not have their voices heard the majority of times, pundits or people of stature have a voice of meaning and the more of those types of comments that occur, the more the pressure is put on.

So who is out there
That could take over this club? Do they have the money, not only to buy this club but to invest? Are we stuck with the London Stadium as it is or can it be demolished and rebuilt as a football ground? WTF is Kretinsky doing in all this and would he sell his lot? Golds family seem to be hiding behind the sofa as well. And finally, what is left as an asset that would even attract any investor? Sullivan and Brady have sucked everything out of this club almost as a money laundering exercise.
Answerless - Kretinsky
From what I've read and known, I believe 'Insky doesn't want to invest as he believes Sullivan won't match it or will waste the money. His idea's don't ever get considered by the board and the majority of the time he's outnumbered when making decisions. It's comical!
We dont have any assets,dont
We dont have any assets,dont own the ground,i think its a 99 year lease,dont own it,cant pull it down,thats it,cant attract any decent players,not going anywhere no vision,thats that,no one wants our players thats that,Antonio isnt with us so would be free,no one wants him,now training at Brentford,would be good business to get him back,cant make things worse......So sum total of nothing to sell and no attraction to come on board,so proper bollocksed.
