Report: Something Fishy About Take Over 'Leaks'
Some people infer that we are over zealous in our criticism and overly sceptical when it comes to West Ham United's hierarchy, this may be explained by the fact that in the 20 years the Org has been running we have seen little evidence to convince us otherwise, and it is not only the unholy trinity currently in possession of the club, but the bunch of criminals who preceded them and in turn the bunch of cowboys who oversaw the pillaging of the club's assets back in the Brown and Cearns era!
Manipulating the Press is a very cost effective way of 'floating ideas', and is a course of action championed by those currently in power at the London Stadium. Having seen their investments, mainly based in office and retail real estate, lose almost half their value since the Covid-19 pandemic, the owners are finally looking to jump ship, or are they?
The 'take over' rumours have been so expertly drip fed that the 'content' is more than a little bit suspicious, in fact it has all the hall mark of a concerted act of 'Sugoism', a term soon to be added to the English language which means if you make enough noise about a 'target' you might just find a mug to facilitate your plans. Step forward Jim White, or James Brown Nose' as he is wonderfully referred to by our own Flying Physio author Darren Harry, White and SUGO are a classic example of how the old boys network runs, owners tell 'mouth piece' what they want 'filtered' through and mouthpiece duly obliges on Talkshite!
The very consistency and regularity of the recently 'exposed' take over bid(s) information is more than a bit fishy and smacks of a back story that would not have looked out of place in the Sunday Sport, that astonishing publication owned originally by David Sullivan that gave Karren Brady her platform to 'greatness' (sic). So if you use the integrity of the Sunday Sport as a template, information released via the club mind you, has 'ratcheted' up the asking price from £350 Million to upwards of £400 Million. Co-incidentally 'Lady' B recently added a hiked up value of the club on her own website, claiming that with her help the club is now worth an eye watering and totally ludicrously high £800 Million!
By announcing the existence of so called potential suitors with a snippet here and a snippet there, the Hammers hierarchy are hoping to buy themselves time until just before the transfer window closes on October the 5th, at this point they will most likely sell Declan Rice, get a dodgy player in part exchange and then pocket the rest of the cash to 'fill the hole' in the club's finances caused by the Pandemic. By the club doing the transfer late, David Moyes will be deprived of the funds he could have used to strengthen the squad, instead the cupboard is going to be increasingly 'raided' until there is nothing left, at that point they may well decide to sell up, leaving any potential new owners with a club that has nothing except fond memories of what the club once was, although judging by the advertising content of their 'pet' website C&H, they seem more interested in 'mammaries' rather than memories.
