Already have!
Jokes aside. Their revenue is like £200m ours will be £500m when stadium finally kicks in. So to maintain an advantage over us we will have to do a lot very wrong ( well on the way ?) and they will have to do a lot very right. It’s pretty unlikely over say a decade.

They're having a good run at the moment while we're having a bad one, but ultimate we're in a far stronger long term position that they are. As others have said, although it's boring to talk about, they don't really have any solid assets so it could all go tits up very quickly. This new investor sounds more like a Stan Kroenke or Mike Ashley type than a City-style scenario so I'm not worried.

They took a £60 million hit on COVID last season and I believe they have taken a £120 million loan out which I assume is to cover potential losses over that period.
So it looks like they are basically giving away 25% of their business to cover debt/operating costs.
At least if the money went on a new training ground there would be a physical asset to increase the value of the club.
Or, if they could get and sustain CL football, but in the modern game their chances of that are pretty slim so the chances of any real return are not good.

Most players have signed shirts of other footballers......Not Noble. I imagine those shirts on the chair to the left are the West Ham away kits with 16 Noble on too.
Wonder how he gets them signed.

Fucking idiot even has the wrong trophy there. England won the Jules Rimet, which was given to Brazil (and subsequently lost) after they won it in 1970. The current trophy wasn't played for until 1974.

Have I missed something? Where does he say it's supposed to be a replica of England's world cup rather than just the current one?
For his entire life, this is what the WC has looked like so maybe he just though it would be a cool decoration

I'm assuming it's his tribute to when 'West Ham won the World Cup'. I don't think that's a stretch, but credit to you for assuming he's not a complete tosser.

The season lasts 38 games not 10. I bet many of their fans are crapping their pants now Senor Conte has arrived here.

He might want to visit the DFB Museum in Dortmund. Plenty of real trophies there, my other half does tours for the museum and gets to handle the trophies once in a while.

Mate, you have to go if you’re nearby! It’s an incredible museum. If you’re interested in an English language tour let me know, I know a great tour guide ? ?
How can the person who tweeted this say that the West Ham fans are singing Anti Tottenham songs? It’s clearly Anti Semitic.

I see that, like West Ham, Dortmund have also won the World Cup. He'll feel right at home.
