If Paul Allen buys that heap of shit in East London and ploughs mega bucks into it, that might just about finish me off with football.

I'm sure the dildo brothers and Miss Piggy would snatch his arms off for a mega sale like that.

What a disgusting idea that is. Just thinking about that pikey scum up on an equal footing with the other financially doped clubs like Man City and Chelsea, watching them buying top players, paying them top wages and winning trophies while they and their disgusting fans take great delight in giving it the big 'un all over us and in our faces, makes me feel physically sick.

On second thoughts, I ask myself why someone like Paul Allen, with all his money and influence would even look at a shit house like West Ham. They don't even have their own stadium, all their players are rubbish, they have no history and their fans are thick as shit.

Mind you, if he's going to buy West Ham and put them into liquidation, I may well be all for it.

If you read any of the articles about this story, they all link back to the "West Ham World" website.
There's absolutely zero reports other than this, which suggests it's bollocks.

If Allen is buying any club it’s us. We are NFL ready. He’d have to knock that shit heap down and start all over again. Seahawks would never move, but 2 games a season in London May be appealing to grow the brand.

Thanks very much mate, that makes an awful lot more sense.

While I'm about it, are there any links to Paul Allen considering a bid for THFC after we complete the new stadium, or was that all bollocks too?

:unsure:

Isn’t there something in place so that they can’t knock it down for a good few years ?

They can’t knock it down at all unless the mayor agrees to sell it to them. Nobody is gonna rebuild it unless they fully own it. It’s a minefield for any new owner. Saying that I actually believe West Ham could become a huge club. They effectively have the whole of east London and Essex as a catchment. And tbh they still turn up even in that shithole with shit football. Imagine them with a proper stadium and proper investment quite scary.

Yes twitter rumour. But has been linked with West Ham. We’d obviously make more sense given NFL link.



As a blazers fan I would stray away from PA. He has all the money in the world, but his Seahawks are his baby. He appoints idiotic hires too.

Its not that unusual. I have been in companies where top salesmen can earn more than the president - and its because they drive more revenue. Same situation with the players. People only pay to see the players - not the manager or chairman.

Worked in mayfair for investment banks. Gregg Coffey worked in my building for glg/man group. He was going to start his own company but the finacial crash hit. He was in the carpark and one of the top boys from Moore capital had a chat.

- Thought you were going to start your own company?
- Shit happens.
- Why not come work for us?

He did. Moore had to pay glg/man £500m compensation and gregg earned £125m in his first year there.

One trophy is seventeen years ,the Most expensive ticket prices in Europe a chairman that’s get paid six million a year and the levites lap him.
It’s like Stockholm syndrome.

Where are levites today, this post still relavant..
