Unbeaten, 2nd in PL, a top window but TC still talking PAI

Tony Cottee is still at it on behalf of Pai Capital as he chases his elusive dream of seeing West Ham taken over with the admission he will have a job if that happens

His latest excursion into the media is to talk to the Where’s Jeff? Podcast, an outlet of which I’ve never heard – no doubt others have.

Never mind that we are unbeaten this season, second in the league  and had what is widely recognised as a highly successful transfer where we became the fourth highest net spend club.

Tony seems convinced that he and Pai can do better despite remaining unclear on the detail other than to say he’s happy with what he’s heard of the player spending power!

He claims he has been in touch with the potential investors and he says he’s excited after asking them about their plans for the stadium, the training ground and how much they were willing to spend on new players.

Predictably he claims he is very happy with the answers but gives no insight into what’s going to happen in any of the three areas.?

The former striker was speaking about a potential takeover at West Ham a – a scenario in which he has been involved three times previously!.

He said: “I think he will sell eventually, over the next few weeks there could be a few developments.

“The fans are delighted and thrilled with what’s going on on the field, but you have to look at a bigger picture, David Sullivan and David Gold, to a point they’ve done a good job, and they’ve taken the club to where they’ve taken the club.

“But the people I’ve spoken to, I’m speaking about PAI Capital obviously. They approached me and I spoke to them and I’m usually apprehensive, but I went there as a fan, I asked about the stadium, the training ground and most importantly, how much money they will spend on new players, and if I didn’t like the answers I wouldn’t have backed them publicly. I honestly believe these guys can take the club forward.”

Is anyone still listening?
