We’ll probably spend more money in this window than ever

|

West Ham Chairman David Gold told Talksport listeners that West Ham were ready to spend more this summer than ever before.

Gold told Jim White “You can’t put a figure on [what Pellegrini has to spend this summer] because you don’t know the players who are going to leave, therefore that will add to the kitty, or wont, as it might be,”

“What I can assure everybody is that we’ll probably spend more money in this window than we’ve spent in any window in the past.

“That bodes well for our intent and we must wait and see where it takes us.”

“He’s working on it right now, that’s his job, that’s why he’s been brought in

“He’s identified the positions he feels he needs to strengthen and it’s up to him now to tell us the players and we’ll do everything we can to bring them in.”

    I heard the interview live and it was more like a PR exercise for West Ham’s owners than much else.

    Clearly, Gold is ‘Good Cop’ which is why he is invariably the one interviewed.

    The other pair speak when it is least advisable.

    Best Buddie White asked the most stupid question possible: “Did you lie to the fans?” Now, any half-wit would answer: “No”, to that question.

    What makes it a stupid question is that, of the 3 possible answers: “Yes”, “No”, “I don’t know,” , it is not possible to know whether the answer is the truth or not since it is a paradoxical question.

    After Gold had gone (off the phone line), White did the Baroness SunCol routine and suggested West Ham fans toe the line and believe whatever the over-emotional Gold told them.

    As to the subject of this topic, it would be difficult to spend much less…….

    These two gold and Brady have all the cheek going . Both are clowns especially gold after trying to get moyes after he was given the ok from the geezer with the money in our club David Sullivan to bring his mate in avram grant and we all know where that led don’t we godly he then with Brady wants to keep moyes cheap deal and then take credit for Sullivan bringing in pelle. On top of that he thinks Dec rice is English. How stupid are these two and I thank Mr Sullivan for actually being the boss and realising fans have had enough so it’s time to get on thier side at last. Perhaps Burnley match the penny dropped at last so after giving him stick I congratulate you Mr Sullivan and right behind you now letting pelle control all and all you need now is to get rid of those two comedians for good your get investment from someone else who actually knows something about football. Well done mate.

    For Christ’s sake!!! Why don’t they just do it ? (Spend some of their money) And not go on and on, and harp on about doing it ???? Next level, expenditure, ect, ect, ect???? Wait a minute Of course it’s season ticket renewal time. Public relations exercise on behalf of the three chairpersons me thinks 😊

    Heard this line several times before.Once a skinflint always a skinflint.

    Does this board learn nothing from recent history! Even after what happened at Burnley they still write verbal cheques they might not be able to cash, they just can’t seem to help themselves, is anything actually going to change? How many other Chairman of top tier clubs say such unecessary things in public. Please stay way from the media all three of you and let the new Manager manage

    Where is Rads these days? No posts for a long time.

  • Spotted Dog says:

    In one breath some fans say SUGO should step away from hiring and firing players and let Pelle do the job: next it’s, “Tell Pellegrini to develop Rice and keep Collins”.

  • clubhammer says:

    What must pellegrini be thinking listening to members of the board talking like this I bet he’s never had chairman talking on radio and to press like this,at least sully and son are keeping fairly quiet just wish gold and Brady would . What does it take to make them realise the no other clubs chairmen/directors carry on like it leave it to the manager to do press conferences,he will do it in a professional manner and stop West Ham from beginning a laughingstock so to the board shut up and put up the funds to let the manager manage to club

    I don’t even know who half the owners or CEOs of most PL clubs are. Hardly a squeak from them. I do appreciate some decisions being explained & the occasional mid season end season assessment. But beyond that – shushhhhhhhhhhhh!
