Comments on: Where are the Buyers? http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2008/11/20/where-are-the-buyers/ Iain Dale's Hammers Diary Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:16:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: West Ham Fan No 32 http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2008/11/20/where-are-the-buyers/comment-page-1/#comment-11441 West Ham Fan No 32 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 06:46:28 +0000 http://westham.wordpress.com/?p=707#comment-11441 Well done Upson, Bellers and Collison ( and Collins ) By all accounts Iain the club is up for sale, who would want to risk their money when they don't know how many compensation claims we will have to settle ? I suspect the buyers are waiting for us to go into administration once we have to pay up all the compensation for the Tevez debacle. Why is Scott Duxbury still here ? Also how can we be liable for a decision made bby the FAPL ? We were fined a record fine, surely Sheffield Utd should sue the FAPL not us. There must be more to this case than meets the eye, because it seems strange that no one is calling the FAPL to task for not deducting points. Well done Upson, Bellers and Collison ( and Collins )

A} A large number of them, are quite obviously not celebrities and have never even been heard of by anyone i have shown the list to. And others are just plain dubious such as Rod Stewart who has had as many clubs to support as he has had wives. B} What proof is there that all the American actors and musicians are indeed West Ham fans (in the true sense of the word fan). Being told by the cabbie picking you up from the airport that a team called West Ham exists does not constitute support when you are then asked the ridiculous question 'what soccer team do you support mr hollywood superstar?' C} Surely Reg Varney is now an ex celebrity hammers fan. D} Perhaps you could update it so as to make those here under the age of 30 feel more included, and adding the likes of James Corden (Gavin & Stacey) and Russell Brand, who is probably the most vocal celebrity West Ham fan there is. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=CbWmTLaW6HU&NR Seriously dude, consider changing that so called ‘celebrity’ hammers fans bit.

This has to worry any investor even those with deep pockets. No one knows the outcome of the Sheffield United saga but it cant be helping our situation...

If Iain's blog has taught us anything then it's that we never agree on anything 100% as west ham fans right? No? See what I mean. Just pray it goes to someone who supports our traditions. On that subject, if BG did some how manage to keep it then I'd be happy. We don't want no crazy Shinawatra type guy or comedians like Hicks and Gillett. I bet you Kia's doing some underhand sly tictacs. Let us NOT buy our club! If Iain’s blog has taught us anything then it’s that we never agree on anything 100% as west ham fans right? No?

I think that there has definitely been interest in the club, but the deal will be done on the QT like the Man City deal. As soon as a bid is accepted all interested parties will follow and put their money on the table. It's also interesting that a couple of weeks ago the club officially said on the club website that it was close to announcing the new sponsorship deal. Personally, I think that this was shelved until the new owner deal is done. For example if our new owner was prepared to invest heavily in the team, we would be able to command a better sponsor deal.
