So things have started moving with Brady and Nathan Thompson gone today, with Andy Mollett stepping down at the end of the season. It also appears that Kretinsky has bought enough of the Gold shares to become Joint Chairman.

I just hope Sullivan Jnr doesn't get a more prominent position at the club!
I'm really undecided about DK. He is less odious than the Baroness and less meddling than Sullivan, but he has shown no interest in West Ham as a project, and is only interested in a return on his investment.

Since his involvement in Sparta Prague, they have gone from the main Czech club to second to their rivals, Slavia Prague.

Kretinsky is nothing more than a professional investor. He has no love for the club. Nothing further than his investment and what profit is in it for him.

Regardless, cutting her wages of the bill has to be seen as a positive.

Tin Legs, mate. There's no multi billionaires out there that support West Ham. And the same goes for near enough every other club. Sadly modern day football is all about money.

Hammer, thanks for that, but I think you misunderstand my meaning. I'm fully aware that the driving force in modern football is profit, but my point is that there are investors that do have genuine affection for the clubs in which they invest. Kretinsky is not one of them. He is motivated solely by £sd.

I think it's telling that DK, whilst giving KB a gushing send-off, cited the great work she did by selling Declan Rice to Arsenal. He just sees the numbers: cost us nothing, sale price over £100 million.

Well, it may have been a good price, but at what cost: our midfield disintegrated overnight, and we have struggled ever since. Having said all that, hopefully he won't be bringing in his preferred choice players.
