You all know the background. Kretinsky can easily raise any money needed to buy the gold shares, fact.

Staveley is in fact representing 3 different consortiums all are well known and independently worth billions, although she has done a deal, it’s a handshake.

On paper it looks like put up or shut up to our Czech shareholder. He has time on his side to do it if he wishes and become 52% stakeholder, giving complete control.

However everybody is missing an important point here. Sullivan has been given the same option, he can buy gold shares if he wishes! Further to that I understand that he is talking with various people in order to do so.



Whilst Sullivan is a minnow amongst whales, there’s nothing stopping him doing this, and then of course resume control of West Ham, and or selling the whole lot to one of Staveley consortiums.

This could tip the whole lot up? It’s not beyond the realm of possibilities.

Or he can now sit back, let things play out and demand any silly price, should someone want his shares

Joyful. It is my belief that DK does not want to be the majority shareholder, which is why he only wants to take a return on his investment.

Hi Joyful, please do not underestimate DK. He's done one amazing thing for West Ham, getting rid of the "sex pest", and while you think he had nothing to do with that, he did go and watch a programme called Spotlight on Staveley. You might have your doubts, and do you know who one of her good friends is, Will Salthouse, one of the "sex pests" very close business associates. Call me hopping on the bandwagon, but do you believe in coincidences, cos that's a big one. And you say Staveley's consortium are worth billions. Well, DK is hardly scrimping and scraping, and his empire will strike back in this matter. imo, he's nobody's fool and doesn't say a lot, unlike the predator. Does that make him a bad person? Listen, I'm firmly in the DK camp, as you can tell. He didn't start off very well at Spartan Prague, but they are flying high now. All this is mainly down to DK normally buying small percentages in businesses, but he didn't with the Post Office, who before he did were shedding bucket loads of money each year, and cos it's taken him a fair while, he is starting to make it a profitable business again.

He did the same at Sainsbury's, who wasn't doing great. So because he hasn't done anything in 5 years, he stated a few times he wouldn't put money in unless Sullivan did, and that wasn't going to happen, and Sullivan wouldn't have got £85 million for MF and £60 mill for Jimmy, as he would have taken £60-65 mill for him and about £40 for Jimmy. Now why I am guessing, I truly believe I wouldn't be far off the mark with us being a Championship club, as teams trying to buy those 2 would have tried to use this against us. So those are my views, but I think DK could be the best thing that us happened at WHUFC for a very long time, as he hasn't done too bad since the "sex pest" has been off the scene, has he. ⚒️⚒️⚒️ ???

Is it true Ed that DK can use his pre-emption rights and that would stop Staveley from getting the gold shares is that correct Ed thank you ⚒️⚒️⚒️?

{Ed001's Note - I believe so, yes.}
