Panorama will be interesting tonight with PREDATOR: The Billionaire Football Boss.
David Sullivan is an absolute ghoul! Sadly I won't see it I don't know if BBC iplayer will work in Spain.
It won't paint that creep in a good light!
West Ham will soon be free of him and his family and that's great for the Club and football in general these creeps and crooked business men should be nowhere near our game.

It works with a VPN. ?

Iron_Rangers, do you think the Hammers will come right back up next season, mate? ? I hope they do, as I like West Ham and they deserve to be in the big league. ?
08 Jun 2026 12:49:35
I have no need for a VPN mate. Mon - Fri, I barely have enough time to scratch my arse, never mind watch the Roger Mellie, and I never watch live TV, with the exception of the football on occasion, if Rangers is live and I'm not at West Ham.

SWS, all depends on the players they have, the Championship is one hard league getting out of, mate, Burnley have experience, see Norwich doing well, dozen clubs in that league next season could win it.
08 Jun 2026 14:16:58
At this stage, mate, I have no idea. I'll have a better idea when players leave and replacements are brought in.
I'm not convinced at this stage. The Championship is notoriously difficult and 46 games is a lot. Right now, I think Boro, Norwich, Southampton, and a few others will have an advantage as their squad has been built for that division.
I hope we return, but if I'm honest, I think Wolves, as it stands, will have the best chance of an immediate return as they've been planning for many months.
Ask me at the end of the window thou, and I might have changed my mind. I'm certain thou that, with Sullivan gone and him looking to sell, the Club will be in far better hands.

Sadly I would not be surprised to see the Hammers hang around outside the premiership for a good few seasons. One of their main priorities must be to get a stadium that they own and can really call it home. Their current predicament has shades of Coventry City written all over it.
08 Jun 2026 14:30:02
I don't see that happening, Ted. I think our co-owner, who owns the Royal Mail, has been playing the long game. He'll buy Sullivan's shares, and look to buy the stadium, as it's costing the taxpayer money. The stadium itself is fine if they spend money on it and actually reconfigure it to be a football stadium.
It's in a great location and easy to access via public transport. It would cost Billions to build a new stadium that's not happening.
08 Jun 2026 14:42:39
What do you think it would cost to buy stadium, don't think you will get it on the cheap, would be out be out cry with athletics & all that.
Where did money go from sale of Upton Park? Been a few times, great atmosphere. Sadly lacking at your present home.
08 Jun 2026 14:57:20
Jasp, by all accounts, athletics is hardly seen in the stadium, and it's costing the taxpayer £20-30 million per season. That's an unsustainable model for the London Assembly. That figure will likely rise now WHU are relegated. The likely figure being discussed is as low as £150 million and as high as £300 million, maybe somewhere in between? They're most certainly not building a 60000-seater stadium in London though.
The cost now would be north of 2 billion. If you just look at Bournemouth, who own their stadium and the surrounding land, it's cost them 85 million plus to add 11000 seats.

What is it with all these people with money ending up becoming predators? It seems they don't understand the word no, not used to being told no. It's shocking.
08 Jun 2026 15:38:12
Boy Blue, he's made his money in large from all types of porn. I can't say on this platform what I was told by an ex West Ham employee about him for several reasons but tonight won't be good viewing for him.
It's the worst kept secret around. His management of the club is only a part of why he's absolutely loathed by the WHU fan base. We know what he is.
08 Jun 2026 15:39:28
Hopefully the purchase comes to fruition, then we can have a thread on the possible new name for the stadium. I'll kick it off with the "Ironworks Stadium" with three of the stands named after Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, and Martin Peters.
08 Jun 2026 15:41:37
Killuminati of course?
08 Jun 2026 17:29:04
I like it, Ted. The Ironworks Stadium, or simply The Boleyn for me.
08 Jun 2026 18:33:55
Panorama/BBC? - It'll be honest, trustworthy journalism then.
08 Jun 2026 19:15:23
Iron, it usually is worst kept secret with all these creeps. Money seems to buy silence. It's like it makes them worse, because they're getting away with it until they do it that much they just can't keep a lid on it. Horrendous, mate.
08 Jun 2026 19:52:00
I'll tell you what's honest Athole, he admitted to paying for sex with a 17yr old in his 40's. He never knew. he's a creep! He's well known for being a creep in the porn industry. You believe what you want thou. All these women will be getting paid to lie for Panorama? Paid to be dishonest?
09 Jun 2026 08:57:30
Lesson there for me to read posts properly before commenting!
09 Jun 2026 08:56:57
Iron/All, just to clarify.I skimmed over the posts and naively saw the word predator and thought of the boot!
I don't know anything about this guy but he sounds like a real scumbag. Hopefully gets what he deserves.
Doesn't change my view on the corrupt Panorama and BBC journalists.
