Oh feck off. Don't get our hopes up like that.
You had me there!
Nice one!
C'mon, Elvis.
Cheap.
Cheap.
prick
Is he then gonna go and buy all the Czech players to make the hammers a Czech 11?
Fecker.
I've ignored more threads than replied to them lately. Cafe needs CPR.
Another one into the list of ignored shit.

As if the Glazers would ever give up their cash cow.
Will be fun to watch them buy 11 players and a new manager in one window Sparta Prague style 
Aren't the Glazers technically billionaires?
Maybe shows what I'm thinking with the PL these days, or my need for the opticians but I read that as "Crazy" billionaire...
Still another billionaire. Before long, every club will have their own, then the benefit sort of wains no?

Worth taking Elvis off ignore to see the post?
Nah
Yes! It's great.
Down with this sort of thing.
18 clubs already have Billionaire owners including West Ham!
According to Wiki only Norwich (you can kinda tell...) and Watford haven't.
I generally believe we will be taken over at some point in the future…some rich united fans will start to see these smaller clubs being taken over and make a bid, even a joint bid perhaps
If it is a single owner and not a group, what income level would you expect an owner to be?
Net worth of $4b according to forbes, most of which is bound to be tied up in business and not cash reserves. Not going to be a Saudi/Abu Dhabi style splurge or even an Abramovich style one by the looks of it. Still, a couple hundred million could make them dangerous (not that they currently aren't to us already).
On a side note he's 46 with a 24 year old girlfriend. She's from money too and is apparently the daughter of the richest person in the Czech Republic.
That's interesting to read, I guess I sort of misspoke in terms of the billionaire thing, seems these days billionaire is the new millionaire. Would be interesting to know how many of the owners were billionaire before their clubs became established PL teams, and of those how many are self made cash bought billionaires, and how many are debt based and arguably worth less. Have to say I didn't know the Brentford chap was a billionaire, and also thought Tony Bloom was worth significantly less at Brighton, still you learn something everyday.
I suppose I was more meaning the sugar daddy multi-billionaire style owners with regards to the level playing field re transfers/facilities and so on, which looking above, this chap could or could not fall into that category.
Billionaires who want to pump money into a club as opposed to leeching it out.
What's the opposite of a Sugar Daddy? A Salty Mummy?
A Glazer!
