Sullivan has a conspiracy theory

Sullivan reckons there's a 75% chance that we will go down and reckons there's already an escape committee in the dressing room, digging a tunnel to ensure an escape from the Championship Colditz. Moaning that the players are spoilt, he asks, "How do you motivate millionaires?"

A very interesting question is posed when Sullivan asks if Grant should risk selecting players who are already plotting where they will be playing next season, suggesting that they may not show the necessary passion and commitment to win the final three crucial games to secure our survival.

Sullivan asks, "It’s a very difficult decision. Do you go for players who are committed to the club? If you look at that last game and someone is on a Bosman, will that player risk injury? Some will, some won’t. It depends on the mentality of the player.” You can guess who he is thinking of here, with Upson's contract expiring in the summer.

He pulls no punches when he adds, "I think a lot of the players at West Ham will not want to play in that division. I don’t think it’s going to be easy and you need players who are proven in that division plus some young players who are fearless and who have the energy to play 46 games a season. We have some players who find 38 games very difficult." That only just stops short of accusing certain members of the squad of being lazy bastards!

There's talk of bringing in two 25 goal strikers which is a bit worrying. It's midfielders and defenders we need, something that the Davids have failed to grasp since their arrival.

There is something quite refreshing about Sullivan,although the bloke made his money at the "dirtier" end of the market,I would rather have him than the shiesters (spelling) that run Tottscum,he calls it as he see's it & if you don't like it then tough...only thing he gets wrong (sometimes) is his timing.
About time someone called Upson out for being spineless.

At least our defence will suit that of the championship....Shcoking!

Miracle of miracles. I totally agree with the sleazy bastard. But he needs to look himself in the mirror ( an unpleasant notion to be sure ) and shoulder the majority of the blame.

But that is a broken record.

Sullivan is telling the truth, but the truth isn't always the right thing to do. When you go to you're mates wedding and the bride looks a mess, you don't tell him the truth do you!

When will the chairman learn to keep their mouths shut!

Totally agree about your last statement HF. They just don't get it and neither by the way does Avram judging by his selections.

Wow this guys motivational speaking knows no bounds - I suspect HF would run the club is a similar fashion.... terribly.

btw 14:23 it's shyster.

Candid honesty...we can't complain as we keep harping on about more honesty and here we have it. Ole big gob has got it right but is it a cloaked motivational speech or just shooting from the hip again.

Look a little deeper. Nobody who makes 6/700 million is an idiot. Quite possibly he is trying to use reverse psychology and hopes the players will prove him wrong which in turn will absolutely delight him.

Come, Come John - we all know making money doesn't mean you're clever. A point in case, HF has paid off his mortgage in full.... and he's certainly no Einstein.

Paid off four mortgages actually. But let's not split hairs.

John said...

I didn't say clever 1616 I said idiots don't make millions. Paying off a mortgage is fine as long as you don't then take out a bigger one!
