Already having spent fortunes on famous 'names' this summer, the cocky Hammers are now buying four more senior players:
After years of relative tightness much to their fans anger, Gold & Sullivan are going for PL glory big time. Famine to feast.
That's my view, it's proven that money and table position do highly correlate, with exceptions each season of course.
But as an Albion fan, I'm hoping that for some of these spending spree clubs, the season on the pitch doesn't match their cheque book approach.
Stains, Everton, Leicester and West Ham are all hoping to buy their 'rightful place' as top half throughout the season and never again in a relegation dogfight.
Money can work, but the law of averages says it won't for all four clubs. For the Albion's sake and because it'll be funny, I hope...
Yes, sure, per Companies House.
Gold & Sullivan have WHU paying back the capital on their loans to club, down to £45m, at the same time paying themselves interest at 4% to 6%. No new pumped into the club for several seasons now. The club made a huge profit in the last reported year 2016/17...
After years of relatively tightness, even at the larger Olympic Stadium, Gold and Sullivan are suddenly going 'bananas' on fees and high wages.
