That is what they usually say when they take over. 100m is a huge debt for a small club like West Ham. Gold & Sullivan are not exactly gentlemen are they? Everything will be from the back of the lorry now at West Ham. So I predict a fire sale if not now, will be soon at the end of the season if they don't survive the PL.

No.
How many of these proclamations of a 'fire sale' actually pan out?
Who did we buy from the Valencia fire sale again?

I'd prefer Carlton Cole to Kenwyne Jones.

"Everything will be from the back of the lorry now at West Ham."
What does that mean? Cheap?
[/quote]
The phrase "off the back of a lorry" implies stolen goods*.
Which are by definition, cheaper than those bought in shops.
*or possibly imported illegally. But usually it means nicked.

The "Two Davids" are West Ham fans and want the best for the club.
I hardly think they're going to run it into the ground.
[/quote]
Which is the point of them buying it. Gold was born a few hundred yards away , it's in their blood.
They are sharp enough and did a good job at Brum.
I like West Ham, I like Zola, I hope they do well, as for Gold and Sullivan, well, they are what they are.

The Icelanders did run the club into the ground, they owe £40 million in transfer fees to other clubs and at the same time aren't owed a single penny in transfer themselves. Curbishley fucked up seriously in giving big contracts to the likes of Ljunberg, Dyer, Neill etc

It was horribly obvious to everyone that they were on course for ruin by buying past-it, injury prone and/or average players on stratospheric wages. It was almost as if Curbs and the Eggman *wanted* to ruin the club.

Ah I see.. Thanks.
Examples of a Firesale --> Leeds, Portsmouth.
[/quote]
I don't know about Firesale but Niko Kranjaer for 2.5million was a bargain.
[/quote]
I was amazed he left so cheaply in the summer. In was towards the end of the window and we should have been all over it.
We spent close to that on the Greek!

None of their top players will be sold according to yesterdays press conference. If the takeover hadn't been completed, then they'd of needed to raise £8m in this window and then another £12m in the summer (through player sales). The previous owners (Eggman) had allready borrowed against next seasons season tickets and their shirt sponsorship deal.
They want the Olympic stadium as well.

Valon Behrami is a decent player.
Would take Noble and get rid of Lucas.
[/quote]
Behrami is good enough for West Ham, but not Liverpool.
And while Noble would likely be an improvement on Lucas, it would merely be a continuation of Rafa's (unsuccessful) 'incremental' improvement strategy. I'd rather we signed someone of genuine class who the opposition would fear.

Noble's playing in a poor team and has practically had to carry them single-handed in some games. When I've seen him he's been quite a bit more dangerous than Lucas going forward and at least as good at the defensive grafting. IMO he'd blossom in a better side, so I'd certainly be interested if he became available.
Disagree. Behrami is easily good enough for us.. I like him.
