West Ham

[East Kent Saint]

Sullivan off as well as Brady , much speculation to ensue !  

[Badger]

Serious historic allegations mentioned.

Hard to believe that of a man of his integrity who made his millions in the ‘adult entertainment’ industry. But perhaps the scandal will bring the dildodome stadium crashing down around him.

Wonder if Gibbo will look to start another moral crusade.

Not sure this will have that much effect on West Ham though. Isn’t the real power there with the Czech bloke (owns the Post Office), rather than Sullivan?

I assume years ago he watched some training within 3 days of a game?

It’s always the ones you least expect.

It won't be anything as bad as that

I've heard bushes were involved.

Lots of unknowns with them for next season. 

West Ham fan i know is convinced they'll struggle initially as lots of players will leave / come in and typical for them to do business late in the window (same for all teams though) , could be like us last year where the team starting the season will look quite different come September. 

Should be a couple of good games against them, remember them coming up with us in 2012, I dont really enjoy visiting the Taxpayer funded Olympic Stadium but expect they'll at least give us a 3000 allocation unlike many other Championship sides, can't see them filling 60,000 regularly.

To do with his 1980's porn empire, sexual assault and manipulation. Monday night Panorama.

Looks like Dragan has started his integrity taskforce for the EFL!

Years and years of super injunctions have finally run out

Not surprisingly Millwall fans have some interesting and controversial takes on it.

I seem to have a vague recollection of some kind of controversy in one of those games that led to a bit of needle in the return match later in the season.

Can anyone remember what that was? Or have I just made that up?

Matt Taylor red card in the game at Upton Park?

Not sure about that, I think Sullivan is majority owner and the speculation is that his kids will now take up a greater role in management. Eitherway, it's a potential limbo at the top of the club during a critical period.

I’m sure Barrenness Brady knew what was coming and got the hell out of there!

Reading Champions, after beating us in a key game at SMS! West Ham up in the playoffs!

I missed the Boris mention the first time, although on re-reading it this seemed reference to how Karen Brady got her title. There is also the question of how the stadium was taken by West Ham at a time he was mayor of course.

Brady’s father was a Director of Skatesmouth at one point as well. Another fine upstanding member of the porn community.

When you say “he does like a blonde”, did you mean Boris himself, or Sullivan perhaps using Boris as a centre-spread ?
