Needs a space between each one mate. Just makes it easier to read (for me and I know a few others have mentioned it on other people’s posts).

Someone should ask her about this.
Overview of Financial Losses
The London Stadium, home to West Ham United, continues to represent a significant financial challenge for the capital’s taxpayers, as revealed in the latest accounts from the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC). Despite efforts to mitigate losses by hosting concerts and other events, the stadium’s owner, E20 Stadium LLP, reported a staggering loss of £20.9 million in the financial year ending May 31, 2024. According to The Times.
Costs Versus Income: An Imbalance
The financial report highlights the disparity between the costs of maintaining the stadium and the income generated. Notably, West Ham United pays a relatively modest rent of £3.6 million per season, which covers none of the stadium’s upkeep costs such as heating, cleaning, or maintenance. This situation is compounded by the fact that West Ham retains all ticket revenues and a portion of the catering income, further skewing the financial equation in favour of the club.

On top of.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has ordered an investigation into the cost of converting the Olympic Stadium into West Ham's new home. The move comes as it was revealed the conversion costs have jumped by another £51m to £323m from £272m. Balfour Beatty was in charge of converting the stadium under a £190m contract.
And this is exactly why club Execs shouldn't have a vote on PSR rules as it allows for a conflict of interest. The rules should be drafted by independent financial experts and take debt into consideration, instead of having the primary aim of 'unlawfully' restricting investment.View attachment 134862
Premier League rivals West Ham and Manchester City have enjoyed a close bond for nearly four decades but now it’s in jeopardy.
Karen Brady: “Manchester City versus the Premier League feels like a boxing match, where at the end of the final round both fighters put their hands up claiming the victory,” Brady said.
“If the judges of this heavyweight bout were the public, then City would be clear winners. They not only have the world’s best team on the pitch but also have the best off it too
“The Prem needs a financial system to ensure that football is, remains and will always be competitive. The undiminished competitiveness of the Premier League is the envy of every other foreign league and club and the reason why our top-flight is the best in the world.
“No one wants it to become a competition between too few clubs, usually by the rich ones who can afford multiple multi-million transfer fees and top wages.
“So next week clubs have to agree to make the necessary changes to the APT rules to address the Tribunal’s concerns.
“This requires 14 votes — at least 14 clubs have to agree — or the whole system is thrown into chaos…
“It needs to be so that the system can continue to be effective.
“We must stop clubs spending whatever they like to get an unbeatable team and create an uncompetitive league.”
It’s fair to say Hammers vice-chair Karren Brady is not the most popular individual among the club’s fans.
One look at social media shows many West Ham fans making it clear to their Man City counterparts that Brady doesn’t speak for them.
Opinion: What the actual fuck!
"The Prem needs a financial system to ensure that football is, remains and will always be competitive."
Has Brady looked at the PL net spend league over the last 10 years? With braindead executives like this in boardrooms up & down the UK, is it any wonder the PL finds itself up to the neck in dudu?

Fuckin' 'ell - I bet you're a scream at the literary luncheon.Needs a space between each one mate. Just makes it easier to read (for me and I know a few others have mentioned it on other people’s posts).
Fanny C was a malign ****.The nation heard it as “I hope all your doughnuts turn out like fannies.”
Although he clearly meant “I hope all your doughnuts turn out like Fanny’s.” (As in Craddock).
Everyone knew their place before city came along. City showed clubs that went below the radar and lost years competing due to bad ownership that one day you could rise again and achieve success. The league is all about the status quo.With the sheer irony being, that were not the club that need their spending curbed.
You could argue that the team with the highest level of debt, shouldn't also have the largest net spend to go alongside it.
United have been able to 'spend the money they're generating' and yet that money is somehow different to the money we've got from winning 7 of the last 8 league titles, as well as numerous domestic cups and the champions league.
Mad that clubs like West Ham think that City are the problem.
I think the Government are holding a big conference this week aimed at getting more foreign investment into the Country, because we as a Country need the investment.Could you imagine if this happened in any other businesses in this country there would be not many companies posting any profits
It doesn't sound like fair market value though, perhaps it needs looking into :)Fuck me they got a belting deal compared to ours
Surely fans of other clubs can see this?Everyone knew their place before city came along. City showed clubs that went below the radar and lost years competing due to bad ownership that one day you could rise again and achieve success. The league is all about the status quo.
1-4 Rags,Liverpool, arse, chavs/spurs
The rest make up mid table and relegation and sell their best players season after season. Now fans ask why do we have to sell? We want to compete and that means spending money they don’t want to spend.
We shook the foundations and as a result became the nemesis of any club who knew their place and didn’t need to worry about competing as long as the illusion of fair competition could be peddled to the mass football brain dead horde.
West ham know their place. As do Brighton, wolves, Brentford et al.
Mansour, Khaldoon, Txiki,Soriano and the main man Pep is what they were not prepared for. We gave the latter a blank canvas and his did the rest.
