Just voted for Intermarket. I followed Stu's logic and this seemed to be the least pile of **** option given that we know absolutely f*** all about them.
Ignorance is bliss!

I cant believe how long this ownership malarky is going on for. Can somebody just buy us and get on with it.
In an ideal world i'd like a cockney consortium in charge with Russell Brand as chairman. He'd look good in a Motson style fur coat and a cigar in his gob.
Im joking of course.

Typical hippy veggie answer.Hambrosia Stu wrote:I voted Intermarket. No solid reason-maybe the lesser of all evils, though that's going a tad far
Where's the category for, 'The whole lot to implode and leave us well and truly rogered'? That'll get my vote everytime.

Because there are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.

Why is the pull of Intermarket so strong for so many on here? Out of all of the people listed they clearly are the group that so little is known about.

Re: West Ham United FC Ownership Poll (13/01/10)
I voted for them as they are the ones who could - potentially - take us the furthest foward. G&S won't invest a lot of money in new transfers and the Italien seems similar. TF is borrowing money, so I can't see him putting a lot of money into the club to move us foward. Whereas we don't know who is behind Intermarket and so they could have bigger potential to fund new and better players.hongkonghammer wrote:Why is the pull of Intermarket so strong for so many on here?

Re: West Ham United FC Ownership Poll (13/01/10)
there should be a "dont know enough about the buyers but one of you will do" option as i cant be arsed to read through 1000+ pages of the west ham for sale thread to find out the pros / cons of each buyer. Or how about "terry brown" surely thats a more deserving option than "cb holdings".

Gold & Sullivan, they appear to be unpopular for the heinous crime of making some dough out of Birmingham City.
They made money out of Birmingham because they improved the club. If they do the same to us I would be more than happy.
What do we really know about the others? Not a lot and the advantage of having British owners is that you can lean on them easier if things aren't to the fans liking. Otherwise we'll end up in the same state as we are in now, as fans we have little leverage with any owner but foreigners make it far, far harder to get anywhere.

i dont care who ends up buying the club........just give us honest stability and a chance to compete occassionly (sp) ?
no bs....no champs league in 4 yrs....( it wont happen)
