📰 WEST HAM LATEST | Staveley statement this week | Cornet termination | Soucek return close

0:00This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network. I hope you're good. I've been on a decent week. I'm, you know, kind of goes about saying, isn't it? What's up with the league? Well, we're a little bit longer anyway. As I record this, as I record this with top of the league, that is changing. I'll get it. And I'm going to be top of the league, you know, probably the end of the night. But we went on Friday. We're back up there. So, yeah, you have it. I'm like West, most West, I'm fans. I'm sure feeling pretty, pretty good today. It's been nice. Nice feeling to see, you know, three wins on the spins. Always good and just feels like we got a jet a little bit of belief into the season. It was, you know, bleak was the after what was it? Two points, you know, in three games. It, you know, and look, the form is as aren't perfect. It's not as if we're firing all cylinders. And, but the fact is we are where we are after having a slow start and still not quite playing to the level we expect to be at yet. So, you're looking at it thinking to know what if we can get things, if we start jelling and start to start purring, then I think we could be all right to season.

1:03But it's, you know, I'm enjoying the championship. I've done about you. I'm enjoying the championship. I tell you what I'm noticing. I'm liking these refs, honestly. You've got done about you, but they're far tougher. I think it's because they can't hide behind the I.R. They've got to make decisions. And I just like it. I mean, look, we're going to get crappy decisions as well. Sometimes it happens, but I'd rather that. I'd rather that just have that. That's football on it. You just moan at a ref. I'll ref you got like wrong one, then, but you just move on. I do not miss fear. I'll take off. We do get promoted. There are parts of this league. I'm going to really miss. So, I'm only six days. I'm six days games even. I'm enjoying it. Enjoy it. Interesting what you think. If you're feeling the same as me. I probably feel differently if we lose them, Friday. I'm giving out this league, but no, at the moment I'm feeling a bit alright. We need a bit of a catch up. We need a little bit of a catch up because. Games are coming thick and fast. There's lots of bits going on. It's all a bit, you know, we're playing again. Friday's Thursday, tomorrow. I mean, so much football. And then I think we play again on Tuesday in the car. And then we play again on Saturday. It's just so much football.

2:03Not that I'm complaining. I'm loving it. But. Just think we need a little bit of a catch up. See where we are. What's going on? Because there are a few things happening. And I'm going to come to man and say, again, it's been a while. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I've been thinking about, you know, what's going on? I'm going to say that one's the end. I'm going to say that one's the end. I'm going to. I'm. Max Cornie in this video. Oh, before I do. Before I do. I got. A shout out from Rob. Rob got in touch with me and said, oh, his daughter, Maisie. Was planning the bowling lounge. And when I was there on Saturday for the first time again, he said, my daughter was playing the music there. And then I was going to say, they for the time being and he said my daughter was playing music there I did obviously I didn't know it was Maisie and Very impressive and she's been booked back about they like her Westam girl. So fair play Maisie well done And let's sort of find a way to get some of your music on her or something we'll do something So yeah, and make sure you get in touch with me, but so yeah, it's really good to hear it So I wanted to give a shout out to Bob that dropped me a message about that and yeah fair play to Maisie

3:07Yeah, let's talk about Westam stuff. So the The News that we got is regarding Max Corne Max Corne I mean what a disaster sign in and I actually really feel for him Do you know main it comes across really well actually when you see him interviews and way applies himself He seems like a really decent bloat. I just don't know what's happened to him Westam It's just been a complete disaster he came in with a real Buzz about him. Do you know he did really well we signed him four years ago four years now It was in when he was at Burnley You know he was one of their best players he was I think he was I remember rightly I think he was the reason they stayed up. I mean if we were he was a key player for them scoring good goals as well. He was quick and exciting to watch. I don't know what's happened to him I really don't I know he's had injuries to be fair to him Obviously, which is a typical of Westam signing, but Just everything he's like his career is one of the cliff. You know, he's low and doesn't become well It's just been a disaster. I really feel for him. So anyway the club are in talks with him and his agent As we understand it

4:08Over a possible termination of his contract. He's his contract terminates at the end of the season Oh god at last But they try and do a bit sooner. Obviously he's not playing. He's not doing anything. We can't get him out Just just leave Westam get a get a deal or grade get rid of him and then he can go and play somewhere else because he needs to go It's just we're not going to get any money for him. It's just not like there. So I mean look It could be that we can't cut reach an agreement, but hopefully the club can So that's the news we've heard that can from extra employee again. It's not certain It's all early days at the moment, but hopefully the club can come to an agreement with the player and his agent Rip the contract up and he can move on but yeah sad really because he's you know even in preseason He was I saw him making an effort to spend time with fans and sign autographs Well, you know if they're play to him really considering the fact he's had a torrid time Westam But yeah, it's what it is I just picked up a database but I mean said that I don't like that term because Well sure, that's not the reason he's actually football. I'm sure he wants to be one because he wants to enjoy his playing football What's the do well, you know what I mean? So yeah, just a shame it's gone so bad um We've also got some good news in regards to Thomas Su-Chek Thomas Su-Chek big Tom

5:12It's training. He's back training. All right, like like training, but he's a monk. I think he's going to be Ball training soon And the feeling is that he could well be in the squad for the millwall game That's a player to have back for the millwall game. I tell you in a time of Su-Chek you know, we feel Jesus If I don't think you'd start it, it'd be on the bench But I think it'd be a boost as well going into the millwall game I've been in Thomas Su-Chek around because he's no, he would love him. Don't we? He's such a Actually great character lead. He's a batler. He you know, he's Always seems to have cut on his head for a live Lifeline for Westam and Yeah, I just it's be good having him back. I think it's going to be useful I don't you know you don't go into the team any more like that But it's going to be a big strong addition to having scores goals I think he'll do really well in the championship I think it's going to suit him very well And obviously he's one of those players that know he's his score goals. He's got big goals. He's a big moment player So be good to have him back Yes, that's good news. I'll be as I say the plan is that he was hopefully fingers and toes and he will be available for selection for the millwall game, which is going to be a tasty fair we can go into that game

6:14Off the back of another win Be interesting when it'll be very exciting Um right on to Amanda Stavley on to she's the fun now. Let's talk about Amanda Stavley um So the deadline for the shareholders to pay into um the gold family even as a gold is this Friday Is this Friday's what's that the 11th Friday and September 11th sort of just in date um and That's a significant day Because one Because of that because the share that the shares that will be done and then I think the club will then announce it It will be kind of rubber stamp to confirm to that's kind of when it will be done So it's whether they're not club or announcing straight away We don't know but one thing that's expected is that once it goes through and it's all been complete Is that a man to stavely is then going to make her intentions known It's understood the the understanding that it came from the athletic was actually was going to make a statement I'm intrigued by this because

7:18Think about it right what will the statement be I imagine it would be possibly on the lines of starting with it's a shame that we couldn't come to an agreement with Amanda stay and with finesse ago We obviously wanted to buy a 25% shares if we wasn't able to do so does possibly Will it be that she then announces that she's now walking away from my stand? I don't think she is that that's my been my feeling for a long time people know what she's saying We know I feel that way and I think it's what we're seeing reported especially with that thetic shame Thomas Um, he is confirmed that as well. He's he's definitely certainly aligned with me in terms of my fault process on it He seems to believe that there is that she's going nowhere There's a strong suggestion that there's going to be a push to sign David Sullivan shares even trips missed as well Which would take it to 51% By the way, it's still have to go through the um preemptive share held rights wherever she does so there is more complications to all of this I'm not making it sound like it's easy But do you know what I wonder? I wonder whether I'm on the stave is already done and deal

8:20Whether she's already done a deal with Sullivan It's already agreed and they're just waiting for this part to be done and then they announcement because why would you make an announcement? What does she need to announce? Other than as I said, oh, I'm ashamed. I couldn't buy the gold turn shed Oh, she could say she's walking away from Westam, but you're not going to say in a statement. Are you It's imagine that she hasn't gotten agreement with Westam or with David Sullivan or whatever You're not going to make an announcement and say I'm going to now try and buy some more shares Why would you wouldn't announce that you just go and do it? So I do wonder Spidey senses they're tingling. I don't know. Maybe that I'm wrong. I'm interested to know what you thought your thoughts are on it but um, I've got us feeling that Something could be happening there something could have happened or I mean, I'm really intrigued. I think this is very big so If a man is stavely Makes her intentions known that she's coming to buy Westam shares. She's done an agreement or whatever it may be Or not or she walking away whatever the situation is that a man of the stavely statement is massive for Westam's future Because what it would determine is whether she's going to get into this club and be she's going to be running it with Daniel Kretinsky or with Daniel Kretinsky to be running the show

9:26I believe David Sullivan's going to certainly shares. I think he will sell eventually. I think he's going to demand a lot of money I think he's demanding Premier League weight, you know the Premier League valuation He's already said that but I don't know if something tells me that Man's stave is more than aware of that and no doubt as public well I would be thinking that if she's very serious that these conversations will be where it underway Which does lead me to believe this is statement coming? I wonder if it's going to include something on the lines of I've actually already made an agreement So this could be a really big week for Westam. Well, it is a big week for Westam But it depends on what you want to happen I want a man staving in the club. I've made that clear. I think she'd be great for us And I'd be I'm hopeful of it, but that's that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying But so Friday is a big day That will be when we see the rubber stamp in the sale of the gold family shares And that'll be done and then we anticipate there will be an announcement It will be and I'm sure there be an announcer from the club It'd be interesting to see what Dan who crit in six are announced It's Dan who crit in six are going to announce something about Man's stave

10:27I just don't know we just don't know it's very difficult to read this situation I don't think people might say well you would have heard about it What we did we didn't even hear about Sullivan by more shares we didn't know about crit in six you got to 46% That was never what was being reported by anyone So what's to say that agreements haven't been done? I don't know I don't know I'm You know, I'm intrigued I'm not going to say I'm confident that would be wrong But I'm certainly very intrigued and I'm feeling hopeful Fingers crossed because we need certainty and we need this club needs to go forward And we really need Sullivan out of it and fingers crossed we are getting closer to it I feel like we are I feel like we are And hopefully this week is going to be a big step forward Anyway, that's me I'll call up with a few bits and pieces I will be back of course tomorrow We'll do Sure some news or we'll build up into the rexam game Which I'm looking forward to And yeah take it from there Anyway have a good one, enjoy your evening I'll catch you later on

11:27Come on you irons
