West Ham United’s board includes not one, not two, but THREE billionaires.
Three
BILLION
AIRES
That’s nine zero’s
£1,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣
And under Premier League financial regulations, shareholders are allowed to inject up to £100m of their own money over a three-year period.
That’s six zero’s after the one hundred
£100,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣
That’s not a loophole, not dodgy accounting, it’s literally how the system is designed to work.
So when people talk about “necessary borrowing” and “tight finances,” let’s be honest about what that really means.
💰 This borrowing wasn’t inevitable.
💰 This wasn’t forced on the club.
💰 This was a choice.
Had they chosen to put their own money in, money they absolutely have, much of this debt simply wouldn’t exist.
Instead, the club borrows, Interest gets paid, Risk goes up.
And fans are told to accept it as unavoidable reality.
Funny how “prudence” always seems to mean protecting billionaire wealth while the club carries the burden.
