West Ham have had the best season they’ve had in a generation but if you want to know why the ‘have nots’ cannot compete with the Billionaire owner clubs you just need to look at West Ham’s subs today:
Yarmolenko, Ogbonna, Bowen.
In comparison,
Man Utd’s subs today:
Cavani, Mata, Matic.
Man City’s subs yesterday:
Mahrez, Gundogan, Foden
Chelsea’s subs yesterday:
Havertz, Abraham, Jorginho
Liverpool subs yesterday:
Firmino, Shaquiri, Oxlade Chamberlain
I’m over the moon at an unbelievable WHU season but kinda glad that we will not be qualifying for the Champions League as we just don’t have the squad for it, like other teams.

Barely.
Certainly West Ham are not in the Top 12 list of Premier League clubs with the richest owners shown here: https://www.goal.com/en/news/richest-pr ... qwo72ecmhz
Hence my point that we (and certain other Prem clubs) can’t compete unless another fool with more money than sense comes onboard.

Our club's owners are only millionaires (and not even that some of them). Excuse me if I don't feel too sorry for you. We've yet to trouble the Championship, let alone Premiership though, although have beaten teams at both levels.
I've met David Gold, and family, on a number of occasions. Very decent family. Never met David Sullivan though.

Not asking for sympathy but you should be concerned for teams like yourselves that do not have a multi billionaire behind them. That seems to be the only way that teams in the Premier League can compete now.

As I said we aren't at that level (yet) anyway.

As a Newcastle supporter I can tell you that it doesn't matter how much money an owner has if he isn't prepared to invest any of it in the club...

Re: A team of 11. A squad of 25.
The vast majority of fans know that the sugar daddy and country-owned clubs owe all of their success to financial doping.
Deep down even their own fans know that success has been bought by dodgy means. Even Sky Sports News are taking the mickey, link below to its twitter account shortly after Manchester City won the Premier League title last night:
"Dozens of #MCFC fans gathered outside the Etihad Stadium last night to celebrate their Premier League title!"
https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews/status/1392432473900978180
Can you imagine a non-sugar daddy / country-owned club having so few fans turn up at the stadium on the night when they won the league?
Meanwhile Manchester United (my team, and I'm a shareholder) is one of the few billionaire-owned clubs whose owners have taken out far more than they've ever put in. If we're ever bought by a country the media will go into full ABU foaming at the mouth mode, bombarding us with articles about how wrong it is for countries to own teams and wreck the competition by massively overspending. The sort of article that we should be seeing about Citeh and PSG on a regular basis, but don't.
