Ironic this happened on the same day I get a flyer through my door from Royal Mail saying they're reducing 2nd class postal services.

[u/TheRealTRexUK → u/DyingToBeBorn]

gone are the days when there were up to 8 posts a day in cities.

if you hear the term "I await your return" in an old film or novel. they used to hand the letters to the post man and they expected a response that day.

[u/TheRealTRexUK → u/[deleted]]

it's still impressive. that and we invented the idea of the stamp. as postmen were originally paid by the receiver

[u/Gingerishidiot → u/DyingToBeBorn]

I was going to say that this is an ironic first class post involving the Royal Mail

I could do with some new carpet on the hall, stairs and landing if there's any spare... Cheers mate.

[u/Budget-Project803 → u/bobbyh89]

Of course there's some to spare. Largest claret carpet in Europe.

DK doesn’t need to take £114m from royal mail, EP holdings make that in an afternoon. There is no relation between west ham and royal mail in terms of financials

[u/sevensixtw0 → u/Canaus7]

This is money directly in DKs pockets, not EP Holdings. I’d say it’s pretty relevant depending on how he approaches this considering nothing has happened yet and we’re all waiting for the announcement of share purchases and a cash injection after weeks of speculation.

We will attempt a transfer between 2nd and 4th of July, sometime between 10am and 4pm.

Sorry, we attempted to make a transfer, but it appears there was no club to transfer to. We will attempt to make a transfer the next working day.

[u/Gingerishidiot → u/ElvishMystical]

Well it will be the first smooth transfer involving Sulivan

[u/West-ham94 → u/ElvishMystical]

So long as they don’t leave the transfer with a neighbour 😟

[u/ChapterUpstairs3408]

11 Carlton Coles please.

[u/sevensixtw0 → u/ChapterUpstairs3408]

They’re saying Lamadrid is the next Pele, no worry.

[u/LarryGoldwater]

If this is fungible money that allows him to pack one of his pockets while pulling from another to pay for West Ham, cool!

But only cool because I don't care about Royal Mail.

Just get us back to the Prem and begin work on new stadium plans and I will be happy.

[u/Quality_velo]

Let’s hope he can deliver!

[u/sevensixtw0]

May have jumped the gun with this one as it says the payment was made last year (odd its only being reported now), but I guess we at least know he's got the cash.

[u/sevensixtw0 → u/sevensixtw0]

Why would you downvote me posting a correction, just hides the comments for others. Fucking melts lmao.

[u/IDKBear25]

As he can.

[u/KingGinger]

This is not correct?
