Jack recently got tickets for my dad and me to a game. When I shared our situation with him, he responded kindly. His generous contributions to charities and support for those facing challenges often go unnoticed. Top man ⚒️

[@barrygyles2211]

His father is doing a great job at making a pigs ear out of a silk purse.If Jack loves West Ham....tell your father to sell up,we are not good to watch and theres a good chance we could go down.

You’re the dickheads who hounded David Moyes out…

[@TommyIsANationalHero]

Promised European football 🤔 which was achieved. My memory recalls a promise of Champions League. When you said "KB is an unbelievable business woman" I turned off. #COYI

[@mick-nardini]

Has the green mould on the stadium been allowed to accumulate so it ties in with the quickbooks logo?

[@Lozz-Arsenal]

Enjoyed this dodge . Love football in general but love hearing some history of other clubs . Up The Arsenal

[@brawrecords]

Top notch interview. Very impressed by the lad.

[@chrisharris5497]

Personally I couldn't bear to be in a room with any of them whether he's a nice lad or not. He could be the nicest lad in the world but the way his old man runs the club I've loved to close to 50 years, along with the cheap classless way he conducts himself it's going to make his kids targets unfortunately.

[@WestHamPaul1973]

Well said mate. Sold down the river. Not mentioning the deals involved selling UP.

[@Oddly1970]

2 bitter jealous spammers 😂

[@WestHamPaul1973]

​@Oddly1970 A grown man calling us spammers! 😂 not sure which is worse really.

[@alovetobereckoned8129]

​@@WestHamPaul1973How could he be so unfased by our ground getting sold, bulldozed and built over?

[@dh7493]

But we're in a much better place than we've ever been in terms of challenging, eh. We've won a European trophy!

[@adamlevett4073]

Bring back concession

[@Sp1NNN023]

The only thing i like about Sullivan is his kids. They seem like they genuinely like the club.

[@rolling8358]

Let's roll all the way back to the start.

[@Mark72121]

l understand the fans frustration at his father, but you have to give credit where it is due, Jack comes across as a very decent young man. l get why people may think being born to rich parents is a privilege, but can also be alot of pressure to live up too and a negative, l respect he is trying to make his own way in life with his business's, people will say the money is given, but you still have to make it work. He obviously loves the club and that is what matters to me. l have been very critical of the board in the past, l trade the stockmarket for a living and understand the difficult decisions that need to be made on the business side of things, but Jack clearly has a decent grasp of the issues and came across very well to me. There is bound to me resentment with our start to the season, but the team needs time, this was always going to be a difficult period.

[@Monty-xs7hp]

I’ve never understood why the fans are so unhappy with the owners. West Ham fans seem to have short memories with what the previous owners did to our club. I reckon they’ve done a great job, you don’t see Arsenal and Spurs fans harping on about their old grounds like West Ham fans. Moving too a 60k ground is a no brainer for me. COYI

[@duckjive1]

Arsenal & Spurs own their grounds.Their stadiums are far better quality &in Spurs case generate ten times more money

[@Monty-xs7hp]

@@duckjive1 we as good as own our ground we have 90 odd year lease with a brilliant deal.

[@Monty-xs7hp]

@@duckjive1 do you remember what the previous owners did to our club?

[@billybrowne8013]

Fair play Jack for going on! COYI

[@c-1802]

Fair play to Jack, not his fault he was born into wealth but seems keen to do his bit and not be one of the spoilt millionaire kids who just jetset around the planet taking pouting selfies.

[@nimedave]

I’m not a football fan but know how passionate the Hammers are, so I took this interview at face value. I think he comes across well and is clearly passionate about carving his own future. It’s hard for kids born into this orbit where they are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. If they do nothing or just bounce around then they are accused of being lazy gobshites living off dad’s money. If they make a success of something then they are told it is all because of the connections and wealth the family have. It’s a no win situation. Similarly for when top players kids take to the pitch. He isn’t responsible for what his dad and the board have done over the years so let’s just all wish him luck with his various endeavours. He seemed genuinely energised by the success of the women’s game, and his other projects going on.

[@LenBrown-y4w]

Great show dodge coyi

[@macca9770]

More interested to know why his old man lent David ‘Longfella’ Hunt £1m. What does/did Hunt have on old man Sullivan?

[@andiharper4498]

Okay, Jack is not the full eloquent article....but there is a massive improvement, he is far more articulate.

[@garymarcks]

Since the 2018/2019 season, over £450 million spent?? No further forward. The problems are at the top

[@Monty-xs7hp]

I dunno about that before Gold and Sullivan took over we were a yo-yo club

[@davidmurdoch3305]

He's a credit to himself and his parents. Obviously, he's blessed to be born into wealth but, thereafter, he's worked hard, earned his position, embraced his dyslexia and, comes across as a genuine, bright-minded man. Great interview 👍🏻

[@samfrancisss]

Got a lot of respect for Jack, but I will never forgive his father, David Gold and Brady for selling Upton Park. The decision was financially motivated and nothing else, and we as fans endured years of constant lies defending the move. I used to go home and away every week but stopped going two years following the move (which is probably what they want, as I'm not a tourist that will spend hundreds in the club shop) and started following my local non league team instead as that bowl is the worst place ive ever been to see a game of football and is nothing like the West Ham I fell in love with as a kid.

[@garyguest1885]

I’m a Millwall fan but I totally agree with you mate… 🦁COYL

[@enquirer2.0]

Some of the comments 😬🙈 Not many of my West Ham pals happy with the ownership but good luck to the lad you cant help being born into wealth

[@Monty-xs7hp]

They have very short memories and what happened with the previous regime

[@Mooooooof]

Talk about how shit our tax payer stadium is

Sullivans are the problem of West Ham 💯 Nice lad but he is his dad's speaker

Agree he’s a lovely lad, very humble and has got his head screwed on 👍🏼⚒️

[@jekylthorn8969]

Tell your Dad to sell and do us all a favour.

[@Monty-xs7hp]

Can they sell it to some dodgy Icelandic businessmen. West Ham fans have a very short memory. Before Gold and Sullivan took over nobody wanted to touch us with a barge poll. I remember we were paying Ljumberg and a few other crap players massive wages.

[@jekylthorn8969]

@@Monty-xs7hp ludicrous comment. I didn't say sell us to anyone dodgy. Why is it that with you people any change is automatically for the worse and wanting improvement is off limits? Mind your own business.

[@Monty-xs7hp]

@@jekylthorn8969 the point is Sullivan and Gold had taken us over when we were close to financial ruin. Amazing how some fans have such short memories. We have improved, we haven’t been relegated for years and have won a trophy. We also have nearly doubled our capacity of fans coming to watch every week

[@jekylthorn8969]

@@Monty-xs7hp that was due to the banking crisis. West Ham were not ruined, the Icelanders were. West Ham had billions in playing assets. They got us cheap and have been cheap ever since. Where is the champions league football they promise? We should never have left the Boleyn.

[@Monty-xs7hp]

@@jekylthorn8969 nothing is a guarantee in football. I can’t honestly remember a better time to be a West Ham fan. You’re going on like we won multiple trophies before they turned up. You do realise the Icelandic owner went to prison? He was dodgy as fcuk

[@dh7493]

Nostalgia don't win you trophies. Yeah, its sad the old ground has gone but things evolve and progress, as we have.

[@indiewaynee]

Keep going on about fans experience. You won't have any fucking fans soon with the prices

Don’t relate to him whatsoever to my club ⚒️

West Ham will finish 9th or 10th
