Fans of West Ham United have been discussing their thoughts on a takeover after rumours of a Red Bull ownership surfaced.

After the link between the Hammers and Red Bull initially surfaced in 2016 (per The Independent), speculation re-emerged from Football Insider in February. This sparked a discussion among Irons fans on Twitter. (via @WHUFCFZ).

To kick off this quiz on the goings-on with the Hammers last week, which Championship player revealed that he had been made aware of interest from the Irons by his agent?

If West Ham were guaranteed Champions League football, would you mind a takeover and being re-named Red Bull West Ham?

Yes, that would be awful

No, long as we're winning

However, while fans discussed the possibility of a Red Bull takeover, one of the club’s owners, David Gold, hit out at the rumours via an interview with Claret and Hugh recently by labelling any supposed interest a “complete fabrication”.

After @WHUFCFZ posted their thoughts on a Red Bull takeover, though, the London Stadium faithful continued having their say on the matter.

What do we think?

As can be seen in the responses from West Ham fans, while there were a few mutterings of agreement, the majority of supporters would not like to see Red Bull or a similar company take over the Hammers.

However, with Gold having publicly stated that the rumours are a “complete fabrication” anyway (per Claret and Hugh), any takeover in the immediate future seems unlikely.
