In-the-know podcaster @ExWHUemployee has recently made a claim regarding West Ham United’s co-owners David Gold and David Sullivan.
It has recently been claimed by The Sun that two offers have been made by a US-based consortium to purchase the Hammers; the first totalling £350m and the second a larger figure of £400m.
It is stated that both of these offers were made last month and both were rejected as Sullivan values the Irons at ‘far higher‘ than what is on the table.
However, the report does not reveal how much the West Ham co-owner actually believes the London Stadium outfit is worth.
So, in the latest episode of The West Ham Way Podcast, @ExWHUemployee made a claim regarding the club’s owners’ willingness to sell the Irons.
He said: “In a nutshell, what I’m trying to say is the board are more willing to listen to offers – they have entertained email offers and have said what they would sell for.
“That’s massive news. West Ham fans want me to put positive news out today; if you’re an anti-board person, that is positive news, because it shows that they are prepared to listen to the right offer.
“I can also categorically say that the board have been affected by the protests, have been affected by the negativity, are upset by how West Ham fans view them.
“So, Hammers United and equivalents, GSB Out, are having the desired impact for those parties.”
TIF Thoughts…
As can be seen in what the in-the-know podcaster had to say, he believes that the co-owners are willing to listen to offers for the Hammers now and they have been affected by recent protests.
Do you think a possible buyer would pay more than £400m for West Ham?
No, we're not worth it
Yes, I think they would
So, with West Ham’s owners seemingly having a valuation of the club in mind, which is a sum greater than £400m, it remains to be seen if any potential buyer would be willing to offer enough.
