“Desperately trying” | Awful news as West Ham’s takeover hopes squashed

Any hopes that West Ham fans had of their club being subject to a massive financial takeover have been all but crushed.

It’s no secret that West Ham fans aren’t particularly fond of their current owners. While the large majority of the criticism fans have is fair, there’s no denying things could be a lot worse. One thing the board are extremely good at is steering the club away from any sort of financial trouble.

On paper, that’s something football fans should wish for every club and that is why the new Labour government is keen on introducing an independent football regulator.

Unfortunately though, it could spell bad news for any Hammer who has been holding out hope of a big financial takeover as it will make it incredibly difficult for any mega rich foreign owner to purchase the club, according to Claret and Hugh.

On top of this, the Irons have failed to attract much interest in the Gold estate’s shares that Karen Brady has been desperately trying to sell.

Many have seen Daniel Kretinsky has their only real hope of a buyout, but his recent acquisition of Royal Mail makes it unlikely that this will happen, not to mention the fact he’s not really shown any concrete interest in purchasing anymore than the 27% he currently owns.

In fairness, a lot of the hate has died down as of late, but if the board don’t properly back Julen Lopetegui and Tim Steidten this Summer then they should expect a lot of hostility from an infuriated East London faithful.
