Whilst West Ham co-chairmen David Gold and David Sullivan are not looking to sell West Ham United, they would welcome new investors into the club in order to get rid of some debts.
This is according to Jacqueline Gold, David’s daughter, who is estimated to be the 16th richest woman in Great Britain.
Things are looking bright at West Ham. On the field, the team are playing well under the management of Slaven Bilic with star players like Dimitri Payet lighting up the Premier League.
Off the field, the Hammers are set to relocate to the Olympic Stadium in a very financially beneficial move that sees them pay a relatively low cost to play in front of 60,000 every week.
The relocation, added to the team potentially playing in Europe next season, mean the value of the club is on the up, but Gold insists that her father and his business partner have no intentions of selling up.
Speaking to City AM, as reported by the Evening Standard, she said:
I know that David Sullivan and my father David Gold absolutely love West Ham. I am sure that they would welcome investment but they absolutely love this club and I have never heard of any plans to be selling it off. We might sell a minority shareholding to clear our debts, but in all probability, our kids will take over from us. We love West Ham, we’re not going anywhere.
