This morning, a senior club insider denied a new West Ham takeover article made by an Ex-West Ham employee.

Former Hammers scout Mick Brown is quoted as saying West Ham joint Chairman David Sullivan is unhappy with his position at the club and that a full takeover by Daniel Kretinksy and his Czech partners is still very much on the cards.

The senior club source who spoke to Claret and Hugh exclusively this afternoon claims the former scout in question has never talked to David Sullivan and the story is untrue.

Although Jack Sullivan recently confirmed that Daniel Kretinsky interviewed Tim Steidten before his appointment the Czech business billionaire takes a completely hands-off approach at West Ham, as he is chairman of Sparta Prague and wants to avoid any claims of influence should Sparta Prague and West Ham find themselves in the same European competition.

Kretinsky owns over one hundred businesses and focuses most of his time on those including the takeover of Royal Mail. He has appointed his trusted advisors to West Ham boards to look after his investment.

    Sean with all due respect. Sullivan isn’t going to tell you about any takeover. He never told you about kretinsky initially investing into the club. In fact you were vehemently denying it on twitter. In arguments with poplar tales . He told you exactly exactly what was happening. You countered I would know . You didn’t.
