There are no plans to sell the club although the co owners would both welcome further investors in the club to take it on to the next level.

Following the publication of the accounts to May 2015 where the club showed a profit David Gold declared himself happy and claimed the future was in good hands.

He told ClaretandHugh: “I’ve said many times that we have no desire to sell. The  children of the two families are all major fans of West ham United.

“My daughter Vanessa (pictured left)  would sooner come with me to Watford last weekend than go out with the friends and the Sullivan boys passion is well know.

“Yes we would like more investment nothing has changed on that front but there is no way I would want a a buy-out.”
