Two more directors appointed to West Ham

The Irons have today appointed two more directors to West Ham United Football Ltd

The announcement on Companies House show that 43-year-old Daniel Cunningham and 83-year Charlie Cross are now directors joining David Sullivan Junior and Emma Benton Hughes who were appointed yesterday.

Financier Cunningham (pictured centre above with Billy Bonds and Sir Trevor Brooking) is married to David Gold’s daughter Jacqueline Gold and a massive West Ham fan while retiree Charlie Cross (pictured below) is a childhood friend of David Gold.

David Sullivan who owns 51% of shares added two of representatives yesterday and now David Gold who owns 35% of the shares has added his two people.

The four directors will join CFO Andrew Mollet, Vice-Chairman Karren Brady, 10% shareholder Tripp Smith, David Gold, David Sullivan and Executive Director of marketing and communications Tara Warren on the board.

The move to enlarge the West Ham operational board is seen as increasing representation of the two major shareholders on the board and makes it less likely that a take over will occur in the near future.

Just another sneaky way of pulling more money out the club. Using family and friends who have nothing to do with football

  It’s their ball – they choose who plays. Nothing to do with sneaking out money. Everything to do with protecting their investments and looking after the club.
  In my opinion. But I follow the team on the pitch and not the one in the boardroom.

Maybe giving mates and family a taste of the boardroom before selling up? Most of the appointments seem completely ridiculous.

Only 3 comments on this thread, yet 16 on the equivalent Sully one? No surprise I suppose, after the cringy defence of Gold back in September of last year:

  That’s t he trouble you see – you believe you are so right. We don’t. We have no reason to apologise for a piece about DG – he is not the problem. I am the resurrection? Stuck in the past it seems to me. Move on pal. Why the laughing emojis. Everything sent has been published even your nonsense. You are simpluy in a self righteous minority.

Looks like they are putting people in place to carry forward their wishes after they die. Gold and Sullivan aren’t getting any younger.
