The Czech Billionaire acquired 27% of the Hammers just under two weeks ago and he is now the club’s second largest shareholder.

The West Ham fans are excited about what the future may hold with Kretinsky’s net worth believed to be somewhere in the range of £3-4 billion.

Hopefully the Hammers can spend more freely in January now than they otherwise would have been able to, had Kretinsky not invested.

Moyes opens up on meeting new West Ham investor Kretinsky

The Scot met the Czech billionaire after our dramatic 3-2 win over Liverpool 13 days ago.

What a time for Kretinsky to see the Hammers in action for the first time!

And Moyes shared with Football.London what his first impressions of the new West Ham board member were:

“It’s great we got a new coffee machine the other day! I had a chance to meet Daniel after Liverpool he seems a very charming fella and is a really good addition to the board and I am looking forward to working with him. It looks and feels like a good move for West Ham and we are looking forward to him having an impact and moving forward.”

Let’s hope that Kretinsky is ready to plough some real money into the club.

The early consensus is that his funds will be used to reduce our outstanding debt.

That’s not a bad thing, and should enable us to be more active in the transfer windows over the next few years.
