The stance of David Sullivan and Daniel Kretinsky on buying the Gold family’s West Ham shares after today’s official announcement has been revealed.

There have been question marks over what would happen to the Gold family shares in West Ham since the tragic passing of former Hammers co-owner David Gold and his daughter Jacqueline.

But today, Vanessa Gold – daughter to David and sister to Jacqueline – announced she may consider putting a proportion of their West Ham shares up for sale.

In a statement on the club’s official website, West Ham joint-chair Vanessa said: “I would consider selling a proportion of our shares to the right partner.

“I have spoken to each of the other three major shareholders at West Ham United, David Sullivan, Daniel Kretinsky and Tripp Smith, who have been very supportive.”

Sullivan is West Ham’s majority stakeholder followed by Czech billionaire Kretinsky.

Given the extensive rumours of potential takeovers at West Ham – involving both Kretinsky and other third parties – the potential availability of shares raises the obvious question.

So Hammers News has today spoken to the top source inside West Ham about the development.

Now the stance of Sullivan and Kretinsky on buying the Gold family’s West Ham shares after the official announcement has been revealed.

‘Neither have decided’ says top Hammers source

“Neither have decided,” a key source told Hammers News when asked whether Sullivan or Kretinsky would be interested in purchasing the extra shares.

Meanwhile in her statement, Vanessa has reassured West Ham fans that any transaction would have her father’s legacy at the forefront of her mind.

“Any transaction to purchase some of our shares will be with my father’s legacy at the forefront of my mind which, of course, prioritises his beloved West Ham United,” Vanessa added.

“I have appointed Rothschild & Co to advise us on any discussions and will keep the other shareholders, the Club and our supporters updated on any significant developments.”
