Plenty of West Ham fans have been going wild on social media following Sky Sports’ on-air London Stadium takeover claim.
The Hammers faithful have had plenty to shout about on the pitch this season, most recently after they knocked out holders Manchester City out of the Carabao Cup in the week, and it appears as if they may have some more good news off the field, possibly as soon as next month.
Sky Sports shared news on Thursday, video shared by Football Daily, revealing Daniel Kretinsky, a Czech-based billionaire who owns Sparta Prague and a big stake in Royal Mail, is within days of agreeing to buy a big stake in the club.
Kretinsky is in talks to buy a 27 per cent stake in West Ham, which they believe ‘crucially’ could lead to a full takeover.
Should Kretinsky eventually take full control, it would spell an end for David Gold and David Sullivan, who have been in charge of the Hammers for 11 years.
It is no surprise to see fans delighted at the news, considering the immense level of distrust between the Irons faithful and GSB.
Hammers fans react
This is what these West Ham supporters had to say in reply to Sky Sports’ on-air claim on Twitter, with many going wild.
