West Ham set to snub ex-Birmingham City owners Gold and Sullivan

27 December 2009 13:59
West Ham's statement during the week that they are in no hurry to sell the club is due to the fact that none of the bidders has come up with an offer that troubled Icelandic bank Straumur consider acceptable. [LNB]The four interested parties are understood to be former Birmingham City owners David Sullivan and David Gold, London-based financial analysis firm Intermarket, Air Asia founder Tony Fernandes, who has since withdrawn, and an unidentified American individual. [LNB]Sullivan and Gold are unlikely to succeed, given that their £50million bid falls below Straumur's valuation and they have antagonised the club by the manner with which they have conducted themselves.[LNB] Prospective buyer: Former Birmingham City owner David Sullivan[LNB] West Ham 2 Portsmouth 0: Diamanti and Kovac secure precious winDouble your money - West Ham warn Gold and Sullivan to forget cut-price bidBrazil striker Adriano snubs January switch to strugglers West HamWEST HAM FC
