Zola - Takeover talk no distraction
West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola insists his players are not being affected by rumours the club is about to be taken over.
The Hammers suffered their fifth loss of the season at Stoke on Saturday and currently lie second from bottom of the Barclays Premier League.
Recent reports have linked several consortia with a bid for the London club, but Zola insists his side's sole focus is on climbing the league table.
"I don't think it is causing us problems," Zola told the club's official website.
"We try to separate things that happen outside from things that
happen inside. There is no need to talk about that.
"One win will change so many things. We can really improve the confidence of the players."
