West Ham yesterday confirmed the partial takeover of the club from Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky. With the club announcing the update yesterday.
The Irons posted on their official website that Kretinsky had successfully purchased 27% of the club. Seemingly beginning the end of the David Gold and David Sullivan era of West Ham.
The partial takeover of West Ham had been discussed for some time. However, this is the first big step in change actually happening for the east London club.
And it has come at the perfect time. With the Hammer sat fourth in the Premier League as well as top of their UEFA Europa League group stage. With Europe looking like a real possibility again for next season.
Indeed, things have never been better for West Ham, and this partial takeover from Kretinsky has only lifted the mood around the London Stadium.
Gold and Sullivan have often been criticised for their ownership of West Ham. And despite success over the past 12 months, supporters are still eager for the duo to depart in the coming years.
