Vanessa Gold's West Ham deadline revealed as completion notice served in latest behind-the-scenes update

Vanessa Gold has served a completion notice ahead of selling the remainder of her family's stake in West Ham United.

The past 12 months have seen plenty of movement in the boardroom behind the scenes.

Things started when Karren Brady stepped down from her role, before David Sullivan then moved away from the club due to historic allegations about his behaviour in his personal life.

This has all come while supporters have continued to direct their ire at the club's hierarchy, with the Hammers now finding themselves in the Championship after relegation from the Premier League.

But Sullivan's decision has prompted a tug of war for power over the Irons, with the Gold Family Trust keen to sell their shares.

Daniel Kretinsky is closing in on a move that will see him become majority shareholder of West Ham, with Gold ready to sell up.

Vanessa Gold serves notice on share sale as "things moving fast" now

There has been an agreement that will see Kretinsky increase his stake to 46 per cent.

Sullivan is set to stay with 40 per cent, and the third-largest shareholder will be Tripp Smith with 11 per cent.

An update from Matt Lawton states that Gold has served a completion notice on the share sale to Kretinsky.

The Times journalist reports that this means all monies have to be paid by the end of the week for the deal to go through.

There has been no official confirmation from West Ham about the sale, with "things moving fast" in E20.

It's highly likely that an announcement is made very shortly.

What Daniel Kretinsky must do after West Ham announcement

Amanda Staveley has shown interest in the Hammers, and was even at the London Stadium to watch Nuno Espirito Santo's team beat Wolves 4-2.

PCP Partners have also strongly linked with West Ham, with Staveley reportedly interested in Sullivan's shares.

But Kretinsky is now edging closer towards becoming the main man of West Ham, which is interesting considering he rarely shows his face.

The Czech business man must address supporters with words once the sale is complete, and finally try to touch base with the loyal fans who have suffered for too long in E20.
