Gold and Sullivan stand to earn £280million from West Ham
David Gold and David Sullivan stand to earn a combined £280million profit from West Ham after Daniel Kretinsky’s investment this week.
Claret and Hugh claim that the Irons are now valued at £555million after the Czech’s investment into the club was confirmed this week.
Therefore, should Gold and Sullivan decide to sell the club in full, they will stand to earn a huge profit from the club, and other board members are all set to make a profit as well.
Ridiculous figures.
No matter what happens from this point onwards, Gold and Sullivan are set to make an absolute fortune from the Irons, which could annoy some Hammers fans.
However, the good thing is they no longer have a controlling majority over the club, and any decision has to be approved by Kretinsky now.
So, the power dynamic is slowly shifting and changing and moving away from Gold and Sullivan.
However, we doubt they even care when we see how much they have already earned from the club, and they could be set to earn a lot more in the time that they remain at the club as well.
Hopefully, Kretinsky’s arrival is the beginning of the end for Gold and Sullivan at the London Stadium, but no matter what happens from here, they have made a massive amount of money from the club [Sky Sports].
Gold and Sullivan have been successful off the field even if they have remained deeply unpopular with many Irons fans for their actions over the years.
