Report: West Ham United owners have rejected £350 million takeover bid from US consortium

According to The Sun, West Ham United owners have knocked back a £350 million takeover bid from an unnamed US consortium, insisting they are only willing to sell a minority stake at the moment.

David Sullivan and David Gold took charge of the Hammers in 2010, but have become unpopular with the fans after failing to fulfill any of their promises.

Their decision to do away with Boleyn Ground – West Ham’s home for 112 years – continues to irk the fans, while they recently made their frosty relationship with them worse after selling academy graduate Grady Diangana to West Bromwich Albion.
