David Moyes says West Ham aren’t a club that need money anymore, outlining they’ve got their own billionaire backer in Daniel Kretinsky as they prepare to play moneybags Newcastle at the London Stadium on Saturday.
Moyes is pleased with how the arrival of his club’s new investor has slipped under the radar, saying: ‘We don’t want to be out there flashing our nice handbag... we’re going to walk about with a fake one and let people think that way.’
But he felt compelled on Friday to highlight how they can be as competitive as any Premier League side in the transfer market, adding that the next summer window will be a significant one for West Ham.
