West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan says he would only sell the club to an investor with the financial clout of the King of Saudi Arabia after shrugging off a £650m takeover approach in the summer.
Sullivan, who has been at the helm of the Hammers alongside his fellow co-chairman David Gold since the pair acquired a controlling stake in the club in 2010, has dismissed suggestions Red Bull are mounting a buyout.
And, writing on West Ham's official website, he insisted that there is little incentive for him and Gold to sell to anyone who is unable to 'take it to a level we cannot ourselves hope to reach'.
