BBC said:

West Ham are having "exploratory discussions" over a possible takeover.

The move comes hot on the heels of the club luring Argentine pair Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano to the club.

"Discussions are at an early stage and there can be no certainty that an offer for West Ham will be forthcoming," said a club statement to the Stock Exchange.

"The board also confirms that there is no contractual link between the signing of the players (Tevez and Mascherano) and the bid discussions."

was always on teh cards. why would 2 people worth over 30 mill join the hammers. mabe if they knew millions would be pumped into the club maybe?

I reckon the players were lured with free unlimited amounts of pie & mash & the finest
eels from Tubby Issac

On a more serious note, hope we dont end up being another Chelski, I want to see us continue to develop young English / U.K. talent rather than buy a trophy like Blackburn & Chelski did

[unrepentant]

Are we going to end up with any British owned Football Clubs?
