West Ham United's David Sullivan is unlikely to cash in on his remaining shares despite stepping away from the club indefinitely. Stefan Borson, a former Manchester City financial adviser, exclusively told Football Insider that the Hammers are unlikely to lose enough money next season to trigger his exit.
The club has already sold Mateus Fernandes for £85million, creating some much-needed funds at the London Stadium. Daniel Kretinsky has now taken over as majority shareholder, representing a new era in East London.
What's next for West Ham United?
The Hammers will be hopeful of winning promotion straight back to the Premier League, but nothing is guaranteed in the Championship. With 42,000 season tickets sold so far, the club's financial situation is not as dire as it could be.
David Sullivan's future
Borson said: "He might look at it and go, 'Why would I sell now when the club's in the Championship when I believe the club are going to be in the Championship for one season?'". Sullivan's decision to sell or not will have a significant impact on the club's future.
West Ham United's recent form
The club finished the season in 18th place in the Premier League, with 39 points from 38 games, and a recent form of WLLLW. They scored 46 goals and conceded 65, resulting in a goal difference of -19. The team is 46 points behind leaders Arsenal. With the new season approaching, West Ham United will be looking to bounce back from relegation and make a push for promotion. The sale of Mateus Fernandes has given the club a financial boost, and the arrival of Daniel Kretinsky as majority shareholder marks a new era for the team.
