New West Ham chief shocked by club’s finances

Gold reckons the duo overpaid in buying their stake in the club for £50million.

“It’s madness what we have paid,” Gold told the Daily Telegraph. “The place was a car crash.

“Every page we turned in every document revealed yet another problem.

“It was the worst set of figures I have seen.”

“You have to say I’m certifiable, potty. There’s no other business like this. In fact that’s a misnomer, it’s not a business. We’ve lost the plot,” added Gold.

“The Premier League is pulling in more money than any other league the world has ever known, yet show me a club making a profit. It’s insane.”
