Report: American Consortium To Launch £100m Takeover Of West Ham United On Monday
London-based financial analysis firm Intermarket have allegedly revealed that they intend to takeover the club next Monday, and give manager Gianfranco Zola the funds he requires to bolster the squad in January.
The chief executive of the company, Jim Bowe, and several other investors - who happen to be fans of the Upton Park outfit - are believed to be desperate to help the Hammers with the necessary funding required to ensure their Premier League participation next season.
It is claimed that the group are keen to conclude a buy-out as soon as possible, so as to give the Italian enough time to make purchases during the transfer window.
The Hammers are one point away from being dragged back into the drop zone, as they have collected only 18 points after the halfway point in the season.
