Is it April the First or is somebody just having an out of season giraffe? Given the possibilities offered by cockney rhyming slang, it would take one thick skinned Clark Hunt to take control of West Ham surely? God help the guy if things ever go wrong whilst he owns the club! With only one forward on the books, no right back and no money to buy anybody, the take over of West Ham certainly looks like a job for Superman!
As much as I detest the idea of being owned by a Yank, at least this guy seems to know something about football and, at 44, he could be here for the longer term. One thing is for sure, he has to be better than CB Only Just Holding Their Heads Above Water. A close season of inactivity in the transfer market has alerted fans to the implications of being a trading chip between bankrupt banks. If we are not to fall hopelessly behind our rivals, we need a new owner faster than sooner!
Hunt comes from the Lone Star State and is a genuinely wealthy guy. The owner of two MLS clubs already, he is an interesting prospective owner. The USA is emerging as a genuine force in world football and the idea of a tie up between the academies of West Ham and Hunt's American clubs is an exciting prospect.
It may all be paper talk of course but this is the most encouraging story I have read for a while. If it is going to happen, let's hope it happens quickly. Who knows, that famous former Newham kid David Beckham might just fancy promoting MLS Soccer in London whilst tuning up for South Africa from January onwards!
Altogether now - Is it a bird, is it a plane, no it's Clark Hunt! Then it's up, up and away! I bet you 'Arry is in the market for a Ukrainian called Kryptonite as we speak!

You see this is why no one likes you! Your posts are so derogatory of West Ham! You should be ashamed of yourdself!
I'll tell you what, why don't you meet me at a match one day and I will give you what 90% of the people on your so called blog want to give you! And that is a good kicking!
I want to meet you and I want to pound your pathetic head into the ground!
You pathetic loser!
You posted this on Saturday after a spokesman for said 'yank' had already denied that he was interested in expanding his portfolio. We do need a buyer, a forward and a right back, what we dont need is false hope.
0530, Would you care to explain quite why you felt the need to post this? What exactly is wrong with the article?
Ann, I am in the States on holiday at the moment. I picked up the story on News Now and had not seen any denial ahead of posting.
0530 that's soooo funny what a pratt you are
