It gives us great pleasure to introduce ourselves to you as the new joint
chairmen of West Ham United football club. This is an important move for us.
We are both lifelong West Ham fans and for 20 years, this is the club we
wanted. The club is now back in the hands of East Enders, people who
understand the community and its passion for the Hammers. It will be an
immense privilege to lead this great club and more importantly its
supporters. It's been a difficult period for the club and it will take time
to turn things round. But that's what we will do and we can't wait to get on
with it.
Our first priority has to be securing the Premier League status of West Ham.
The players at this club have shown great commitment in trying circumstances
and the new board will get behind them in every way. We will also look to
bring in new players to supplement the squad and have discussed this with
the manager. Our long-term aim will be to put the club on a stronger
financial footing. With our new board we have the expertise and experience
to do that and put this club where it belongs - challenging for the top
honours and representing the heart and soul of its community.
We want to put the smiles back on people's faces. For the many thousands of
loyal fans that come to the Boleyn Ground, whether they are in the stands or
the corporate boxes, we want them to enjoy the best possible experience and
real value for money. And we want to take that experience to a new level.
We are exploring the prospect of using the 2012 Olympics Stadium once the
Games have finished. This would be a fantastic home for our club, a real
showpiece stadium we can all be proud of. With a sizeable capacity it would
also enable more people to watch top quality football at affordable prices -
putting the game back into the community.
This club has enormous potential and it's a dream come true for us to be
taking it forward. It's the start of a new adventure and we want you to
share it with us.
Thank you for your support.
