The consortium attempting to buy West Ham has fired back at claims from the club’s owner David Sullivan that they could not provide proof of funds.
As Sportsmail revealed last week, an investor group led by former QPR chief executive Philip Beard made an offer of more than £400million for the Hammers, but saw it rejected by Sullivan.
He accused the bidders of not providing proof they could stump up the money — and now Beard has roundly rejected those claims in a statement on behalf of the group.
‘It is necessary to correct unhelpful and inaccurate statements,’ said Beard.
