Just when Hammers fans thought they had seen it all with regards to players at the club dropping like flies, news arrives not only of David Sullivan being hospitalised but also that of David Gold having to visit the Lister Hospital!
David Sullivan has undergone heart surgery and currently remains in hospital, he previously underwent a quadruple heart bypass surgery in 1994. . David Sullivan junior tweeted "Dad's just had heart surgery woke up from operation and is straight back on the phone to sign more players ,THE CHAMP! What a man" Mr Sullivan is expected to make a full recovery, but has been advised to 'take it easy', some hope!
As if news of one co-owner needing Hospital treatment wasn't bad enough, news that fellow co-owner David Gold's car with it's distinct number plate, has been seen parked up outside the prestigious Lister Hospital in Westminster. Although the Lister do not give out specific information about their clients, their equivalent of doris the teal lady was able to confirm that appointments had been attended by a member of the Gold family but would not exactly confirm their specific identity.
There have been recent misguided and scurrilous reports that David Sullivan and David Gold are looking to make a 'fast buck' by selling the club, nothing can be further from the truth! But if there were fans who doubted the two David's commitment to the club they should look no further, because here are two examples of people who WILL go the extra mile for the club they live and breathe. - Ef

working in healthcare
it is no small think sullivans gone through no matter what you hear and both men are of an age where it takes a lot longer to recover from any kind of illness...I wish them both good health and if they decided to sell(I doubt they would)well good luck to them both.....after the fiasco of the biscuit barons I would prefer a british owner before a foreign one and for goodness sake never ever sell the club to the yanks!
The 2 chairman have saved the club.
Simple as that. I don't always like everything they do, and even they can be mercenary at times, but fortune has come out of hiding since they took control, and we were headed the way of Portsmouth (remember them?). I think we missed disaster by a hair's breadth. Like many of you, I would like to see the Daves remain in control at least a few more years. And while last year's big improvement gave us a taste of "big club" atmosphere that is hard to resist, I think we still should hope for steady as she goes improvement over the next 2-3 seasons. More Europa league, steady finishing in the top six, a cup win -- these are the things I hope for. There could be hiccups too. But there is no question that GOLD and SULLIVAN have led us out of the wilderness. THANKS!!!
Hears to a Speedy recovery
Agree with all above, Sugo have done a blinding job,just think we could have ended up with

Family Affair
I remember reading That David Gold had instructed his family that in the event of him no longer being here his shares were not to be sold.... can't remember where I read it as it was a while ago but I know I saw it it black and white.
I heard at an evening with DG
I heard at an evening with DG. At the Boleyn about three or four years ago. He was asked whether they were looking to sell
