Birmingham's Sullivan slams West Ham owners

Birmingham City co-owner David Sullivan has slammed West Ham's new owners and is convinced he could be offered the club once he sells up.

He told the Guardian: "I've got to find another club.

"I haven't got one lined up. But I think football clubs will fall out of bed and people will realise they're overpriced. All these people that have bought them for silly prices will find the club losing money, not doing as well as they anticipated and there will be deals to be done.

"I could see a scenario where the Icelanders, in two years' time or 18 months, making no money out of West Ham having cocked it up, they might want to walk away. They might want to say to me, 'Come and buy half the club and make it work for us,' because they have done some appalling things at West Ham. The wages they are paying both to staff and players - I cannot see how the business model works. And they have done it as an investment, no other reason."

Sullivan holds a small stake in the Hammers.
