Gold and Sullivan, who go on to spell out their plans in full detail, have pledged to:

1) Appoint the right manager 2) Sign new players 3) Make more investment in the Academy 4) Continue to clear the debt 5) Freeze season ticket prices for renewals 6) Build the status and image of the club 7) Make it enjoyable to come and watch 8) Get closer to the community 9) Go for the Olympic Stadium 10) Listen to supporters

The letter ends with Gold and Sullivan telling fans: "This 10-point pledge is just the start.

"We are here for the long term and our goals will evolve as we progress. We are proud to be here and will never stop working for you.

"All of us share the same hopes and dreams. It is not just about aiming for cup finals or derby victories but about feeling part of something together and all pulling in the same direction.

"As the name says, we are very much West Ham. United."
