Three little bids?

The Evening Standard quotes David Moyes as saying West Ham have three active bids, including one for James Tarkowski. So we can assume the Tarkowski bid has gone up to £31 million plus 25 pence and a free big breakfast in the Best Cafe knowing the club's way of doing business. If two other bids are in the pipeline then it at least offers some hope. 

Meanwhile there was a good piece by Jacob Steinberg in the Guardian last week on the club's plight and a possible takeover. Any American consortium would have to pay a lot of money to compensate Sullivan and Gold for the financial penalties they would incur from the LLDC by selling before 2023. Though a new owner would have an immediate advantage in that they wouldn't be blamed for the move to Stratford and the club and fans might at last start pulling together.
