Cerebral colossus Gore Vidal has made a shock move to purchase West Ham football club this weekend. Speaking exclusively to Globaleyes, Vidal told us that he is keen to take control at the embattled London club and is 'relishing the challenge of dragging the Hammers back to the pinnacle of the footballing world'.
This news comes hot on the heels of the arrival of two high-profile Argentinian political science students to West Ham who, some say, have disrupted the dressing room with their unorthodox views on the role of China in the 21st century geo-political landscape.
Filthy Hack investigates
'West Ham is a club with enormous potential' said Vidal this morning. 'The sky is the limit'. Vidal's bid has led some to speculate that a change in management could be on the cards too. Globaleyes spoke to our football coprrespondent, six-time Pulitzer winner Filthy Hack, who told us that one name keeps cropping up.
'Colin Powel has been looking for a new challenge and taking the reins at Vidal's rejuvenated West Ham, could be just the ticket to draw him out of retirement after a lack-lustre Iraq War performance' said a clearly excited Hack.

However, a club spokesman strongly denied that representatives of the club had kidnapped players' wives, stripped them naked and tied them to a giant chandelier in a Dunfermline brothel.
