West Ham have just been taken over and saved from a precarious financial positon, whereas Portsmouth have been taken over and not much appears to have been done over their financial position.
The Hammers can move nine points clear of Portsmouth and four from Hull who are currently third from bottom, which would give the club some breathing space and help to inject some optimism at the club, who may well be able to keep their key players and will not be forced to sell unless they receive very good offers.
