Reasons Why West Ham Didn't Buy During The Window
Submitted by Neville Nixon on 19 February, 2008 - 20:09.
Despite the news that Craig Bellamy is probably ruled out for the rest of
the season, West Ham United owner and chairman Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson is
happy with the clubs procurement policy. Next year his son, Thor, is due to
take a much more 'hands on' role, and as he is ten times wealthier than his
old man, he might make the difference between Championship aspirations and
Champions league! Gudmundsson has been careful to shield his son from the
flack connected with the Tevez and Mascherano transfer fiasco. To this
purpose the chairman took note of the advice that he was given by friends at
the Icelandic FA, he was told that the impending English FA investigations
in to all current transfers was something to be avoided and as such any
transfer activity during the January window would be subject to intense
scrutiny and more importantly might have led to the re-opening of
investigations into the Argentine duo's transfers. What ever the merits of
his decision, fans should appreciate that Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson and his
family are in it for the long haul, and unlike the Glazers and the Pool
yanks, have not taken out loans to fulfil their ambitions! - Ed
