Despite the statement from Duxbury on the the WHUFC website, it is now known that another director Gudmundur Oddsson has quit the Hammers board shortly after Mike Lee quit his post as Non Executive Director.

This could easily be due to the fact that the club have decided to streamline or could be signs that the club are on the verge of a possible sale the latter is probably the most popular with West Ham fans.

Duxbury’s statement was crucial, not only to the fans but also potential investors.

The new sponsorship deal now believed to be worth £3m for 18mths from SBOBet.com is regarded as good news and especially if the Premier League allow the Bobby Moore fund logo to be linked with the deal, the BMF Logo could be on new shirts if West Ham can persuade the EPL that they will not be double sponsored.

An ideal situation in the near future would be: BG sells to a Billionaire, preferably to somebody who knows of West Ham United and shows more than a passing interest in the club, and the BMF Logo is always included on new shirts, any debts or compensation owing is paid off leaving the club financially secure and without anymore reasons for slander in the future.

Zola

By Thursday West Ham will announce the signings of its new Manager Gianfranco Zola and the sensational signing of the Stephen Appiah (The Tornado)

Gianfranco Zola has been hinted by Kia Joorabchian to be the choice that the West Ham board have made ,  Kia Joorabchian who is acting as an official advisor to the Upton Park board in the hunt for a new manager, He said to the Media:

“Zola has got a lot of experience in the Premier League as a player and he has built a big reputation in Italy with the U21s,” It is also well known that Zola is Nani and Duxbury’s favourite to succeed Curbishley

Appiah

Stephen Appiah the Black Stars captain flew to London after the Ghana game and told KickOffGhana.com that,

“by the close of the week, I will see where I am going to play my club football.”

and the only club known to have had any talks and medical with Appiah is West Ham, Arsenal manager Wenger has and will not show interest in Appiah according to Gooner Talk because of 3rd party ownership of the player.

Appiah has made it quite clear that his dream is to play in the Premier League and in London.

West Ham are sitting in 5th place and only 1 point behind the leaders Chelsea, the next 5 games will be the big test for West Ham and its new manager and by the end of October we might even see West Ham above Chelsea, how ironic would that be for Zola.

Chelsea fans are excited about West Ham signing Zola but only because they believe if he succeeds in getting West Ham to Europe by at least a 5th place finish, then they will be wanting Zola for manager in the near future, and who can blame them, we have the same passion for Bilic.

It was only 2 weeks ago that Alan Curbishley said in a statement that Anton was part of his plans for the future of West Ham.

Today Duxbury announces in a statement on the WHUFC website that Bellamy is going nowhere and that the club only wants to keep players that the manager finds useful to to the club and part of its long term future.

Duxbury is quoted as saying:

“If a player refuses to sign a new contract or is not crucial to the manager’s plans then we will look at offers on a case by case basis. It is the only sensible way to build for the future”

Anton was basically on the same wages as a Championship player, surely if he was essential to Curbs plans, a slight pay rise was in order, and to prove his quality West Ham have accepted a quite considerable offer of £8m for him.
