Who were bought by a shady businessman who strictly speaking should not have been allowed to (having been barred from being a director recently), and who is basically treating the club as a hedge bet?

But their Ibrox average is more than 47,000 and they are usually in Europe every year. The fact that their owners got a bad atack of the living above their income syndrome doesn't alter the fact thatthey are an internationally famous huge club. And stil the only serious bidder was somebody who should not have been allowed to buy a club.

I have no doubt at all we would have been in Portsmouth's position now given Straumer had no appetite to keep the debts, they would have sold most of our players and headed for the hills, leaving the other banks to pinch the ground, training ground and every other asset they have as security .....

Straumer had no funds to invest in the team and were actively encouraging the club to sell its best players, which would have lead to meltdown no doubt and almost certainly administration. I know for sure that Parker was on their hit list for sale, Duxbury reneged by securitising cash from advance ticket sales and placating the banks that West Ham were a going concern. I can say for a fact that Duxbury was offering the club for 20 million quid, effectively 120m when you add in the debts. Nobody was prepared to pay that figure or take on the debts, the only party that would were G & S. G & S had made decent money from selling Birmingham, they used that cash to but West Ham and have since increased their holding to 67% - Straumer don't want to own any part of the club, they are managing 'assets' and want the money back to pay off debts.
