West Ham band yet All hands to battle with the Hammers! While the club is under the waterline in the standings, and the descent Championship is envisaged, the store changed owners. Exit Icelanders pockets emptied by the financial crisis, welcome to the two Davids, gentlemen Gold and Sullivan. It all began in 2006.

No luck, it quickly runs out of money and leaves the controls of his club mate, Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson, boss of the bank Landsbanki. Except that the crisis passes by and the institution came close to bankruptcy. Result: The bank Straumur that gets the club in 2009 before being nationalized in the wake. West Ham becomes an asset that the Icelandic government is fully underway. The club and its debts are for sale. So come the two Davids. A priori, anything but funny. The Sunday Times, Sullivan is the 68th British capital, the 178th Gold. They are former owners of Birmingham City they did back in the Premier League after fifteen years in lower divisions. This does not prevent them from being true fans of the Irons, they have been shareholders in 1988. Except that the current situation is different. West Ham has a deficit of 110 million pounds and the team plays badly. Evidence that, in Nantes, ? ? football academy is part of the past. The former bosses have repeatedly announced the sale of the best players to save the club. What caused the departure of then-coach, Alan Curbishley, everyone now regrets. The prospect of starting goalkeeper Robert Green, Matthew Upson defender, the former Chelsea striker Scott Parker and Carlton Cole is still thrilling fans.

Initially, fans were not excited about the ticket Gold / Sullivan. But the press conference during which the latter was finally able to quantify the deficit has reassured the club. The next two mafiosi rednecks porn barons, their demagogic speech so close to the fans (Sulle even shed a few tears) and the arrival of a MILF have also managed to charm the fans of this popular club, always appreciated by the son of London workers. In any case, if the situation is not as rosy as the vibrators sold by Gold, Claret and Blue are still standing, ready to fight to stay in the Premiership.
