West Ham in crisis: Fresh turmoil at Upton Park as owner's parent firm faces meltdown
It's a link to a Daily Mail story about a 'Crisis' at Upton Park.
It seems Spurs and Newcastle are no longer in crisis, Arsenal are not not quite there, so it's back to West Ham - as any Fleet Street hack will tell you there must be at least one 'crisis club' in the Premier League at all times.
The friend who sent me this bombshell is a journalist himself - so i'm surprised he can't see how much real story there is in it - but i think being a Spurs fan he has given up looking at the league table and is concentrating on the share-price index instead.
The story seems to be that West Ham's owner Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson may consider selling the club he owns if someone offers him the right price....because things are tough out there at the moment and he has lost money in the credit crunch. Hmmm, okay.I own a car, it's a big car, in the credit crunch I might condiser selling it if someone offered me good money for it.
Am I in the midst of a 'car crisis' ?
And if I do sell my car - is that bad news for the car?
One person reportedly showing an interest in buying West Ham is Indian billionaire Anil Ambani - reportedly the World's sixth richest man.
Other reports suggest Zabeel Investments, the Dubai-based company which had looked like buying Charlton Athletic, is also monitoring things at Upton Park.
Would either of these be better or worse owners than Mr Gudmundsson - who knows?
At least one of them - and possibly both - would certainly be richer.

Nice blog mate.
It is possible that your Spurs mate is just trying to wind you up. Let's face it, they haven't had too much luck lately either have they?
As an O's fan I know that things always change after Christmas.
BTW, have you put this into Technorati?
