Hats off to West Ham's owner and CEO Scott Duxbury

You have to take your hat off to West Ham owner Bjorgulfor Gudmundsson and CEO Scott Duxbury.
At the end of last year the national newspapers worked themselves into a frenzy describing how 'Crisis Club' West Ham were likely to offload everyone but the tea lady in a bid to stave off administration and the resulting nine-point penalty.
The way it was reported it was clear that West Ham's money men wold have their hands full just trying to keep the club alive in some form or other.
As we stand, ahead of tonight's clash with Hull City, the West Ham Fire Sale - everything must go - has rsulted in the departue of Mullins, Bowyer, Etherington - possibly Davenport - and a failed attempt to shift Boa Morte to tonight's opponents.
And of course the move engineered by the Welsh Chav to Disneyland.
Not exactly ripping the heart from the club.
Zola has kept hold of Upson, Green, Parker, Ashton, Behrami, Noble, Collins - in fact all of the players he would've wanted to keep - apart from the tattooed one.
In return the club has brought in somewhere between £16 and £20 million pounds.
Money which any good Fleet Street hack will tell you is needed to avoid Mr Gudmundsson being visited by the bailiffs.
So.... how do they explain yesterday's capture of £10million striker Savio Nsereko??
Whatever you think abuot the pedigree of a 19-year-old from Serie B it is clear that the club's money men have been good to their word and allowed Zola to re-invest in the team.
Hats off to them - i hope Nsereko goes on to be as good as Zola clearly thinks he can be.
We watch with interest.
Hats off to the club.
