The Hammers sold to CB (Claret and Blue) Holdings recently, led by troubled Icelandic Bank Straumur, are now under pressure to sell players due to financial restraints.
This leaves the club in a financial headache! CB Holding had a three-year plan to run the club, aiming to recoup the money it is owed by previous chairman Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson but is highly unlikely. The club could be forced to balance the books with rumors of Green, Collins, Upson and Ashton departing Upton Park before the transfer window closes and maybe a couple of loanees to replace them, which will not go down too well with Hammers fans.
The Hammers owe Sh*ffield United a minimum of £21m after the Carlos Tevez affair back in 2006-7 season after they deservedly got relegated to the Fizzy Pop League.
Rumors of an American buying the Hammers have surfaced and a deal for £100- 120m could persuade CB Holdings to sell, if they don't consequences will hit us pretty hard with points deduction and a mass cull!
