Hammers Taken-Over

Last Updated : 08-Jun-2009 by

The takeover looks set to secure West Ham's future, which had been in some doubt, as the credit crunch wiped out the vast majority of the Owners fortunes.

As a result of the long predicted take-over Owner and Chairman Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson and his Vice-Chairman Asgeir Fridgeirsson have relinquished their posts and are longer part of the running of the club.


The new Non-Executive Club Chairman of the club is going to Andrew Bernhardt, a senior director with Straumur Bank who is the majority shareholder in CB Holding.
