We Must Sell To Buy

CEO Scott Duxbury has revealed that West Ham will have to sell before they can buy - just a month after promising new manager Gianfranco Zola new funds with which to strengthen his squad.
Duxbury, speaking in a statement via whufc.com last night told supporters that the current owners are not looking to sell However he backed up an earlier statement from vice chairman Asgeir Fridgeirsson by stating that the current board will not be in a position to invest in the squad this coming January should they remain in control of the club - a statement in direct contrast to one made last month in the wake of Zola's appointment in which he claimed that "it's about building a team around him and that's what we will do."





Since his appointment, Gianfranco Zola has made it quite clear that his first-team squad is too large and needs to be reduced so he can effectively coach the team. Once this has happened and if the manager requires further players, then the club will acquire them.
