Can't answer your question - suspect it'a f*** up to be honest , but there was certainly a thread on here in the last couple of weeks about a name change .

From the guardian

Records at Companies House show that West Ham United's owners, David Sullivan and David Gold, have injected £20m in working capital into the club, a sum that looks set to maintain the club's survival as a going concern. But they are still looking for outside investment and West Ham fans may well be asking why. After all, it was well‑publicised that they made £40m only last October by selling their stake in Birmingham City. Indeed they did, but what has not previously come out is that they are believed to have paid West Ham's Icelandic owner, Straumur, a further £20m to secure 50% of the shares. That values the club's debt and equity at around £125m – about 50% more than Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson paid for the club when he bought it from Terry Brown et al in 2006.

After the turbulence of the Tevez saga, the escalating wage bill, the retirement of Dean Ashton, the pay-off to Alan Curbishley and everything else, it is impossible to see where the Icelanders have added value. When Sullivan and Gold say it is an emotional investment they would never have made anywhere else, you had better believe it.

Reading that it leads to the conclusion G&S weren't bullshitting and if the Icelandics were still running the show we'd be near certainties for relegation, administration and points deductions.

Pur speculation on the part of the Guardian but better to have the £20m than not.
