RlCO 0 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 With his bald head, over-sized ties and pained expressions from the directors box Eggert Magnusson became the public face of West Ham United but the Icelander is expected to step down today as the club's chairman to make way for its owner, Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson. The move is a highly significant one for West Ham and English football and amounts to a serious mark of intent from Gudmundsson, a previously reclusive billionaire businessman who has ambitious plans to challenge the Premier League superpowers. The Icelanders acquired West Ham, who last night faced Everton for a place in the last four of the League Cup, last autumn for £108m – including debt – after a protracted takeover saga. Although Gudmundsson, who is known as "BG", owns 95 per cent of the club he was content to take a back seat and maintain a low profile and allow Magnusson, 60, to run it for him. Sound familiar?
