Spijtig voor u dat West Ham dat type voorzitter dan niet heeft.
West Ham staat al decennia bekend om haar fantastische jeugdwerking (hebben niet voor niets de bijnaam The Football Academy).
Btw: Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso has promised he will return to Rangers before the end of his career.
The World Cup winner and former Rangers favourite claims he has unfinished business at Ibrox and he has now made a pledge to Gers chairman David Murray.
Gattuso garnered cult status with the Rangers faithful after being brought to the club from Perugia, as a 19-year-old by then incumbent Walter Smith.
While his pugnacious displays in the middle of the park brought rave reviews from the stands, he was allowed to leave the club in 1998, when Dick Advocaat took over at the helm.
Gattuso, who is married to a Scot, is under contract at Milan until 2011 but that has not stopped him from making a vow to return to the club where he enjoyed his formative years.
"I don't know when it will happen but it will happen," said Gattuso.
"I just have to go back and it's a promise I have made to myself and David Murray.
"I spoke to David in August in Edinburgh and he told me the door was always open for me. There won't be any problems with money.
"I know they are going through a bad time financially, and I won't go there to take a pension either.
"I won't go at 35 or 36, I'll go when I've still got something to offer them, at European level as well as Scottish.
"When I left Glasgow, it wasn't through the main door, I was forced to flee almost like some sort of thief, at four in the morning. That's stuck in my throat since.
"I'm a player who wants people to see how much I put into things, not someone who just runs away in the night.
"I've got a debt towards Rangers fans because of the way I left. They helped me get where I am. I just have to go back."
doet hij nu'. Maarja, een coach die wint heeft altijd gelijk
