[west ham] magnusson considering buying

West Ham’s new ground

This is more like news: Eggert Magnússon, head of Iceland’s football federation (KSÍ), is considering buying English football club West Ham. Telegraph.co.uk reports that Magnússon, who is also a member of the UEFA executive committee, and his partners have made a formal takeover approach, offering a provisional GBP 75 million (EUR 110 million, USD 139 million) for the East London football club. The club’s future has been uncertain for a long time. The Icelandic businessman and football lover told Morgunbladid that the deal is still in the beginning phases. He thinks West Ham is a great football club with a lot of history, an excellent manager, players and supporters. He makes an offer and this is termed ‘considering’? Also, the Nordic god Thor, wasn't his team called the Hammers?
