[Edit/Correction to title. Forget Birmingham. Let's try WEST HAM!) Sure you did ....Anyway too late www.kumb.com/story.php?id=12579Gold: we wanted Fernandez Filed: Wednesday, 9th November 2011 David Gold has revealed that he and fellow chairman David Sullivan wanted to bring new QPR owner Tony Fernandez on board. West Ham's co-chairman, speaking to TalkSport this morning, confirmed that an offer was made to Fernandez - but rejected by the Malaysian entrepreneur, who insisted on full control should he become financially involved. "He wouldn't work with us as a third/third/third," said Gold. "Our offer to Tony was, "Come in and join us on this fantastic adventure. It's tough - don't come in with any illusions. This is a tough ask". We believe the three of us could have [worked together]. But it had to be three shareholders." Gold also revealed that he and Sullivan were still looking for a 'super-wealthy' party to take on the third of the club currently under the ownership of Straumur, the Icelandic bank. "David Sullivan owns a third of the football, I own a third of the football club and the banks own a third, as we speak," he said. "If a big player - by that I mean a big investor - comes in and takes the other third - and he is a super-wealthy person - it can be done. "I think we're the eighth largest supported club in the country. We should be in that position www.kumb.com/story.php?id=125799
