Bothroyd transfer speculation

Like Cardiff City relegated West Ham are looking to rebuild their squad and could turn to Cardiff striker Jay Bothroyd. The managerless East End club are expecting to lose a number of their top players during the summer after the drop to the Championship and on top of that the club is carrying heavy debts.

Bothroyd is out of contract and expected to be leaving the club and with no transfer fee he could well receive and number of offers over the summer. Manager Dave Jones has been linked with West Ham the manager job, but there are a number of options thought to be ahead of him. Owners David Sullivan and David Gold may see Bothroyd as an interesting target, but would the new manager feel the same. It could well scare off some as it looks like interference any new boss would have is own ideas about the players he wants.

Bothroyd has on a number of occasions said he wanted a move into the Premier League would he be will to stay in the Championship with West Ham or another team in the second tier of football. Already in the press the striker has been linked with Sunderland, Celtic, Everton and a Serie A club Lazio.

Non-City - West Ham relegated

Relegation couldn’t happen to a loving man than David Sullivan the ‘die in the wood’ East End boy and West Ham fan and owner or so we are lend to believe. Born just out Cardiff in a sleepy seaside town of  Penarth and once claiming to be a boyhood Cardiff City fan and according to his bio in the Times he said,

"Every single night as a child before I went to bed I would pray for three things. I wanted to be the captain of Cardiff City and Wales, I wanted to be a world champion boxer and I wanted to be a millionaire.” 

Well one out of three isn’t bad. Over the years he as constantly turn is nose up at involvement in Cardiff City, is beloved Cardiff City. My hope is Cardiff replace them in the Premier League and he could is beloved Cardiff week in week out of Sky Sports.
