Irons lady reveals rejected bids
Karen Brady has revealed West Ham have rejected bids for players other than Scott Parker this summer despite their pressing need to raise cash.[LNB] West Ham revealed this morning that they had sent a hands-off warning to Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy before he tabled a bid for Parker.[LNB]David Sullivan dismissed Spurs' subsequent offer - reportedly £7million - and insisted Parker was not for sale at any price.[LNB]Sullivan had previously admitted the Hammers, who have debts of around £80million, would have to listen to offers for all players other than Parker but Brady says they have turned down bids this summer.[LNB]She told BBC London: "Football is a business and we need to raise money. The club has been run into the ground and has a huge hole of debt.[LNB]"If we get an offer for a player we'd have to look at it, with the exception of Scott Parker because he's the player that the supporters want to keep.[LNB]"I hope they'll have new heroes, that it won't just be Scott Parker and we're working hard on that but what is equally important is not letting players go.[LNB]"We have had offers for our players that we have not accepted."[LNB]The Hammers are believed to have rejected at least one bid for Carlton Cole from Stoke, who have also been tracking Mark Noble, while Valon Behrami is another player that remains at Upton Park despite interest from elsewhere.
