Chairman David Sullivan has reiterated that Scott Parker is not for sale
after a bid from Tottenham Hotspur
28.07.2010
West Ham United can confirm the club has rejected an offer from Tottenham
Hotspur for Scott Parker. The club would like to state that regardless of
the size of the bid, nothing will break the promise that Chairman David
Sullivan made to our supporters. As repeatedly stated, Scott Parker is not
for sale and there are no circumstances and no amount of money that will
cause us to break that pledge to the fans.
The club informed Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy prior to him making the
offer that we would not welcome any approach to unsettle the player. Scott
Parker has three years left on his contract and the club has opened talks
with his agent over a new five-year deal. David Sullivan said: "I made a
promise that I would not sell Scott and I will not, for any amount of money,
break that promise to the West Ham supporters. Scott is not for sale at any
price, to anyone. West Ham supporters, for far too long, have had owners
that sell their best players and promise one thing and do another. "This is
a new era. We are building a bigger, better West Ham and when we make a
promise, we honour it."

West Ham reject bid from Tottenham for Scott Parker

West Ham have rejected a bid from Tottenham for midfielder Scott Parker. The
29-year-old England international, who has three years left on his contract,
has been linked with a move away from Upton Park. But Hammers chairman David
Sullivan told the club website that Parker is not for sale at any price. "I
made a promise that I would not sell Scott and I will not, for any amount of
money, break that promise to the West Ham supporters," he said. "Scott is
not for sale at any price, to anyone. West Ham supporters, for far too long,
have had owners that sell their best players and promise one thing and do
another. "This is a new era. We are building a bigger, better West Ham and
when we make a promise, we honour it."
Parker joined the Hammers from Newcastle in 2007 for £7m and had moved to
the Magpies two years earlier in a £6.5m switch from Chelsea. West Ham
reiterated the stance of their chairman over Parker's future and a statement
read: "The club would like to state that regardless of the size of the bid,
nothing will break the promise that chairman David Sullivan made to our
supporters. "As repeatedly stated, Scott Parker is not for sale and there
are no circumstances and no amount of money that will cause us to break that
pledge to the fans. "The club informed Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy prior
to him making the offer that we would not welcome any approach to unsettle
the player. "Scott Parker has three years left on his contract and the club
has opened talks with his agent over a new five-year deal."
Parker, who missed out on a place in England's World Cup squad for this
summer's final in South Africa, returned to club action last Friday against
Panathinaikos. He captained the side and played for 45 minutes in the 1-0
win over the Greek outfit.

Spurs spurned in Parker bid
Hammers determined to keep England midfielder

West Ham United have rejected a bid from Premier League rivals Tottenham
Hotspur for midfielder Scott Parker. The England international was the
Hammers' standout performer last season, with a collection of commanding
displays helping the club steer clear of relegation. His efforts were
rewarded with a place in England's pre-World Cup squad, although he failed
to make the cut for the South African showpiece. He was expected to generate
interest this summer, with numerous clubs reported to be keen to bring him
on board. Tottenham have made no secret of their desire to strengthen, as
they prepare for life in the UEFA Champions League, and they are the first
to have made an official approach. They have, however, been knocked back by
West Ham, with co-owner David Sullivan making it clear that Parker is not
for sale at any price. "I made a promise that I would not sell Scott and I
will not, for any amount of money, break that promise to the West Ham
supporters," he told the club's official website. "Scott is not for sale at
any price, to anyone. West Ham supporters, for too long, have had owners
that sell their best players and promise one thing and do another. "This is
a new era. We are building a bigger, better West Ham and when we make a
promise, we honour it."
West Ham have also confirmed that talks have been opened with Parker's agent
regarding a new five-year contract.
