Mon, 24 Mar 2008 20:34:21 +0000 http://www.theoffside.com/world-football/happy-easter.html#comment-116449 Eggert Magnusson was never a successful businessman. Not in Iceland, not anywhere. He is not a "wealthy owner of a business factory". He is just a hired (and now fired) hand. However, he certainly was the chairman of the Icelandic Football association. There, he managed to move Iceland from #45 down to #100 on the Fifa list of best national teams. He fired a succesful coach to try out a hopeless friend of his - and then another - and then another. I felt sorry for my favourite club, West Ham United, when Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson planted this guy in yet another position he can't manage. Luckily, he changed his mind. Congratulations, Hammers, on getting rit of him before it's too late. Eggert Magnusson was never a successful businessman. Not in Iceland, not anywhere.
