No, Your Lying George!

The West Ham board has reacted to George McCartney's claim that the board lied about him handing in a written transfer request by saying that it is McCartney himself who is lying.

In a post on the official site West Ham claim that McCartney handed in a written request on Monday 1st September. They even go as far as printing what they say is a quote from the request, "due to private, family reasons I wish to accept the offer to move back to Sunderland AFC".
