Hammers Could Find Themselves In Hot-Water Again
Posted on 09. Oct, 2008 by Milox in Premiership
West Ham could find themselves in hot-water again after letting an unregistered doctor treat players.
The Hammers appointment of Nikos Tzouroudis in July, appears to break Premier League rules as he is not registered with the General Medical Council.
The Greek doctors appointment at Upton Park appears to have come about following a recommendation from technical director Gianluca Nani, as the east Londoners looked to put an end to their horrendous injury problems.
It is now being reported that Tzouroudis has now been banned from working alongside Gianfranco Zola in the dugout, because he doesn’t have clearance from the Premeir League.
And the Irons, who have already been left red-faced in their £30million compensation fight with Sheffield United over the Carlos Tevez affair, have however hit back insisting the doctor is fully qualified.
A club spokesman said: “We informed the Premier League, GMC and FA when Nikos arrived.
“We were advised he required GMC registration and needed to complete an FA course, which the club are complying with.
“He is acting in a strategic, managerial role.”
