West Ham to pay £100K a week to one player to avoid relegation

[TopGun]

It seems that Gold & Sullivan think that one big performing player who will be paid £100K per week will do enough to keep the Hammers in the PL this season...

What can one say?

 

For those of you old enough to recall Scoop comic in the early 80s they need a Jon Stark. But Stark was an honourable mercenary who never took his match fee unless the club he was playing for won the game that he was hired to play in...

they've only just announced that they're 110m in debt ffs.

 

who on earth would warrant that kind of wage? If it's Ruud, i'd pay him 40k max...given his recent injury record.

Any measure to keep them in the PL should be undertaken. I'm pleased Gold & Sullivan have bought them.

Gold and Sullivan did say they needed to be creative as they have no cash to spend so maybe this statement is part of their "creativity".

 

Perhaps the plan is to raise interest among out of contract players and pay three of them a total of £100K a week until the end of the season - maybe £2m in total...

 

Just a guess, who knows what chicanery goes on!
