"We had a player liaison officer who just drove a few of the players around and he was paid £50,000 a year,"

whoa.

[Andrea]

Why did he buy West Ham again? lol...

[plurker]

Sullivan also says the Premier League club, who have debts of £110m, will face "Armageddon" if they go down.

Has he learnt nothing from the recent snowfalls in the US, dubbed Sno-mageddon??
This wouldn't be Armageddon, it'd be Iron-maggedon surely...

[Munkee]

So one of the Gold brothers is storming round the offices at Upton Park and spots a bloke leaning against a wall, doing nothing.
How much are you getting paid?
He asks.
£300 a week, says the bloke.
Gold shoves a wad in his hand.
Here's six hundred. consider your self sacked. Noe f*ck off!
He says.
What was that useless waste of space supposed to be doing anyway?
He yelled
Delivering pizza boss..
comes the reply.

The former England midfielder is fast becoming an emblem of the reckless financial regime of Icelandic owner Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson and his sidekick Eggert Magnusson.

West Ham’s medical team raised doubts about Dyer’s signing when he arrived from Newcastle in August 2007 but the transfer was rushed through before the deadline because the owners were keen to showcase top-class players.

Dyer, who has managed just 558 minutes of League action for the club, signed a four-year deal reported to be worth £70,000 a week but broke his right leg soon after his debut and missed more than a year as he suffered complications in his recovery.
West Ham's poor return

His transfer fee was £7m - £1m more than the figure publicised at the time - and the agents’ fees on the deal cost the Hammers another £1m.

Together with bonuses and National Insurance contributions, the club can expect to have paid out the thick end of £30m for him by the time his contract has expired at the end of next season.


OOOF!!!!

[steve improper]

so they're complaining about the financial implications of buying a player who broke his leg?!!! jeez...

[joe rose]

seems like messers gold and sullivan need to shake the club up big style. not sure that moaning to the papers is the best way to do that mind, keep it in house chaps.

no I think theyre suggesting he was crocked when they bought him but cos he was in the england team at the time they rushed it through... then he broke his leg and took 2 years to recover

[steve improper]

true, but the first bit and the second are entirely unconnected and to mix the two together is more than a little unfair...

Ha ha ha ha.


And, aren't the wages insured for leg breakages, etc?

soince when where the pornographic pair play fair?

Dyer is one of those new breed of footballers who are athletes but too frail for a physical game - see also M Owen, Owen Hargreaves, Ledley King, Torres etc etc etc ...
