    It's 15m with us lot paying all the rest.

    They do however have serious debts which I think are 50/50 between the current lot and the icelandics. Apparently those debts have to be cleared before they move into the OS. Not West Ham saying that is a need. I think it is in the contract :)

    From what I've read if they didn't get back up in the first season like they did last time they could be in serious trouble even if they went down to cheaper L1/Champ players!!!

    Will be very hard to shift some of their players due to their wages even if they were on frees.

    TBH Sam may well be the visible problem but the David's are like old fashioned chairmen predicting glory whilst trying to do things as cheaply as possible and failing to fulfil neither prediction or the budget. The role models in this country for the future and FPP are ourselves, Arsenal, Swansea and Aston Villa.

    All 4 are looking to younger players and building for the future rather than the constant turnover of highly paid players that move from club to club every 1,2,3 years. Much more of a long term option.

    Also from what I hear the Davids are quite open in stating that they are looking to sell after the OS move (for a heft profit of course.) That doesn't look to good now :)

    London political types are about to discuss what happens to the Olympic stad if West Ham go down. Unlikely to improve the situation for the Hammers.

    If they are talking about moving the goal posts , how about making the ones the hammers are trying to score against twice the size , and the ones they are defending half the size ?

    That won't work Jasper. Carroll is coming back so they'll need to be trebled!

    Can't believe Fat Sam is thinking of playing Carroll tomorrow. He only came back to training this week. He's been out months!

    He'll soon be back in the saddle, once he has the bit between his teeth.

    I hope his return doesn't stir (r) up any trouble for us and spur them on to victory when we play them!

    They are all jockeying for position. Think this race could go to the wire even photo-finish.

    The going is not looking good for west ham. I see a few hurdles in their way and they seem a furlong or two from safety :)
