Without knowing all the details it would be unfair to 'jump on' Andriy Yarmolenko's case until all the facts are known, but what is clear is that the FA rarely bring charges unless they have substantiated evidence. Yarmolenko has been charged with alleged misconduct in relation to a betting commercial. The charge concerns a 'potential' breach of FA Rule E8.5, which says that players are 'not permitted to advertise or promote any betting activity that they are prohibited from engaging in'.

It might disappoint the doom merchants to know that Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City transfer target Declan Rice has made it known that as far as he is concerned ANY talk regarding him leaving the club OR him signing a new contract is to be put on the back burner until at least next summer, as the brilliant and highly sought after England midfielder wants to 'concentrate' on helping Hammers finish as high as they can in the Premier League as well as going as far as possible in the Europa League Cup as well as the FA Cup.

Even Doris the Tea Lady has come in for a battering because of West Ham's dreadful January transfer window, and she retired FIVE years ago! The club's lack of any successful transfer activity has made it a laughing stock as it approaches the 2nd part of the season, the "we tried but ultimately failed" message received is being treated with the absolute contempt it deserves.
