Hmm, the mischief makers can't resist a free hit at West Ham's expense, by opening up the 'Declan Rice unhappy' story, yet again. 'Declan Rice is ready to run down his West Ham contract amid interest from Man Utd as the midfielder feels his £100 price tag has prevented him from securing a move away, the 22-year-old feels as though his £100m valuation has priced him out of a move away and is now ready to run down his current deal', reports the Telegraph.

Working in London does at times feels like it drags a little bit with the exorbitant costs of virtually everything, the endless tube journeys, bus rides sat in hectic yet stationary traffic, and living in a city together with such a sheer mass of people despite its numerous beautiful green parks and nature reserves.

Most Hammers fans view media 'observations' like "a snip at £24 Million" with a certain degree of sardonic humour, during the Pellegrini era such sums seemed a mere Bagatelle for him and his brown envelope loving head of recruitment Husillos. Unfortunately the club is now in the middle of paying for those excesses and questionable fees incurred during their profligacy, at the worst possible time due to the fiscal fall out from the Covid Pandemic.
