What is it with West Ham United and it's sponsors and partners? Yet another one has just received extremely bad financial news, this follows the withdrawal of sponsorship due to economic meltdown as far back as holiday company XL and then Alpari the Forex trading company, and we haven't even mentioned the 'biscuit barons'!

Italian businessman Andrea Radrizzani made his fortune in global sports media and completed his takeover of Leeds in May ending the sometimes bizarre three year reign of Massimo Cellino who had a series of disputes, two bans from running the club by the Football League and a ban and a fine from the FA for breaching agent rules.

West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur have been charged by the Football Association with failing to control their players in Saturday's derby at the London Stadium. A statement from the FA said: "It is alleged that in or around the 95th minute of the game, both clubs failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion."

Five players were cautioned by referee Michael Oliver in stoppage time including Andy Carroll, Winston Reid and Andre Ayew for West Ham, with Eric Dier and Fernando Llorente being booked for Spurs.
