Dimitri Payet has been ruled out for three months with ankle ligament damage, the France international suffered the injury to his left ankle after a horror tackle from Everton's James McCarthy in the first half of Saturday's 1-1 draw at the Boleyn Ground. Payet has been Hammer's main man since his £10.75 Million arrival from Marseille in the summer and will be sorely missed while he recovers from the surgery that he now requires.

West Ham United have revealed their financial figures for the year, which while full of positives also confirms the absolute necessity of staying in the Barclays Premier League ahead of the move to the Queen Elizabeth Stadium. Karren Brady as much confirmed this in a press statement, and a closer look at the figures show just how much the board have pushed the boat out to ensure survival. All talk of reaching the Champions League will be put on hold until Hammers have reached the 40 points believed to be required. -Ed
