West Ham's McCarthy Blunder

Would you believe it? McBenni has turned down an offer of £1million to buy out his contract! That's outrageous. On £43,000 a week for another two years, he stands to pocket £4.5million - so he must have taken leave of his senses to pass up the opportunity of trousering one million up front! Not!!!! Let's face it, he would then have to find himself another club and they might actually expect him to maintain a healthy diet, train hard and play!

There's only one solution to the McBenni problem, let him eat himself to death. We should open a burger franchise in the Boleyn and let Benni eat all the profits. I'd give him six months on an exclusive eat as much as you like cheeseburger and fries diet!

Franco has gone, Diamanti has gone, Daprela has gone, Mido has gone, Tristan has gone, Savio has gone, Di Michele has gone, Jimenez has gone, Ilan has gone but a mighty Zola and Clarke legacy remains, in the form of Kovac, da Costa and Benni McCarthy! If you wanted the ultimate indictment of a management era, you have it in those three!
