Sullivan has a conspiracy theory

Sullivan reckons there's a 75% chance that we will go down and reckons there's already an escape committee in the dressing room, digging a tunnel to ensure an escape from the Championship Colditz. Moaning that the players are spoilt, he asks, "How do you motivate millionaires?"

A very interesting question is posed when Sullivan asks if Grant should risk selecting players who are already plotting where they will be playing next season, suggesting that they may not show the necessary passion and commitment to win the final three crucial games to secure our survival.

Sullivan asks, "It’s a very difficult decision. Do you go for players who are committed to the club? If you look at that last game and someone is on a Bosman, will that player risk injury? Some will, some won’t. It depends on the mentality of the player.” You can guess who he is thinking of here, with Upson's contract expiring in the summer.

He pulls no punches when he adds, "I think a lot of the players at West Ham will not want to play in that division. I don’t think it’s going to be easy and you need players who are proven in that division plus some young players who are fearless and who have the energy to play 46 games a season. We have some players who find 38 games very difficult." That only just stops short of accusing certain members of the squad of being lazy bastards!

There's talk of bringing in two 25 goal strikers which is a bit worrying. It's midfielders and defenders we need, something that the Davids have failed to grasp since their arrival.
