Gold Wants To have His Cake And Eat It!

So, does Gold have his head so far up his arse that he doesn't know what is happening? Before the season kicked off, West Ham seemed to be trying to implement a unilateral wage cap. Quickly realising that this was a sure fire way of returning to the Championship inside of 12 months, the Board splashed cash - and commensurate wages - on Diarra, Jarvis, Benayoun and, most obscenely, Carroll.

Now, with a squad fit to last the course, hopefully, the call goes up to fix a wage cap based on existing salary structures. Is the guy in La La Land? I'm all for putting West Ham's interests first but this is so obviously parochial and biased it can't be true. You can't have your cake and eat it, end of. Either we want to play with the big boys in the top league or we accept our status as a Championship club that enjoys the odd foray into the Premier League.

Gold may want to run the world according to his own agenda but life rarely works like that. Sadly, the Premier League are not porn models who will turn over and take it up the rear to a director's orders!
