West Ham would need to invest heavily to land Rafa Benitez as their new manager for next season should they opt not to renew David Moyes contract. Insiders say the Spaniard earns £6.5m in his current contract at Newcastle and the former Liverpool manager is demanding Mike Ashley pay him £8m per year to extend his stay at St James Part beyond next summer when his contract ends.
The Hammers would need to pay Newcastle at least £6.5m in compensation and offer the Spaniard up to £24m over three years to make the switch to London Stadium meaning an investment of over £30m.
Sam Allardyce used to earn a package of around £3m per year at West Ham although he is said to be paid £6m per year at Everton. Slaven Bilic was also said to be on a £3m per year package with the Hammers including bonuses. David Moyes was said to be on just £15,000 per week costing the Hammers around £400,000 for six months plus a bonus of £1.25m and £2.1m for Premier League survival and final league position.
top managers and players cost money, you want them you pay for them. A simple idea that appears totally lost on our incompetent board
1.25 mil for survival???boy what a waste of money, no wonder Moyes was celebrating ..
Call emergency services. DS has just fainted…..
Benitez or Felani. Hmmmmmmmmmm
Just make sure Moyes is far away from my club after the Everton game, in fact he could travel back with them and discuss with big sam whose the most negative. Benítez is the lazy choice, go for Silva.
Not sure about Silva Dan, seems a bit like Carlos Carvahal good when things are going for him but hasn’t got a clue how to turn things around. Wenger or Tuchel would be my first two picks, if not although he is not the most charismatic I would like to see Moyes given money to spend and a proper pre-season behind him, am fairly certain he would get us 60 – 65 points a season but who knows he is certainly a better manager than BFS with a lot less dodgy off-field activities.
Pay it. End of. And why do people go on about Marco Silva? Overrated and achieved nothing. Brought into Hull to save them from relegation. Failed.
Watford; started well and then got his head turned. Unproven and unpredictable. No thanks.
