Alpari’s name remains on Irons shirts
West Ham would be in breach of contract should they unilaterally decided to remove the shirt branding in advance of Sunday’s home game against Hull City.
The club will first hold talks with the administrators before making a decision whether to cancel the existing sponsorship contract.
The levels of losses for Alpari are so huge running, into tens of millions, it is extremely unlikely that the administrators would be able to honor the sponsorship contract with West Ham and pay the next installment of the £4m remaining in the contract.
A senior source close to West Ham told Claret and Hugh “We are looking for replacements, it will take a few weeks. At the moment we can’t even take Alpari off the shirts or the administrator might sue us for breach of contract.”
