Hammers stars set for huge financial bonus

West Ham’s players are in line to share a bonus of at least £7million if they can gatecrash the Champions League places.

The Mirror’s Darren Lewis – who yesterday appeared both here and on our ClaretandHugh interview section of  MooreThanJust aPodcast – has revealed the huge financial jackpot the players could  share.

He writes: “After  a run of just one win in five they have now won their last three League games as the battle for a qualifying place for next season’s elite European club competition hots up.”

And he repeats our story of yesterday in which we revealed the huge cash bonanza if they can see their shock top four challenge through.

As we explained: “Last season’s 12th place saw us pick up £11.2million in Premier League prize money whereas a top four placing could see that nearly double.”.
