David Sullivan's comments in the match programme for the Villa
game serve to remind us of the immense financial burden that the
Hammers continue to shoulder as the Blades keep bleeding them for the
compensation award from the Tevez affair. Another 10 million this year for the
ever-disgruntled Blades to waste on earnest lower league types so they can grind
out results on rainy Tuesday evenings at Hartlepool and Scunthorpe….ZZZZZZ.... No wonder their fans can't let go of the past.

However, the figures revealed seem totally incongruous beside the
outrageous monies that were linked to the Andy Carroll deal
and leave one wondering what's really going on financially behind the scenes at
Fortress Boleyn. There can be no doubting that the two Davids have brought much
needed financial shrewdness to the club, but sometimes it’s impossible to make
sense of all the speculation about transfer bids etc. Is Andy Carroll really
that (£80K a week) good? Can someone who looks like a roadie for Status Quo really help sell that many jerseys?

On a brighter note, in these worrying times when Man City have seized the premiership title like some sordid business acquisition, the Blades
stunning demise since they were awarded the 24 million emphasises that money
alone does not guarantee success. Wouldn’t it be delicious to draw them in one
of the cup competitions?
