Surely West Ham have the right not to pay him either? If I refuse to work, I know that I wouldnt get paid for it!

True, shows so bad mentality from player. Maybe something else is going on behind back doors that he doesnt like, offers turned down? The non existing ability to buy someone decent?

And also, West Ham has been a mess of a club, its one club that I cant understand what kind of transfers they want or have in mind about the club itself.

If they lose Payet and Antonio they are going down. Sad that Bryam joined this club and didint stay with Leeds.

he was already known to have a bad mentality and has been far from a model professional he has tried to drive transfers before and missed training to try and make them happen and fought with teammates on the pitch. It's the reason West Ham got him for a cheap price realative to his abilities

What an absolute disgrace Dimitri Payet is.

In an ideal World West Ham would just sit him for the remainder of his contract.

"But until he changes his attitude he is out of the team and he's not going to train with us."

It would seem to be their plan but I would hardly call sitting Payet and paying him £125k a week is ideal for west ham

Yup. We sadly don't live in an ideal World and you can't realistically do that unless money's no object to you which it very rarely is.

As iam suggested, one would think this would be a serious breach of his contract and they could punish him to the maximum in the interim.

But the longer he's not playing, the longer both his value depreciates and they end up paying good money after bad in his salary.

Gone WAY too far the other way the PL era to put most all the power in the players hands.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Graham Taylor.

Never liked his brand of footie like but he done wonders for Watford. To go from the fourth division to the first in 5 years, finishing runner-up that first season up and getting into Europe, along with a Cup Final the following year is just a crazy mad achievement and quite the legacy.

And he gave the World one of the most naturally gifted English footballers of all time in John Barnes which I'll personally be eternally grateful for.

God rest.
 
You jelly guyz? :D
It looks absolutely amazing. The only thing that slightly "bothers" me is the asymmetry at the entrance :D

We don't have enough information. There's an important distinction to be made. There's a difference between refusing to play and not wanting to play. The quotes we've seen so far only imply that he didn't want to play. So far it's just media hype and spin. We don't know all the facts. I wouldn't want to play for for West Ham if I were could. Could you really blame him? If he refuses to play then that's an unprofessional breach of contract. Then I would agree with the general sentiment here.
 
Idk what the idiots at Chelsea were doing. They could have just waited and got a free stadium off the taxpayer.

Apart from the video of his manager flat out saying it of course.

Dimitri Payet does not want to play for West Ham, says Slaven Bilic - BBC Sport

"We have said we don't want to sell our best players but Payet does not want to play for us," Bilic said. "We are not going to sell him."

Does not want doesn't mean flat out rejecting. People do things they don't want to all the time. Although it wouldn't be surprising if he did reject playing, we don't have the evidence.

50 secs in, "he refused to play for us"
 
See, that's what I like about Premier League, at least clubs don't shy away from funding their own stadiums.

Here the owners often organize supporters into pressure groups that push the cities into essentially funding stadiums for private enterprise. It's ******* bullshit.
