Big Clive to leave West Ham
Quote:
West Ham have announced that they are releasing 10 senior players, including Paolo Di Canio, Lee Bowyer and Nigel Winterburn. But the Irons have made an offer to Les Ferdinand - one of four players whose contracts had expired. The 10 players being released are Di Canio, Bowyer, Gary Breen, Eduoard Cisse - who has been on loan for a year - Clive Delaney, Izzie Iriekpen, Scott Minto, John Moncur, Raimond van der Gouw and Nigel Winterburn. But the Hammers want to keep Ferdinand, who scored two goals in 14 games after signing from Tottenham in January, and three other players - Scottish Under-21 midfielder David Noble, Eire youth international midfielder Daryl McMahon and England Under-21 keeper Steve Bywater.
