Anton Hits Back

Anton Ferdinand has hit back at West Ham's claim that they had to sell him because he refused a new contract. Ferdinand says he was offered a new contract by West Ham but the offer was withdrawn as soon as Sunderland made an offer for him.

Obviously it is hard to know the truth about the situation but Ferdinand's take on events does tally with rumours that the owners were desperate to take £6-7 million out of the club.
