Ljungberg Walks Away For 6 Million
Filed under: Pink Slips, West Ham
He just retired from the International scene after Captaining Sweden at the 2008 Euros and Freddie Ljungberg is an even richer man today after accepting a 6 Million Pound payoff from Premiership side West Ham.
While he was due to make 8.84 Million Pound just in salary alone over the next two seasons, an extended settlement came about over conversations with West Ham Chief Executive Scott Duxbury after Head Coach Alan Curbishley informed the Swede he’d never play again for the Hammers.

Although Freddie’s getting paid, you can’t help thinking that he’s got to feel like a washed up loser right now, which I totally hope is true. The classless jerk deserves some hard times after his claims he left Arsenal because “Titi left” and “the club lacks ambition.” No Freddie, as West Ham just made abundantly clear, it’s just that you lack the physical qualities (read: speed) to play at the top level. I fully expect to see him playing in the UAE soon.
Sure my comments more or less lack any credibility because I’m unabashedly an Arsenal supporter. Do I care? No, I’ll sleep well tonight…
