West Ham's joint owner David Sullivan has slammed the club's former owners and the present state of English football.
Sullivan believes a wage cap in the game would help keep clubs solvent and he also slams mega-rich owners and greedy players for bringing the game down.
"There was a reality coming in until Chelsea, then West Ham broke the line and now Man City," Sullivan told the BBC.
"After Chelsea there was some levelling off then the Icelandics come to West Ham and it was madness what they paid people relative to what they're worth.
"I think they (wealthy owners) are bad for football. The ultimate solution would be a wage cap. I've always been against it but I'm starting to swing towards it, like they have in America in American Football. My partner David (Gold) doesn't believe it. But I think it's the only way of putting a cap on and keeping clubs solvent.
"There could be a formula that could work. The wages are out of all proportion with the turnover of the clubs and I think, somehow, there should be some control."
