    West Ham's potential relegation will spark an exodus of EIGHT key players as the club deals with the cost of the drop.

    The ramifications of relegation to the Championship have been assessed inside Upton Park.

    And the crucial fact is the Hammers could be forced to completely re-build in the summer as their star players prepare to jump ship and move on.

    Scott Parker is their hottest property. He will inevitably be offered a number of opportunities to stay in the top flight by clubs ready to meet a £10million valuation for the England international midfielder and newly-crowned Footballer of the Year.

    Mark Noble, rated in the £8m class, has already sparked approaches from two Premier League clubs. They will be back in for him if the Hammers slide out of the top flight.

    England keeper Robert Green has admitted he will review his future in the summer, too.

    To add to the Hammers’ woes, striker Demba Ba and midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger have already instructed their agents to find them new clubs in event of the drop.

    And the likes of Matthew Upson, Danny Gabbidon, Jonathan Spector, Kieron Dyer, Zavon Hines, Lars Jacobsen, Anthony Edgar and Victor Obina, who is currently on loan from Inter Milan, are all out of contract. They will have the opportunity to walk away as free agents or face the prospect of new deals on reduced terms to reflect the club’s lower status.

    Wayne Bridge, who was brought in on loan in January, will return to Manchester City. Relegation will ensure there will be no permanent deal for the former England left-back.

    Aside from being weighed down by enormous debt, the club will also be looking to appoint a new manager following the abject reign of Avram Grant.

    The ongoing uncertainty over the future of Neil Warnock at QPR will make the king of promotions a prime target among a list that includes the out-of-work ex-Newcastle boss Chris Hughton, Cardiff’s Dave Jones and Blackpool boss Ian Holloway. The club will try to persuade Martin O’Neill to replace Grant if they manage a miracle and escape relegation.

    Co-owner David Sullivan admitted: “The financial implications of relegations don’t bare thinking about. It’s a nightmare scenario and means we well probably have to inject a loan of between £20m and £40m.

    “Relegation comes at an enormous cost. To say it’s disastrous under the current financial state of the club is an understatement.

    “I have been relegated three times before and gained automatic promotion the following season. But this will hurt the most.

    “We never envisaged being in this position. I can barely sleep at night worrying about this.”

    Parker - Shame, a bloody shame but completely understandable and the bloke sweated blood and guts for us and we would have been down in March without him.

    Green - Likewise, understandable completely and has rarely let the club down at any stage. Country, yes!!!

    Noble - If we got £8m for him I woulfd take it but I don't think anyone would. I also think it will be seen by him as a chance to establish himself fully again and as a possible captain.

    Hitz and Ba - Again, would be nice to keep them but money back and lose the wages would be good enough. The danger of keeping both is theirninjury history-almost better to cash in. Plus they have clauses.

    Lead Boots - fcuk off

    Gabbidon -Stay for £10k a week. Championship standard player so no great loss if he goes.

    Spector - Stay at same as Gabbs. Chumps player at best and we saw enough good this season to risk it. Plus you don't want to empty the whole bath-just throw the bathwater out

    Hines - Nobody will want him above Chumps level. Stay on a pay as play contract! Or better still a goals only Hartson type contract.

    Edgar - Join Uncle Judas on the dole


    Jacobsen - Nice if we kept him for as little as possible! No great loss

    Dyer - Keep for hiring out as an Evil Monkey lookalike, now that Danny from Hearsay no longer rates a decent fee.
