Michail Antonio’s Shocking Confession: Did He Secretly Hope West Ham Would Be Relegated?
West Ham’s highest Premier League goalscorer has lashed out at the Hammers after a sour end to his playing days in East London.
Michail Antonio revealed to Capital XTRA that he “wanted West Ham to get relegated” in the aftermath of his release from the Hammers.
That sequence of events occurred after Antonio sustained injuries in a car crash in December 2024 – a horror event that eventually led to his release from West Ham.
Michail Antonio: ‘You know what, I want the club to get relegated’
The crash, which Antonio described as near-fatal, led to a prolonged period of rehabilitation for the former Hammers man, who tops their goalscoring charts.
His consistent availability and strike tally was partially responsible for the debt he felt West Ham owed him in the aftermath of the crash – Antonio was released from the club in June 2025 upon the expiration of his contract.
