Zola committed to West Ham job, despite cut-backs

Gianfranco Zola insists he's committed to West Ham United.

Zola blasted the club's owners for letting slip plans for 25 per cent pay-cuts across the board at the end of the season.

But the Italian insisted he would not be walking out on the club.

"I am what I am and I believe in what I do and I think we can produce good results," he said. "I am too connected and tied up to the players. I have a relationship with them and the supporters. I do not like to leave a situation unfinished.

"The players are focused on the job. We had a quick chat to remind them that our job is to play football and score goals.

"I am not here for the money. Last year when I signed a contract I didn't even know how much I was going to earn.

"I had a plan and a project and I liked what I was going to do. It's not about money. It is about working for something positive. I always enjoy working for this club. The money was something that came after."
