Ipswich Town winger Alan Quinn will not be one of the players reportedly suing West Ham.
Quinn was with Sheffield United when they were controversially relegated and it has been suggested in the wake of the Carlos Tevez affair that players affected would look for compensation from the London club after missing out on bonuses and wages they would have received by staying in the Premier League.
But Quinn insisted: “I've read the stories but don't know anything more about it. It's not something I'm considering doing."
After playing his part in helping town to a 3-0 win over Barnsley, Quinn is hoping Town can extend their unbeaten run to six when they visit Charlton this weekend.
He said: “It was great to get three points.

Quinn said: “Their goalkeeper gave us two goals but at least we took advantage and scored goals from his mistakes.
"The lads at the back did well and they had a busy night against Barnsley.
