Are the Beckhams blowing this hotdog stand?

They came, they saw, they got homesick -- but are they about to bail out on the American dream? Rumor has it that the hard knock life here in the States is wearing thin on the high profile couple and they might decide to move back across the pond sooner than anticipated. Clearly, the Beckhams' plans for US domination haven't panned out the way they expected.For starters -- even though she promises that her men's jeans won't show off guys' junk -- Posh's clothing line dVb
isn't doing so hot. After being expected to bring in about $50M in sales at this point, the line has done a disappointing $15M. That's 70% lower than expected -- ouch! Maybe she should try some crotchless men's jeans, she couldn't do much worse. Reportedly, her tour with the Spice Girls only stirred up more discontent with her yankee lifestyle.
Beck's American experience has also been a bit of downer, since injuries have kept him off the field for all but 5 games last season. I guess it gave him plenty of time to think about why the hell he's playing for the LA Galaxy. Oh yeah, it must the $250M contract. According to PopCrunch, both Posh and Beck are disillusioned and "would much rather be living in the UK."
