Betway says Sorry to Slav & Antonio

West Ham’s shirt sponsor Betway has apologised for a comment on social media when one of their passionate writers on twitter passed comment on Michail Antonnio’s performance as a right back on Monday night against Chelsea. The unknown writer posted “Antonio has been an accident waiting to happen in defence,West Ham fans will hope that’s the end of the experiment.”

It was what all West Ham fans were thinking but I guess the club would be expecting the principle sponsors to tow the party line and not criticise the manager publicly over his selection. The post was retweeted nearly five hundred times and liked by 516 people. Later the betting company apologised saying “We have a team of passionate writer who provide impartial opinion across all sports. Betway acknowledges that this particular tweet is inappropriate in light of our relationship with West Ham United, of which we are extremely proud.  We would like to apologise to Michail, Slaven and the club for any offence caused.”

As the old saying goes there no such thing as bad publicly. Well done Betway we were all thinking it!
