West Ham Joint Chairman David Gold has made an apology after his latest social media faux pas last night.
The 83 year old Hammers owner liked a tweet which referred to Caroline Flack who tragically took her own life at the weekend. His like has since been deleted after his apology.
The original tweet from @MikespaceChat read “I think West Ham are okay, we have a new big stadium, a board that support to the best of their ability (limited) and players who need some kinda support. I get abused every other day for my opinions. If I was Caroline (weak) I’d of topped myself!….”
David Gold said: “I apologise unreservedly for liking a tweet last night that I shouldn’t have. It was never my intention to condone the sentiment expressed in the second half of it. I hastily pressed ‘like’ and very much regret doing so. I will be making a donation to Heads Together to recognise their important work.”
David Gold has made a number of naive gaffs on Twitter over the years which have received intense media attention. Maybe the time is right for him to retire his social media presence.
Must every mistake in the World be castigated? What has the World come to when what someone says or does on bloody Twitter is newsworthy…?
Agree completely.
If you have never regretted a decision, stand up you liar.
If that is the worst thibg he does this week then he will have had no cause for apology
I think the time is right for him to retire Hugh and his social media presence… they way he is so biased and only moderates the posts that agree with him is shamefu
