DG loses cool in new Twitter row
The co chairman has found himself caught up more and more in the downside of Twitter over recent days after being criticised for comments about injuries not helping a dismal showing at QPR.
But this morning (Thurs) he snapped at a follower who decided to use the hashtag #jokeclub .
It had read: We’re gonna finish 12th, all because our depth in the squad and lack of good management @davidgold #joke club.
The co chairman responded: “I am tired of this. We are not a “joke club” we are a GREAT club going though a difficult time. dg
That opened the floodgates with a mass of responses pouring in – most claiming the problem laid with Sam Allardyce’s continuing management.
One said: “You’re ‘tired of all this’? Sack Allardyce tomorrow and you’d have the fans back inside instantly. Problem solved.
Other said: @davidgold @sportmurphy a weak manager makes our club a joke. We need a strong figurehead for when we get to OS – Sam is not our man #actnow
@davidgold @sportmurphy As an outsider if West ham had made a decision on Big sam +everyone new what was happening they would of been top 8

@davidgold @sportmurphy even if we had messi,sam would still start cole ahead of him. We will never go forward with sam.get rid asap
@davidgold @sportmurphy if your tired of it, get rid of Sam, simple Ashley. #DT38 @WestHamFan3 11 hours ago
@davidgold @sportmurphy keeping Allardyce next season will pretty much mean we have to have him at the OS, complete lack of ambition.
Later DG returned to the subject to declare in one tweet: “When 87% of the fans ask us to go, as they did at Birmingham and next time be careful what you wish for. dg
And his latest he adds: “I don’t get shirty when fans question my judgement but I do get upset when they say that our club is a “joke” dg
