Happy Sullivan pleased for Slav

David Sullivan has sent a big message to manager Slaven Bilic  in his latest ‘From the Boardroom’ column on the official site.

Following the brilliant victory over Middlesbrough he said:” Like you, I was a very proud West Ham United fan at the Riverside Stadium.

Not only did the team win for the fifth time in seven Premier League matches, continuing our fantastic recent form, but they did so as a team.

Slaven has really got the team playing for one another and I am pleased for him, for the players and most of all for the fans.

The whole team played well, both defensively and in attack, and we could have scored more than the three goals we did against one of the Premier League’s best defences.

We are now in the top half and just a few points behind Everton in seventh. Our recent run means we are looking up rather than down and I hope we can ensure that is the case for the rest of the season.

The supporters were absolutely magnificent, as ever, and I want to thank every single one of you for travelling such a long way to cheer the team on.”
