Ince wades into Sullivan

Paul Ince has waded into David Sullivan after his official website comments which appeared to throw Slaven bilic under a bus!

The  Hammers joint chairman claims  Bilic turned down the chance to sign highly-rated potential midfield alternatives Renato Sanches and Grzegorz Krychowiak who joined Swansea and West Brom instead.

Former Hammer Ince said: “I really dislike the comments coming out from the owners.

“They’ve been talking about how they wanted Renato Sanches, but Billic didn’t as he was happy with his squad.

“It’s his team and it’s down to him which players they sign. Whether or not the board wanted Sanches, that’s something which should be kept behind closed doors.

“It’s totally unfair of the board to go broadcasting that – I’m not sure what they are playing at. When you see stuff like that, it’s not really a surprise that the team are struggling.

“I find it pretty miserable to see what’s going on there at the moment.

“It also makes you wonder whether he will get the axe if he doesn’t pick up results pretty quickly. It looks that way to me.

“If I was managing West Ham, and the board came out and spoke about me that way, I wouldn’t be too pleased about it.”
