Irons owners face Foxes cold shoulder as row drags on

West Ham’s owners face being seated away from the Leicester City boardroom as the Foxes owners refuse to forgive or forget their long term feud with the Hammers.

The Mirror reports that the possible move may come after remarks by Karren Brady in a newspaper column regarding the Foxes’ owner, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

The West Ham vice chairman claimed Srivaddhanaprabha casually spent around £500,000 on wine after sacking Claudio Ranieri last February after the former Chelsea boss made Leicester champions.

Although the comment was light-hearted, the Midlanders took offence and despite an unreserved apology the midlands club then refused to enter into negotiations with West Ham over striker Islam Slimani during the January transfer window.

Now according to the Mirror “Hammers chiefs are now bracing themselves for the cold shoulder on Saturday” but report they have no intention of sidestepping the game but have no idea where they will be seated or how they will be received.
