No second thoughts on Kouyate

West Ham intend to go ahead with the appeal against Cheik Kouyate’s red card despite Slave Bilic being fed up with FA appeals.

ClaretandHugh was the first to beak the news that an appeal was on the way against Mark Clattenbourg’s game-changing decision against Palace.

And this morning David gold -currently holding an open day for fans at his home – made it clear the club would not be changing its mind on the issue.

Bilic had declared: “”Will we appeal? I am fed up with appealing,” said Bilic.

However, Gold – and it is understood David Sullivan – are determined to get what they consider is justive and Gold said: “No second thoughts – we will be pressing ahead with the appeal.

“It can all become very tiring but this is a crucial last stage of the season and we have to do all we can to keep our best players on the pitch.”

Kouyate had looked tired as he made the challenge and it maybe that the trek from international duty with Senegal found him out in the later stages of the game.

However, there is now little question after Clattenburg’s decision met with a chorus of universal disapproval from all sides, the appeal will go ahead.
