West Ham player Robert Snodgrass has responded a newspaper article in which Club Chairman David Sullivan says his kids begged him not to sign Robert Snodgrass and Jose Fonte.
Sullivan told the Guardian “The manager says he wants Fonte from Southampton and Snodgrass from Hull. My kids begged me not to sign them.”
Snodgrass has since been shipped out on loan to Aston Villa while Fonte has been out injured since the end of October.
Snodgrass appeared to see the funny side by responding on twitter “Everyone tagging me in this like your all surprised Thanks for your support MR CHAIRMAN”
Its why he’s called a dildo snods lol!. Hes a master at stabbing players in the back , ask sakho and Adrian and now you and fonte ! Yes it didn’t work out ! And fonte will be on his way as well now more than likely !
In all honesty Sullivan is a low life excuse making bullshyter and who in their right mind would like to come and be employed by the cretin ! No loyalty ! No nothing ! Just a gobby braindead little ike with no class ? 😎
Don’t hold back Laz. lol. I agree totally about our owners.
You’d expect these comments from a teenager or Donald Trump not a chairman of a football club. Poor form.
Would love to see Snoddy back at WHU but that’s not going to happen.
+1
Don’t like either bloke so they can both sod off and I’ll have a pint of bothered please.
Me to but you’re chairman shouldn’t air this in public , he’s a wrong un 😈
Yes I wish he would just be quiet like most chairmen! Don’t see Chairmen of Chelsea Roman Arsenal Manchester’s anyone really doing this.
Circus is gone right….
Sullivan earns more than the 57,000 that pack in to the stadium each game…. he obviously doesn’t give a monkey’s as to what damage he’s causing the club. I reckon he’s out to jettison the 50 – 70 year old fan base and it trying to show Andy Swallow who’s in charge.
Ffs they are still our players Sully Fonte has had decent season out on injury. And Snodgrass was bought for wrong position. But could use a clause to get back in Jan but wouldn’t come anyway! This will help us attract players in January!
New recruitment strategy!
I don’t see it working!
This is dead out of order and symptomatic of what’s wrong with West Ham. Snodgrass and Fonte are still West Ham players and here’s the Chairman going in the Press and making slurs against his own players!
Is Sullivan the full ticket? It’s behaviour like this that makes you wonder about his mental facility. I know he’s supposed to have a personality disorder but this sort of thing makes you wonder if it’s more than that!
Snodgrass was badly treated by Bilic, he didn’t know how to use him (unbelievably!) and eventually more and more marginalised. We’d all seen Snodgrass play against us for Hull earlier on in the Season and he played really well. He crossed the ball well and was a dead ball specialist – an almost perfect replacement in these departments for Payet you’d have thought – but he was marginalised and eventually given the bums rush and now this slur from the Chairman – it’s almost unbelievable!
….. and Fonte coming from Southampton as the Captain of the current European Champions – and just starting to play well on the right of a three-man defence – and now this slur from his own Chairman – unbelievable!
Has Sullivan forgotten he’s still our player? I’ll say it again – unbelievable!
When will Sullivan learn to just keep his mouth shut? Every time he opens it he sullies (pun intended) our reputation further. The man has no class and even less idea. What sort of moron insults players still in our books, players who have done nothing wrong?
He also needs to know we don’t give a toss about his two, none too bright, self entitled, arrogant, ignorant offspring. So Jack has spent a whole week in each department and now has an opinion on everyone? Heaven preserve us. If only Sullivan senior was smart enough to realise the stupidity of his own comments and how it confirms the worst impressions we have of his son. Now it is Dave Junior’s turn to start work at the club and become an overnight expert and professional arbiter on the competence of seasoned professionals?
Sean and Hugh, what is holding you back? Isn’t it time for a poll on what fans think of our illustrious owners? Whether we want them and Brady at our club at all?
I’ve mentioned the possibility of a poll a few times. Total silence is the response, quelle surprise😗
What an imbecile is old boy Sullivan..
Take one look at him, and it seems like a cruel neurosurgeon took a scalpel to his frontal cortex when he was just a kid.
To add insult to injury, Jack & David Jnr are eminently stupid as well.
The thought of one and/or both of these imbeciles becoming Chairmen is a real worry.
They couldn’t manage a dog to **** on a telegraph pole.
Small man syndrome more likely Max! Laz said it all. Our club is run by porno-barrow boys who just don’t know when to keep their big mouths shut. What possible benefit is there to anyone in making a statement like this, other than a thinly veiled attempt to once again blame Slav for signings. Abd lest we forget, Fonte was starting to get there before his injury. What is he thinking now? Where is his motivation? Sullivan does a dis-service to clowns! Sooner his kids tell him to sell up and muck off the better!
It’s an age thing . Old people tend to say things without really thinking about it because they don’t realize the consequences or in some cases even care about them . With some old folk it’s a case of , I can what I want because I’m old . We shouldn’t take it seriously and neither should Snodgrass or Fonte .
Cheap owners, cheap ground, cheap manager and loads of bluster and bull**** 🤔 Welcome to West Ham London the global brand that just keeps on getting bigger and bigger and will soon take over from the big boys 😂😂 F**king joke
Pass that lemon drizzle cake round GW 😂
Wasn’t that sully counting his Penny’s in the corner at the last parish meeting vibrating on a 4
year olds stool , his vision of a next level is a breakfast bar stool lol. 😂😂
Not one fan sticking up for them, says it all really
Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from Gold. When will he learn to shut up? To talk about things within the club including current employees and ex ones is a travesty.
What? Has Gold been at it too!
They’ve been rumbled mate. Bit too late though ! 😎
Honestly, you have to read the complete article.
Steinberg set Sully up brilliantly. He’s allowed the snake to come out with some pretty crass comments and obvious 🐂💩, on the record!
Try denying some of those comments when questioned on them in the future!
Plus there’s more on Twitter that didn’t make the article!
I think things are about to get very interesting!
