Snodgrass responds to Sullivan slur

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”
