Sullivan defends Biesla

Chairman’s son Jack Sullivan has rushed to defend Marcelo Bielsa on social media after a West Ham fan claimed the Marseilles boss was the wrong man for the Irons manager’s job.

Adam Leatherbarrow tweeted  David Gold and the Sullivan boys stating ‘Bielsa is the wrong man for our club. Big no no. Try Carlo Ancellotti’

Young Jack replied ‘Belisa is a great manger in my [Opinion], [Did] very well at Marseille!!’

When the tweet was highlighted by other fans as to who might replace Allardyce this summer, Sullivan junior moved quickly to pour cold water on the rumour mill, insisting he was just speaking his own mind.

The youngster simply added: “Don’t read into it. My opinion.”
