Tony Carr redundancy – the fans react

The news that Tony Carr has been offered just £14,00o redundancy payment after 43 years with the whole process handled by faceless HR people has been met with huge disappointment and shame by West Ham fans.

Even the chairman’s son Jack Sullivan took to twitter to say “I would like to say Not everything the club does, I agree with and I have no role or say at the West Ham. I only tweet news and my view! Personally, I’m not sure I agree with it! He should have a role here for life. I will speak to ds in the morning”

A West Ham called Paul on twitter wrote “Absolutely disgraceful ! Mr Gold, Mr Sullivan, act NOW….and do the RIGHT THING !”  Another fan wrote “Absolute disgrace, especially with all the money flying around and what he’s made the club in player talent/sales “

Stephen Madden posted “If the Daily Mail article is true about Tony Carr & £14k, hang your head in shame”

Sam Wood tweeted David Gold and the Sullivan boys saying “Sort out Tony Carr’s redundancy pay – less than 20% of Carrols weekly wage! Shameful”

Ian Hawkins said “That’s a propper shocker West Ham , after all those years of amazing service – omg , can’t believe you’d do it”

Steven James added “This is absolutely outrageous. How can a club legend that helped make millions be treated like this.”

One supporter has created a crowd funding page to match Tony’s £14,000 payment from the club with £415 raised already from fans. https://crowdfunding.justgiving.com/tonycarr
