Sixty-eight percent of supporters polled want to  keep David Gold as co-owner and Hammers joint-chairman.

Gold said earlier this week that he would leave West Ham if 86% of fans didn’t want him to remain.

And in twitter poll of 1,358 fans, on Sunday only 32% said they wanted him gone – less than half those who want him to stay.

Gold’s quote of 86% comes from his days at Birmingham when that total said they wanted him gone in a Birmingham Mail newspaper.

The Gold brothers and David Sullivan turned down offers Carson Yeung twice before accepting a take over in 2009.

Gold sold his thirteen percent shareholding for £10m after suffering weeks of abuse at the hands of Birmingham City fans which culminated in the newspaper poll.

The poll backs up findings in the London Stadium survey by 6,365 match going supporters in which 72% said the board were doing an OK, Good or Excellent job with only 28% saying they were doing a poor job at West Ham
