Reports from a senior West Ham source suggest they know nothing about yesterday’s alleged dressing room incident.
Shortly after West Ham’s 3-0 defeat to newly promoted Sunderland, rumours began to circulate of a bust-up in the away dressing room at the Stadium of Light. Some stories even claimed the police were called, and that as a result, Graham Potter did not re-enter the dressing room or travel back with the players on the coach.
West Ham are understood to have flown to the North East, so whether the speculation points to Potter missing the coach to the airport is unclear. However, it seems highly unlikely that he did not travel back to London with the team.
When asked for clarification, a club insider told Claret & Hugh:
“We have heard nothing. I imagine everybody was very pi@@#d off with each other. We all sat through the second half—it was a very bad performance.”
For now, the rumours of a dressing room bust-up remain unverified—but what is beyond dispute is that the result itself has left tempers frayed and questions unanswered.
I hope they really layed into each other
The poor fans which travelled up deserve a refund
I just hope they can pull together and put that disaster behind them and not put blame on each other because you all were pretty crap to say the least
Let’s look to Friday night and put out a performance that will get us fans rocking again
The fans will be behind you as long as they see you are trying
We have got to play Bowen on the right not part of a front 2 this does not work
It would be disappointing if there wasn’t bust ups in the dressing room after that second half performance. As I imagine there are in every dressing room in the premier league after a 3 nil drubbing.
I heard from “someone in the know” that it was our big German striker who went radio rental in the dressing room over the second half performance. I say good on him if he did because it means he actually gives a sh*t. He’s gone up in my book if this turns out to be true. ⚒⚒⚒
Whatever happened -this one is on potter for picking the awful rodrigeas and james slow prowse in midfield when better options were available
Can Wolves please take Kilman back. Shocking performance from him in the second half. Our new goalkeeper had a very disappointing afternoon. Let’s hope it was just a case of nerves on his debut.
Mr Potter just doesn’t impress me one bit. I think we could be in a spot of bother here!
It’s better we sort out this crap at the beginning of the season than get lulled into a false sense of security with a average start then having to get out of the poo with games running out
Perhaps iit would a good idea if Sullivan was present in dressing room at halftime and final whistle.
Hopefully his hat won’t be covering his ears?
Does he ever take it off?
Sullivan isn’t interested in west ham he’s only in it for the profit he can take! He promised investment and challenging regularly for top six in premier league.The reality is very different, he’s happy for west ham to sit in mid table or below and just take the profits from premier league placing and sky tv and merchandise and season ticket sales.We sell our best players and don’t replace them with young quality players and he expects us to stay in the premier league.SULLIVAN you are completely delusional the premier league is much stronger these days and every team in the current premier league has reinforced in several positions apart from west ham.I think that WEST HAM UNITED will be relegated this season and SULLIVAN will have nobody to blame except himself !!!!
