Young Hammers may switch to Manchester United

You think you have read just about everything negative about West Ham this weekend then you read something by Paul Merson writing in the Daily Star. The former disgraced Arsenal player has suggested young West Ham fans will switch to Manchester United if problems continue at the London Stadium.

“Fans are fighting amongst themselves and kids have been leaving the ground in tears. Their mums and dads won’t take them in future if it carries on like that.”  Merson wrote in his Daily Star column 

“If they’re not careful, before you know it, those kids will be supporting Manchester United, and West Ham will not be drawing 60,000 crowds any more. I heard fans on the radio saying it’s been carnage there. One of them took his little boy and the lad was just saying: “They’re fighting over there dad… and over there…” That’s not right. Those kids are the future of West Ham. You can’t have them scared to be in the ground. It doesn’t sound like the stewards are up to it and the club are lucky.”

“They haven’t even played a big club yet. What’s going to happen when Chelsea or Tottenham visit? They need to get a grip of this quickly or it’s going to be a disaster.”
