David Gold wished Robert Snodgrass a happy birthday on Twitter yesterday. But his tweet backfired badly, with many West Ham fans responding, pleading with him to sell up.
In other news…Report: West Ham want to bring international goalkeeper back to the Premier League
The Hammers are in a bit of a state at the moment.
We have sold one of our best young players to a direct Premier League rival and have missed out on some of our top transfer targets to other teams in and around us in the table.
The transfer window doesn’t close until October 5th, so there is still plenty of time for things to change.
But as things stand, it’s not looking good.
The West Ham fans are disillusioned with the way the club is being run. David Sullivan and David Gold continue to make poor decision after poor decision. And it seems as though there has been one PR disaster after another this summer.
Yesterday, Gold posted a tweet wishing Robert Snodgrass a happy 33rd birthday. But it backfired badly.
Robert Snodgrass turns 33 today! Happy Birthday @robsnodgrass7 have a great day. dg pic.twitter.com/y7K8EW7Oga

Many West Ham fans responded by urging the 83-year-old to sell up:
As a birthday present to him can you confirm you’re selling up. #GSBOUT

DG, it is with a heavy heart that I write. You were very welcome in your rescue of the club yrs ago. The yrs have been hard tho. I don’t think that you and DS are able to take the club further, in fact, the club is going back. I’m not renew’g until you sell. I can’t take it.

David can you not please provide us fans some sort of update on what the hell is going on with the running of the club, our club is being destroyed in front of our eyes and as a supposed fan you must see the reason for our anger here. we need answers.

It’s the silence I think is disgusting. We love this club so much and to watch what’s happening is heart breaking. If GSB can’t run this club properly they need to move on and let us fans see the club run as it should be. They don’t know what this club means to us clearly.

Give him a great birthday and sell the club NOT THE PLAYERS!!!!! Sadly I am watching my club fall apart… We don’t own a stadium .. out home was sold… You can’t back a decent manager when you had one LOOK at Bilic now… And to cop it all.. you’ve sold Grady.. SELL UP!!!

He’s more worried about wishing a player happy birthday than perhaps coming out and saying something positive about the club etc

Get your head out the clouds Mr Gold, the masses are gathering and you and your friends have defiantley out stayed your welcome. The legacy you have left is to make a once iconic club become a laughing stock of the football world. No true west Ham fan will ever forget. Time 2 go

This went well Dave, seems well received, nice one.

It will be fair to say DG we the fans ( remember us ) are a little unhappy with what you DS and KB have done to our club and now our young talent is being sold off on the cheap while paying stupid wages to players that care nothing for the club

David Moyes has his work cut-out if he is to achieve success at the London Stadium this season.
The owners can still turn things around by backing the Scot financially. But time is running out.
And Gold must know that as well, judging by the tweets posted above.
