West Ham’s time under the ownership of David Sullivan, David Gold and Karren Brady has been nothing short of shambolic, and now even Sam Allardyce has piped up and given his thoughts on Sullivan and the way he works during a TalkSPORT interview.
“You’d get the odd present from David Sullivan now and again.”
“A player would just turn up at pre-season! Normally a striker.”
“If they didn’t score it was down to your coaching!”

The former England, Everton and West Ham manager claimed that Sullivan worked in very strange ways, and would give his managers a present, usually just signing a striker for the senior team and then dumping him with the manager at the training.
However, when these moves inevitably didn’t work the Irons’ ex-gaffer claimed that the blame would always lie with the manager for not being able to coach the supposed talent that had been laid at their door, and this is hardly doing anything to get the fans on the board’s side.
Will we sign anyone?
Yes
No

@Denner7s This should be unbelievable, but it actually isn’t even suprising to hear stories like this anymore.

Appalling. Single handedly destroying West Ham. For years I always blamed managers but now I’m seeing a common denominator

The Irons are fuming at their board, and it looks like that won’t change until Sullivan has been forced out.
