West Ham owner blames Spurs chairman Daniel Levy for poor atmosphere

Tough times at West Ham

It has so far been a struggle of a season at West Ham and Hammers supporters are wondering if things will even get better.

Slaven Bilic’s sacking does not appear to have brought about the “new manager bounce” that can often occur.

David Moyes has overseen a loss at Watford followed by a home draw with Leicester on Friday night.

To say the next game is big for Moyes and West Ham is an understatement, with a return to his old stomping ground against fellow Premier League strugglers Everton.

David Gold & David Sullivan feeling the pressure

Following the Moyes appointment, both David Gold and David Sullivan, the West Ham co-owners, have been under pressure.

The West Ham fans at Watford were very vocal about what they think of Gold and Sullivan.

And, judging by David Gold’s timeline on Twitter today, the West Ham co-chairman is also very conscious about what the club’s fans think of their owners.

Gold has retweeted a number of positive messages about West Ham, generally about how fans need to get behind the players during these tough times.

David Gold still clearly hates Tottenham

One Tweet retweeted by Gold, was at the end of a long thread regarding the atmosphere at the London Stadium.

Many West Ham fans feel that leaving Upton Park was a huge mistake, especially as the atmosphere at the London Stadium isn’t great, due to the distance between the fans and the pitch.

The Tweet retweeted by Gold infers that had Spurs and Leyton Orient chairmen Daniel Levy and Barry Hearn not got in the way of West Ham, the layout of the London Stadium could have been changed.

Were West Ham to own the London Stadium in the coming years, it will be fascinating to see if the layout of the ground changes at all.

We expect Spurs fans will enjoy their club’s role in how West Ham ended up at the London Stadium in its current format.

I also believe and I will say again HAD LEVY & HEARN not tried to hijack the bid and destroy our credibility etc we would have a significantly different layout .. our fans seem to forget this — Tiddy (@NeilTidd1969) November 26, 2017

I don't like the owners, think Moyes appointment was pony but they are both there and won't be going anywhere until the end of the season at least so are you going to turn on your club or support them?? I know what I'm gunna do! — The Boleyn WHUFC ⚒ (@boleyn_the) November 25, 2017

The negative bell ends are a minority.

Great improvement last night. — 10 pints bob (@10pintsbob) November 25, 2017

Fans were the difference, you could visibly see how much the backing of the fans improved the performance of the players and if any team was going to win it was West Ham, just a shame we got off to a slow start and conceded a scrappy goal so early — Jordan Camp (@JordanCampo) November 25, 2017
