West Ham owner David Gold has been slammed for liking a controversial post mocking his club’s fans, and it’s gone down badly on social media.
Hammers fans are currently venting out their frustration at the owners with the club looking at facing a massive relegation battle this season unless results improve.
On this day in 2010 David Gold and David Sullivan set their sights to destroy West Ham

Things were initially looking good for West Ham during Saturday’s match after being 2-0 up against Brighton by half time and 3-1 up by the 57th minute, only to throw away their two goal lead and were left clinging on for a 3-3 draw by the end.
That result saw David Moyes’ side drop into the bottom three of the Premier League table, following a run of five games without a win.
It comes against the backdrop of angry fan protests against the board with another planned for the next home game against Southampton.

After a relatively positive transfer deadline day, where they signed Hull goalscorer Jarrod Bowen, one West Ham fan took to Twitter to defend the owners and criticised his fellow supporters.
Gold liked a tweet from @claretbluetrue that read: “Well done to the three Davids.
“Funny how the moron contingent have gone quiet tonight as yet again in a highly competitive market the board have spent big.”
David Gold's @davidgold decision to like the following tweet shows an appalling lack of judgment and understanding for the way West Ham fans feel.

Gold was soon criticised for his “like”, which was seen by 200,000 followers, with WHUISA branding it an “appalling lack of judgment.”
They said: “David Gold’s decision to like the following tweet shows an appalling lack of judgement and understanding for the way West Ham fans feel.
“Calling us morons is never OK.”
Fans continued to give their reaction on Twitter after the West Ham owner David Gold was slammed for liking the controversial post…
He should just delete his Twitter, full stop.

They need to go. No ifs no buts. They are so far out of their depth it’s untrue

I think pretty much every decision they've ever made at West Ham has shown "an appalling lack of judgement and understanding for the way West Ham fans feel"

The arrogance to presume a couple of new players is enough to forget about the whole tin pot organisation they run

Pathetic old man

The board have invested in their business to attempt to stay up earning £120m… they didn’t do it I the necessary areas in the summer, and left it to the last week of the window to see if we’d pick up enough points to stay up so they didn’t have to spend.
Mug!

What people are overlooking majorly but I think it’s more just acceptance of defeat.
If we somehow manage to stay up. It’s going to cost an awful lot to sort this shit out. Something I can’t see them doing so it’s either this summer or next we get relegated.

Have you literally missed the last two weeks of serious journos, ex players, commentators and even friends of the board, destroying any narrative that these owners are anything but tinpot clueless spivs.

Imagine the owner of your club liking a tweet that calls the fans morons ???? Please fuck off you dirty cunt #GSBOUT

This would be easier to take if our malaise wasn't down to Gold, Sullivan and Brady all being thicker than a submarine door

The board hate the fans we are just cash cows to be milked but they do hold us all in utter contempt.
