What West Ham fans chanted at David Sullivan in clash vs Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium
West Ham’s appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo appeared to have hidden the disruption within the Hammers’ ranks.
West Ham fans lined the streets leading to the London Stadium ahead of their game against Crystal Palace in protest against the hierarchy.
Nuno’s appointment had many wondering whether the protests would die down, with the former Nottingham Forest manager a coup for the Irons.
However, West Ham fans are still planning on staging a protest against Newcastle next month, and chants from the away end in the 1-1 draw to Everton weren’t letting up.
‘Sack the board’ chants heard from West Ham fans vs Everton
Everton went ahead 1-0 in the first half thanks to Michael Keane’s header from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s cross.
Konstantinos Mavropanos was at fault for the goal, as he failed to stay with his man following the initial corner.
After plenty of positivity going into the game, the goal brought supporters back down to earth.
West Ham fans were then heard chanting “sack the board”, as they grew impatient with Sullivan.
The Hammers went on to equalise in the second half thanks to Jarrod Bowen.
Frustrations have grown since David Moyes was dismissed 18 months ago, with the Hammers failing to suitably replace him.
A failed summer transfer window and the disrespect shown when Potter was sacked one day after his press conference has increased the disconnect between fans and the owners.
Karren Brady was protective of West Ham’s summer transfer business, saying that they had to sell before they could buy over the summer.
Her comments caused backlash from fans, with a solution to their differences still nowhere to be seen.
West Ham fans to continue protest vs Brentford
The Hammers face Brentford in their next home game following the October international break.
West Ham fans had planned a potential boycott for the fixture, but given that a new manager will be in the dugout, that is unlikely.
However, fans are still planning on showing their unrest at the London Stadium.
Supporters could put on a similar protest against Sullivan and co to the one they did against Crystal Palace last weekend.
Chants of ‘sack the board’ were again heard before the fixture, and banners were displayed.
