West Ham co-owner David Sullivan urges fans to pull together
Saturday 10 February 2018 13:48, UK
West Ham co-owner David Sullivan admits he has made mistakes during his reign, but insists he only wants the best for the club and has urged the fans to pull together.
The Hammers have endured a tough 2017-18 campaign so far, with manager Slaven Bilic sacked in November and replaced by David Moyes.
Moyes has overseen something of an improvement in results but, although West Ham sit 12th in the Premier League table heading into this weekend's fixtures, they are still only three points outside the relegation zone.
In a wide-ranging interview on West Ham TV, Sullivan urged supporters to stick together and get behind the team over the last 12 games of the season.
Sullivan said: "I want to speak directly to our supporters and say how important it is that we all pull together during these times.
