Worth pointing out that Quansah’s “crime” is the same in FIFA terms as Folarin Balogun’s - serious foul play. Quansah’s one-game ban has been extended to two. Balogun’s was suspended for 12 months when Donald Trump made a phone call.
This isn’t how I imagined ending the season.
Not with West Ham. Not with the Czech Republic. And certainly not with an injury.
I’m sorry we couldn’t give our fans the moments and results you deserved. That hurts me more than anything.
The good thing about football is that there’s always another challenge waiting. A new season is almost here, bringing a new opportunity to put things right.
For 12 years as a professional, I’ve been lucky enough to avoid a serious injury. Now I have to face a challenge I haven’t faced before. But everyone who knows me knows one thing.
I never give up!
This injury doesn’t change my mindset. If anything, it makes me even more determined. I’ll use these next few weeks/months to work, recover and come back stronger. As a player, as a teammate and as a person.
Since the season ended, I’ve only had one thing on my mind. West Ham United. This club means so much to me and I’m ready to do everything I can in helping get it back to where it belongs; to the English Premier League.
For the immediate future, I’ll support the boys off the pitch whilst I rehabilitate. Then once back, I’ll give everything I have on the pitch, fighting alongside the boys once again.
COYI!
As for the international team, I need some time to think about my future.
I’m deeply disappointed with how our World Cup campaign ended. I know we are capable of much more in every aspect than we showed, and that’s one of the biggest reasons why this disappointment is so difficult to accept.
Representing the Czech Republic has always been the greatest honour of my career. That’s why I don’t want to make any decision in the heat of the moment. I’ll take the time to reflect and decide what’s best for everyone.
One thing is certain.
I’ll be back.
Stronger. Hungrier. More determined than ever.
Thank you for standing by me through everything. Your support means more than words can say. ❤️
@ijagould@WestHam@JacobSteinberg What gets me is just looks how easy it was to do this, says it all that the last regime never done it, this is probably the happiest ive been (other than prague) in years, one step at a time but this is arguably the most important one to take ⚒️
Dont no where i stand with this test side anymore, i feel the whole thing needs ripping up from top to bottom, Root/Archer/Duckett/brook are probably the only 4 id keep,Baz/Key should go, they have probably put together the worst side in my lifetime
@twill_94 West ham where in the same bracket a few years back and they are bigger than newcastle and villa, its a completely broken system, saying that villa only have themselves to blame as they could have relegated spurs if they didnt roll over.
🚨The Independent Football Regulator has contacted West Ham and says it will 'use our statutory powers to seek urgent information from David Sullivan relating to his suitability under our Owners, Directors and Senior Executives regime'.
🗣️Sullivan denies any wrongdoing
🔄Reminder: The IFR has power to force a sale as a 'last resort'

We've got our club back.
I want nothing associated with the Sullivan era to remain. We can't change the stadium (yet) but we can change the badge.
Bring the heritage back.
BRING IT NOW.
I could honestly cry.
This is the best news we all could’ve wished for.
First Brady, now Sullivan.
It’s worth the relegation, it’s worth losing whatever players we lose.
Now we get our club back and build it back up.
Momentous day in our history.
Now justice MUST be served.
Dont agree/Dont disagree, he has been there through the whole time so im slightly skeptical but he has also been tied up via not having the final say, maybe when he is in full charge we might start to see much needed change.
It may sound absurd, but the manner in the way things have unfolded at @westham make it seem like Daniel Křetínský is East London's Dark Knight. Unconventional. But essentially saving the fans from more of the same with Sullivan. #whufc#coyi@FanSided https://t.co/OHKN6iEK0E
Hierarchy’s failures and mismanagement doomed West Ham to relegation, a fate that was sealed after Spurs’ victory against Everton.
