Tony Fernandes has hit back at West Ham owners David Sullivan and David Gold after his bid to buy the club was criticised.
Fernandes, the Malaysian businessman behind AirAsia and the Lotus Formula One team, announced yesterday he had submitted an offer for the club he supports. But Sullivan told the Standard yesterday: "Tony Fernandes wanted to buy 51% of the club for two bob."
Fernandes, though, fired back with a series of messages on Twitter.
"Make up your mind sullivan and gold. One minute you say no offer then you say its a joke offer. It was a good offer with good money and brought in good people."
Three follow-up messages said: "Gold and sulivan can say whatever they want. I have been a lifelong fan and would have brought good money, good ideas, new people and a new belief.
"As for PR stunts. Wow. They are always in the press making huge claims. Were we not supposed to be in europe. Now we have been relegated. 2 sacked managers. All good players will be sold.
"No new training ground which is the most important ingredient I feel. Look at how many injuries we have. And more investment into the academy."
Fernandes first expressed an interest in taking over West Ham in 2009 but he lost out on that occasion to Sullivan and his business partner David Gold.
