Robert Snodgrass has told the Daily Express that any hostility between himself and co-owner David Sullivan’s son Jack is in the past, after last season’s intriguing comments about the West Ham midfielder.

Co-owner Sullivan Tweeted last season – during Snodgrass’ loan at Championship side Aston Villa – that his “kids begged me not to sign Robert Snodgrass”, before the Scotland international joined the club from Hull City.

The Tweet sparked a huge outcry of criticising fans on social media, and Snodgrass has since returned to West Ham to shine under the guidance of Manuel Pellegrini after an impressive loan spell with Villa.

Snodgrass gave a long interview to the Express and he said that there are no hard feelings between himself and Jack Sullivan, stating that he works with the co-owner’s son on a “day-to-day basis”.

“There has never been anything in terms of any sort of problem. I see the chairman’s son on a day-to-day basis. I am only here to play football,” Snodgrass said.

David’s son Jack is currently the managing director of the West Ham women’s team, while Sullivan continues to co-own the club alongside David Gold after taking over in 2010 following a stint as chairman at Birmingham City.

Snodgrass, meanwhile, has scored two goals and created four more in his 15 league and cup appearances this season – starting the Hammers’ last four Premier League outings.

He is expected to feature in claret and blue this weekend, as the Hammers go up against Premier League champions Manchester City at the London Stadium on Saturday.
