Il West Ham ( supporters in foto ), invischiato nella lotta per non retrocedere, ha inviato alla lega calcio inglese un esposto nel quale lamenta l’ampio turn-over effettuato dal Fulham in occasione della sfida persa contro l’ Hull City. I “Cottagers”, in verità, hanno rinunciato a diversi titolari avendo alle porte la gara di Europa League disputata e vinta ieri contro il Wolfsburg ma il successo agevole dei “Tigers” pare non sia piaciuto agli “Hammers” che hanno visto aggravarsi la propria posizione già pericolante.

Craig Fagan scored Hull’s second goal on Saturday

The Premier League have confirmed they have received a complaint from West Ham over Fulham’s decision to rest players for last Saturday’s match against Hull.

Fulham left out Bobby Zamora, Danny Murphy, Aaron Hughes, Dickson Etuhu and Damien Duff for a game they lost 2-0.Manager Roy Hodgson made the decision with one eye on Thursday’s Europa League match with Wolfsburg and said Fulham “have no case to answer”.Hull are in the final relegation spot, level on points with West Ham.”Firstly I do not think West Ham should be picking our team and I think that is a fairly obvious statement,” said Hodgson.

606: DEBATE As a West Ham fan I would like to apologise for our actions, I think it is extremely poor to complain TomkinsWorldClass

“My conscience is perfectly clear on the subject and we do not have a case to answer.”We chose a team comprising a player just sold for £10m [Chris Smalling] and a South African international [Kagisho Dikgacoi], and replaced Bobby Zamora with Clint Dempsey, a United States international.”I can’t understand why, if you have a large squad, it’s not allowed for you to change things around. I can’t imagine anyone questioning Liverpool, Manchester United or Chelsea for using all the players in their squad.”

And Hodgson has found support from Wigan boss Roberto Martinez, who described West Ham’s action as “foolish”.

For anyone to criticise another football club when they are in such outstanding form is very foolish Wigan manager Roberto Martine

“As a manager you always make decisions that can help your team,” said Martinez.”Roy Hodgson and Fulham have had such a successful season, they know exactly what they have got behind the scenes and know what they need.”For anyone to criticise another football club when they are in such outstanding form is very foolish.

“Roy Hodgson has got to make the decisions to help his team achieve their aims for the season.”A Premier League spokesman added: “We can confirm that we have received an official complaint from West Ham over this matter.”We will now ask Fulham for their observations and then the Premier League board will then consider what actions, if any, are appropriate.”This is not the first time this season that a team selection has caused a row in the Premier League.
