West ham could receive reductions of a points for financial breaches but they will surely feel the wrath of the FA, who say they are investigating the tweet.
The west ham club have been furious with a slew of decisions which they believe have gone against them this season.
The latest actions online prompted a damning response from Jamie Carragher, who scolded west ham conduct.
Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: “I get the frustrations, but that rubbish about the VAR is a Tottenham fan? You can’t get involved in that.
“You’ve got to show a little bit of class if you are a football club. I get it, the frustration, the officials have had an awful day, terrible. But you can’t get involved in that. It’s nonsense!”
The 24-year-old Ghanaian international, who opened the scoring with a brilliant strike in the 18th minute, saw his day turn sour after being sent off for violent conduct in the 86th minute following an altercation with Spurs defender Micky van de Ven.
The red card has not only cost Kudus the opportunity to help his team in the next three matches but also brought tension between him and manager Julen Lopetegui back into the spotlight.
The pair had previously clashed during West Ham’s match against Brentford, and Lopetegui has been vocal about his disappointment in Kudus’ recent disciplinary issues.
Lopetegui, while acknowledging Kudus’ solid performance in the first half, expressed frustration over the player’s lack of composure in the crucial moments.
“You’ve got to control frustration in these moments,” the West Ham boss remarked. “Mo had a good match in the first half, but it’s a pity he didn’t stay on the pitch until the end. Despite that one moment happening, we have to avoid these kinds of moments.”
Kudus’ red card, given for hitting van de Ven and another Spurs player, Pape Matar Sarr, after a VAR review, left Lopetegui questioning the player’s focus and discipline. “The red card is not a good thing for him, for us, or for the club,” the manager added.
Despite his recent struggles, Kudus has been one of West Ham’s most dangerous players this season, but his growing frustration could potentially hinder his progress and impact the club’s future matches.
