Using his newly opened Twitter account Gold said he wished he had “done things differently.”
“This is undoubtedly the worst moment in all the years I’ve been supporting West Ham,” said Gold.
“I honestly believed with the players we brought in in January and the imminent return of [Thomas] Hitzlsperger, we had done enough to pull clear of danger.
“I know that Scotty Parker shared that belief with me and we both had confidence that we would retain our Premiership status.”
