West Ham captain Noble in crunch board talks after Diangana rant

West Ham captain Mark Noble has held talks with management after this week's outburst.

The Daily Mail says Noble cleared the air in meetings with owner David Sullivan and vice chairman Karren Brady last Sunday, two days after he angrily criticised their decision to sell winger Grady Diangana to promoted West Bromwich.

In an inflammatory Twitter post Noble said he was "gutted, angry and sad" that Diangana had left after the £18million deal was confirmed last Friday.

The 33-year-old's outburst was a sensitive issue for the club given his standing with supporters, who have become openly hostile towards the ownership since they moved to the London Stadium in 2016.

But rather than discipline him, they opted to clear the air.
