It has now been almost one full week since West Ham officially announced Antonio\u2019s departure<\/a>.<\/p>\n Yet the 35-year-old striker is yet to send a parting message to the club\u2019s fans after a decade playing in the claret and blue.<\/p>\n Players who have served the club over long spells almost always send a goodbye message via the club\u2019s website, a video or social media.<\/p>\n Wait goes on for Antonio\u2019s farewell message to West Ham<\/p>\n At the time of writing, one week after his exit was officially confirmed \u2013 and even longer since Graham Potter confirmed it himself days before \u2013 there has been nothing of the sort from Antonio.<\/p>\n It comes after he snubbed the offer of a short-term pay-as-you-play deal to remain in east London for another year.<\/p>\n West Ham went out and signed Antonio\u2019s friend \u2013 the ageing, injury-prone Callum Wilson \u2013 as his replacement and handed him the Jamaican\u2019s number nine shirt on the same day his departure was confirmed.<\/p>\n Whether that, or the fact West Ham would not give him a new deal after his horror car smash, has Antonio in a sulk remains to be seen.<\/p>\n Perhaps the forward is gathering his thoughts and emotions to find the right words to say goodbye to West Ham.<\/p>\n However, he has had some words for the club\u2019s owners<\/a> \u2013 headed up by David Sullivan<\/a>. And harsh ones at that.<\/p>\n Michail Antonio aimed a brutal parting shot at West Ham<\/a> when asserting that Aleksander Isak is right to push to leave Newcastle for Liverpool.<\/p>\n The striker broke his silence on his Hammers exit this week and suggested the club showed him little loyalty.<\/p>\n The fan favourite also states that the way his West Ham exit panned out proves everything comes down to money in the modern game, saying his departure shows clubs treat players like \u2018meat\u2019.<\/p>\n Antonio had already been making moves towards a punditry career post football.<\/p>\n Jordan savages Antonio for West Ham dig<\/p>\n While he has vowed to continue playing \u2013 and states he has plenty of offers \u2013 Antonio took another step in that direction by joining the TNT Sports football punditry team for the new season.<\/p>\n One man who is a leading voice in that area of the industry is talkSPORT\u2019s Simon Jordan<\/a>.<\/p>\n The pundit seldom minces his words and often uses them to scold his old adversary Sullivan, West Ham\u2019s majority owner.<\/p>\n Jordan makes no secret of his disdain for Sullivan.<\/p>\n So the fact he has now defended the Hammers chief against Antonio speaks volumes.<\/p>\n It comes as Jordan savages Antonio for his dig at West Ham as the wait goes on for his farewell message.<\/p>\n In typical fashion, Jordan pulls no punches telling Antonio he had a good run at West Ham and reminded the striker the club was not to blame for his car crash.<\/p>\n Jordan also says he knows Antonio tried to engineer moves away from the Hammers in the past, asking where his loyalty was on those occasions.<\/p>\n \u201cMichail Antonio\u2019s assertion (about Isak) illustrates a certain thinking,\u201d Jordan said on talkSPORT, which you can watch in full below.<\/p>\n \u201cI think he thinks that perhaps he wasn\u2019t given a new contract by West Ham and he\u2019s equating it to that.<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude21 “A ridiculous, self-indulgent, narcissistic load of old claptrap!”<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude2c “There were times where he wanted to leave #WHUFC<\/a>, where was his loyalty then!?”<\/p>\n Simon Jordan goes in on Michail Antonio for claiming clubs have no loyalty to footballers! \ud83d\ude24 pic.twitter.com\/jZKVVUouuX<\/a><\/p>\n![\"West](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-1142613289-1024x683.jpg\")
