Zola knew nothing of Dorrans bid
Gianfranco Zola has hit out at West Ham's owners for undermining his position after admitting he knew nothing of the bid for Graham Dorrans.[LNB] Zola will not confirm his plans for the summer until the end of the season - but his relationship with David Sullivan and David Gold appears to have passed the point of no return.[LNB]The Italian was stunned to learn that West Ham had lodged a £4million bid for West Brom and Scotland midfielder Dorrans - a player he had never even spoken about.[LNB]And Zola was equally surprised when Sullivan revealed in an interview that every member of the Hammers squad had been put up for sale, bar Scott Parker.[LNB]"I just found out in the newspapers. It was quite a surprise," he said.[LNB]"I know he (Dorrans) is a good player and had a very good season but I didn't know the club was interested in him.[LNB]"He is a good player but I am not prepared to say at the moment whether he would be in my interests for next year.[LNB]"If I was Mark Noble or Robert Green or Valon Behrami I wouldn't be very pleased to hear that (I had been put up for sale). I didn't know.[LNB]"It is not pleasant. You don't like it but this is the way it goes.[LNB]"I have been surprised so many times this year - so I am not surprised that I am surprised."
