Fan told to ‘go to hell’

-

Fulham vice-chairman Tony Khan told a fan to ‘‘go to hell’’ in a tweet after the 2-1 loss to Burnley left the London club with only one win in nine English Premier League games. Khan tried to ease concerns of fans by promising ‘‘multiple signings to improve the squad’’ in the January transfer window while stressing on Twitter: ‘‘It’s on our players now to fight, finish & win.’’ But the son of American owner Shad Khan reacted angrily to one supporter responding: ‘‘Leave my club please.’’ Tony Khan, who is director of football operations at Fulham, replied : ‘‘Never. I’ll die at this club. Go to hell.’’ Responding to criticism over the tone of his tweet, Khan complained the fan was among those who ‘‘give no credit when things go well, including giving me stick immediatel­y after promotion.’’
