Sullivan: 'Payet didn't speak to anybody for six weeks'

West Ham joint-chairman David Sullivan says he considered leaving Dimitri Payet in the reserves for six months, but manager Slaven Bilic and the rest of the squad wanted the Frenchman gone.

Sullivan revealed the 29-year-old did not speak to anyone in his last six to eight weeks at the club, but did surrender his January wages in a bid to force through a return to Marseille.
