West Ham, who have been reportedly looking to replace Sam Allardyce in the summer with names such as Klopp, Moyes and Howe mentioned in relation to what is expected to be a vacancy find that Sam will not be convinced to stay on in his post if such an offer was made.
Allardyce’s contract at West Ham comes to an end in the summer and he has signalled that his future does not exist in East London but has indicated that he has offers in England and abroad. West Ham it seems have no clear successor with what are reported to be their preferred managers having signalled that they are not available according to reports in the Telegraph.
West Ham though are an attractive proposition for managers with ambition. The club are expected to compete in the Europa League and are just 12 months away from a new home at the Olympic Stadium in Stratford which could put them amongst the biggest attended clubs in England with a standard 54,000 seat capacity stadium.
Other names mentioned who could be approached to replace Allardyce include Slaven Bilic, Rafael Benitez and Michael Laudrup.
Fulham looks to be the club that Sam Allardyce will pick up the reigns of after a four year spell at West Ham who he helped to promotion from the Championship according to the report.
West Ham have insisted that a two year deal was presented recently which Sam Allardyce declined which leaves West Ham with the problem of selecting a new manager that will have to guide the Hammers through a potentially tricky season. West Ham seem likely to have the extra demands of the Europa League stretching the squad and club whilst not losing sight of the need to simply survive in the Premier League before taking up their new residency.
The Hammers made a fantastic start to the season but have found injuries up-front to Carroll and Sakho has severely blunted their prospects in recent games but they are still in the hunt for a top 10 finish and qualification for the Europa League via a fair play league if they finish above Everton.
