Scott Parker has confirmed he wants to stay at West Ham but has warned the club's hierarchy he will not endure another miserable season.[LNB] The Hammers were in real danger of the drop for much of the campaign and only finished with 35 points, five clear of third from bottom Burnley.[LNB]Parker is tied to the Upton Park side until the summer of 2013 and has assured fans of his commitment by stating he is not looking to leave.[LNB]However, the ex-Newcastle and Chelsea midfielder insists the club need to get things right on the pitch.[LNB]Parker is enthused by the prospect of David Gold and David Sullivan strengthening the squad and hopes there are new arrivals this summer.[LNB]"I want to stay here, but that is out of my hands," he told The People.[LNB]"I have had a great season and the fans really appreciate me, but at the same time I want to see the club going in the right way.[LNB]"I certainly don't want to be involved in another season like this. I think stability is the key factor and the club needs massive investment.[LNB]"Hopefully the new owners will do what they have to do, strengthen the squad and we can move forward.[LNB]"It is encouraging that they want to bring in so many new players and hopefully they can do that."
