Fans ignored as owners stick with ­Allardyce

WEST HAM fans are “disappointed” the club is sticking with Sam Allardyce and feel their views have been ignored by the club’s owners, says the editor of a prominent Hammers fanzine.

The club announced yesterday that Allardyce will remain as manager for the start of next season but must accept “improvements,” including a commitment to a more positive style of play.

Allardyce has been told by joint chairmen David Gold and David Sullivan to aim for “at least a top-10 finish” but supporters remain unconvinced.

“There is certainly a lot of disappointment and a feeling the fans haven’t been listened to,” said David Blackmore, editor of the Blowing Bubbles Fanzine.

“Gold and Sullivan are talking about ‘the West Ham Way’ but the more you look at it the more it seems the Allardyce way is never going to be ‘the West Ham Way’.”
