Latest West Ham United news

Sam Allardyce insists that he has restored his reputation as a top manager by taking West Ham straight back into the Premier League.
Sam Allardyce did not have to field the question. He knew that it would have been forthcoming in defeat. "Sam, do you fear the sack?" The West Ham manager has lived on the edge of a knife since last August, when the season began with a home loss to Cardiff. Failure here would have felt fatal. Instead, joy and relief made for a heady cocktail. After a trying campaign in which Allardyce has struggled at times for East End hearts and purist minds, he can at last look forward with optimism.
West Ham co-owner David Gold believes their Championship play-off final success against Blackpool has brought 'pride' back to the club.
