West Ham United club announcement

We are very sad today to say that manager Sam Allardyce has left the club, after the club reached an agreement to let him go. This was after the Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua contacted us.

We are very sad to see Mr Allardyce leave the club, after he guided us to a fantastic promotion from the Championship last season. We wish him all the best for his future in China and any future endeavours.

The club will appoint Sir Dave Brailsford as manager.

Good luck Joe =)

You sit here today as the brand new manager of West Ham United, how pleased are you to have been given this job?
I am delighted that the board have entrusted me with the role of manager at this club. I am very pleased that I have the chance to take over here.

How would you say you try to make your team play? What style will the West Ham and Premier League fans be expecting to see?
I like to play with a very strong attacking style, with a very strong base at the back. I will be hoping to play a 4-2-3-1 in the style of Bayern Munich or like Chelsea have been playing recently.

What competition would you say you will be focusing in? Are you looking for a cup run to Europe or a respectable league position after being promoted?
I would ove to have a cup run, but the league is my priority at the moment. It's great if we can have a run going alongside ourselves in the league, but I would like to secure ourselves in the Premier League.

Do you know roughly who is in your plans for first-team football this season?
Yes, I have a rough idea of who will use this upcoming season. That is all will say for now. Thank you.

Should be interesting! Although I think you should have used the editor and made people like Chris Hoy and Vicky Pendleton as fitness coaches, and then hire them

Great start to it Joe! I've always wanted a West Ham United career and here you please my demands! Again!
