WEST HAM are reportedly keen on bringing Sam Allardyce to Upton Park if results under manager Avram Grant do not improve.

The Guardian claims owners David Sullivan and David Gold are monitoring Allardyce's situation after he was sacked by Blackburn Rovers on Monday.

It has been reported that the chairmen will call Grant into a meeting this week to warn him that results must improve.

Ironically, the Hammers travel to face Allardyce's former team Rovers on Saturday.

West Ham remain rooted to the foot of the Premier League table with just 12 points to their name.

:no:

Manchester United's Brazilian midfielder Anderson has signed a new four-and-a-half year contract.

The 22-year-old joined from Porto in 2007 and has made 110 appearances, despite suffering a serious knee ligament injury last season.

"We are delighted he has signed a new contract," said boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

"Anderson has developed tremendously since joining us and he has fantastic potential at only 22; he is going to be a really top player."

Anderson struggled to make an impact following his arrival at Old Trafford but has become a more important player since recovering from injury, and scored an important goal in the Champions League against Valencia this month.

Good to hear after his recent performances, hope he can keep it up

"This is the best club to be at and I would like to thank everyone for the great support I have received over the years," he said.

Breaking NEWS via CNN.. Luciano Spalletti the coach of Zenit St. Petersburg is set to replace Rafa at Inter... they also said that Rafa will not be with the team on the bench in the next game and then Spalletti will take over after Christmas..

So those of you who were wondering whether Rafa would get fired first or Hodgeson.. It's Rafa who's almost a goner.. I think 'Pool owners will make transfers in the winter and see how the team performs till the end of season (if things don't get too messy) and then decide on keeping Roy or not..

Breaking NEWS via CNN.. Luciano Spalletti the coach of Zenit St. Petersburg is set to replace Rafa at Inter... they also said that Rafa will not be with the team on the bench in the next game and then Spalletti will take over after Christmas..

So those of you who were wondering whether Rafa would get fired first or Hodgeson.. It's Rafa who's almost a goner.. I think 'Pool owners will make transfers in the winter and see how the team performs till the end of season (if things don't get too messy) and then decide on keeping Roy or not..

Inter coach Rafael Benitez has confirmed he has not been sacked, and aims to continue as coach, but he did admit there were signs of tension.

Benitez's Inter future has been plagued by speculation he would be the latest victim to fall foul off Massimo Moratti's law.

That heightened over the weekend when Benitez tested the club's patience with his plea to be given clarity over plans moving forward and into the transfer market.

Widespread reports across Europe prefigured he had already been ousted after returning home to Liverpool.

In fact Benitez is in Merseyside, but still the coach at Inter.

Speaking to Radio Onda Cero on Monday afternoon, the coach said: "I am still the inter coach. I am on holiday and I am surprised by all this sack news. I am still the Inter coach.

"I am not happy with the situation that I am living in with Inter, but I am still the coach and will return to Italy."

Benitez was caught offside when asked what he made of the sack stories.

"I am surprised by all these voices in the papers," he said.

Despite Benitez's claims, there was no vote of confidence when Moratti was prompted to expand on his plans for the coach this morning.

"I don't want to create anyone any drama," said the president.

Meanwhile, Benitez's agent, Manuel Garcia Quilon, was also quick to defend the coach, reiterating that the Spaniard was going nowhere.

He said: "Benitez is under contract with Inter and the situation is the same as it was before. Benitez said what he said and he does not need to explain himself further. I have not been contacted by anyone."

With names such as Fabio Capello and former Roma coach Luciano Spalletti being touted as possible replacements, Benitez position is looking untenable.

He has received support from the head of the Italian Coaches' Association. Renzo Ulivieri told La Repubblica: "He has my support but he doesn't need it because he can stand on his own two feet.

"He is a world club champion. If he asks for respect it's because obviously he has been lacking it. He has only asked for normal things."

I feel sorry for Rafa. Inter have had a crazy amount of injuries this season, and they just haven't invested.

Since Mourinho left they have lot Bolotelli and signed no one. In that time AC Milan have signed the likes of Robinho and Ibrahimovic.

Eto'o is boss though :p

      Opinion. All you did was blame Democrats for everything. You offered nothing but a hit piece to support your pro Trump, anti union right wing ideology.

      By the sounds of that wall of Fox News propaganda gibberish attacking the Democratic Party you've already had plenty of "juices" flowing this morning. You've ruined what could have been a productive comment thread.
    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      (Topic to get the juices flowing this Sunday morning!...) Actually, the situation has almost nothing to do with "lack of skills", especially since assembly-line skills can be taught to anyone, including Americans, certainly. Rather, the inadequacy-to-impossibility of large-scale tech manufacturing in America today, and the reasons why America finds tech manufacturing completely onerous in the 21st century, has to do with politically driven laws amid a plethora of non-scientific, utterly politicized "science-fact" that is patently false, punitive business taxation at every turn, an array of judicial fines of unimaginable scope and complexity, and, last but not least, American unionization strictures that serve to actually slay job creation and hobble all such manufacturing endeavors in America before they can get off the ground. Globalism emerged, they tell us, as the needed answer to American hubris and an unholy American drive to excel. Unless one is buried under mounds of political propaganda, it's easy to see the absurdity of labeling the employees of SpaceX, for instance, as "unskilled labor"... Etc. ad infinitum. At one time in the recent past, American manufacturing prowess was the envy of the world in a wide variety of technical fields! The current federal and state government roadblocks against America becoming competitive globally in tech manufacturing are considerable, it's true, as anyone with a working brain knows. But remarkably, that is only half the story! The other half of the story is, of course, the corporations themselves... Chinese tech manufacturing is simply unassailable in terms of profits, because the Chinese government wants to see its tech manufacturing second-to-none globally so that no companies/nations can compete in terms of ROI, and China has completely succeeded in that goal. Let's tic-off a few things: *Chinese tariff policies are set according to what is considered best for Chinese business, Chinese employees, and the Chinese people. Huge difference with how things are done with tariffs in the US--as the US government (SCOTUS in this case, Congress in others) plainly feels that tariffs are "unfair" for the limited number of citizens who may pay them, whereas nothing is "unfair" when Congress considers the Personal Income Tax rates to be infinitely hike-able, along with infinitely enlarging annual budget deficits. *The Chinese government boldly subsidizes Chinese companies to artificially amplify their profits. *The Chinese government deliberately refuses to avidly demonize Chinese businesses and does not consider Chinese businesses "the enemy", so very unlike American (D)s these days. *Chinese labor laws and businesses are allowed to set their own labor policies according to what Chinese companies consider is best for companies and their employees... Simply put, American workers in tech manufacturing are not allowed to set their own labor policies! * One additional problem corporations have that I also do not sympathize with is they don't want to pay to train their American employees. They could easily do so, but would rather not have to pay for it. I find that pathetic, actually. It is the height of hypocrisy for Americans to decry working conditions in China while simultaneously ensuring that American products are manufactured in China, not in the US, simply to maximize profits. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, of course, absolutely nothing. But there is plenty wrong with attempts to normalize hypocrisy of this kind! But rank hypocrisy and the (D) party in the US are longtime bedfellows... The current government in Washington is working overtime to see if it can toss out the horribly poor, failed economic policies of the past, while the (D)s still in Washington work very hard to bring back the stupidity whenever possible. With the right policies in place, America can be an infinitely competitive manufacturer.
