West Ham co-chairman David Gold has quickly dismissed rumours that Paolo Di Canio could be
making his way back to Upton Park in a manager’s role.
Gold took the sensible option to quash the whispers before it gets out of
hand. Although the Hammers’ favourite is now out of a job, the co-owner
made clear that Sam Allardyce is the manager and that there is no vacancy.
Speaking to SportsDirect News, Gold said: “I want to make this absolutely
clear there is no managerial vacancy for Paolo or anyone else at the club.
There is no job available.
“I understand he is an absolute hero here, but as we have said previously,
we will be holding talks with our manager Sam Allardyce at the end of the
season and that’s exactly where things stand.”
Meanwhile, newspapers continue to assume that all West Ham fans will
disagree with this statement.
David Gold did the right thing in putting an end to the rumours. Unsettling
a team who are already unnerved by a recent bad run is the worst thing West
Ham fans could do. Di Canio one day, yes please, but not yet.
