Sam Allardyce will stay on as West Ham manager next season but must produce "more entertainment" on the field, the Premier League club said on Tuesday. After lengthy clear-the-air talks with the West Ham board, Allardyce was also told he must aim for "at least a top-ten finish" next season. West Ham struggled to avoid relegation in the just-completed season and Allardyce was targeted by supporters over his direct style of play and signings who failed to shine. A statement released by the club said: "After listening to feedback from supporters, the board have insisted on improvements to the set-up of the playing and backroom staff to ensure the team provides more entertainment next season." A number of Allardyce's high-profile signings, including Andy Carroll, Stewart Downing and Matt Jarvis failed to make a significant impact. Source: AFP
