"'The West Ham Way' is obviously not winning every week, like I tried to do! I did everything they asked for and they wanted more" says ex-boss
Sam Allardyce has branded West Ham's owners "ungrateful".
He has also dismissed his former employers' chances of qualifying for Europe this season but admits his own lack of faith in the squad may have dashed his chances of getting a new Hammers contract.
Allardyce, 60, has lifted the lid on his summer exit after four seasons in charge at Upton Park, telling beIN Sports: "'The West Ham Way' is obviously not winning every week, like I tried to do!
"I did everything they asked for and they wanted more, and I found that extremely ungrateful in terms of what I'd done for them.
"They thought we could get into Europe [West Ham DID play in Europe this season but only after winning a place in the first qualifying round of the Europa League via the Fair Play Table] and thought they might be able to get to a cup final, and that wasn't in the format of the job description when I started.
"I don't take kindly to people who don't appreciate what you do for them.
"We both decided to part company in quite an amicable way in the end, but I certainly wasn't going to stay, in my mind, for a long, long time.
"If [West Ham co-owners] David Sullivan and David Gold have told [new manager] Slaven Bilic that they expect to get into Europe this year then I think it's way beyond the capabilities of the squad at this moment in time.
"I told them that. Perhaps that's one of the reasons why they didn't renew my contract in the end?
"West Ham was a case of building a broken football club back up again. [Getting West Ham promoted] was the biggest job I had done in one season.
"Ultimately, my biggest problem was finishing tenth in the first year [back in the Premier League] — I would have been much better off finishing fourth from bottom!"
Allardyce's West Ham reign has left him convinced the days of managers ruling a club from top to bottom are over.
He added: "A manager today is fast becoming something owners don't want. They [owners] are in charge of the football club and want to see it flourish and the days of the manager being the almighty, dominant power like they used to be are long, long gone and you must build a relationship and understand."

If the West Ham way was not winning every week, then the second half of last season would've seen him get a 5 year contract with bells on.

and any club that sits in the top 4 after half the seasons fixtures, is capable of getting a Europa spot.

He got us promoted with the strongest squad in the league on the strength of one play-off final goal.
And he is making heavy weather of it as well. What a cunt.

If the second half of last season is what he calls trying to win every game then we have done a great job of offloading the arrogant prick.
To be honest maybe most of us are a little ungrateful as he done exactly what was asked of him and he got us back on track but fuck me his football style is an absolute abomination.

The team at Arsenal said everything about Bilic that Allardyce would never get ;
play the best players on face value.
Don't play the fave oldies like Nolan, Jarvis, Collins etc. just because they "did a job" years ago.

"'The West Ham Way' is obviously not winning every week
1) he's right, it isn't - it's playing positive football, on the the floor- win lose or draw the fans will be happy if it's entertaining and the players put in the effort
2) sorry Sam, but your point is moot, you certainly did not win every week, in fact, many games you set up for a draw rather than a win.
I actually was not in the anti Sam camp but these comments have grated on me, sour grapes are oozing out of his pores in this article.

I'd expect plenty of this from Allardyce throughout the season. Just imagine what he'll say if we have a dodgy run of results

I do love how he keeps harping on about how he'd made he's own mind up ages ago that he wasn't going to stay.
Every man and his dog knows if G & S had said "here's a 3 year contract, you're the man to lead us I to the Olympic Stadium" he would have bitten their arm off.
Mutual agreement my arse.

He really is fucking deluded. I would fucking love him to get another job and we play them and absolutely smash them. Doesn't his lick arse friends ever stop for one minute and wonder why he is "unappreciated" by every fucking club he has been at. Pig headed wanker of a man who is solely in it for himself. Has no idea what fans want and thinks he gets the better of us but low and behold you fat fuck, fans win in the end and you get the boot. Horrible man and his reign is a blot on the landscape of West Ham and I couldn't give a bollox about promotion, he ain't the first to get us up. Anti football, lining his pockets, no idea about youth football and no idea how to harness skill on the pitch.
