    Think the writing is on the wall for Fat Sam. If he goes, WH will definitely consider Harry.

    Whether Harry goes may depend on what happens this transfer window. I suspect he feels, rightly or wrongly, that the team doesn't quite have what is necessary to get into the automatic places this season, which may be frustrating him.

    It's interesting when asked whether he'd take the WH job that he didn't squash the idea flat. Saying he wouldn't be offered the job in the first place is hardly the same.

    Whilst I'm not a HR hater like some on here, I wouldn't be gutted if this happened. Out with HR, in with Malky MacKay.

    The former Hammers boss is rated by some British bookmakers at 33/1 to replace the beleaguered Sam Allardyce at Upton Park, but insists he is happy in west London

    Harry Redknapp has reaffirmed his commitment to QPR after being installed as the favourite to take over as West Ham boss.

    Sam Allardyce is under severe pressure at Upton Park, with the London club languishing in the Premier League relegation zone.

    Injury-hit West Ham were also dumped out of the FA Cup at the third round stage with a humiliating 5-0 defeat at Championship side Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
    WEST HAM LATEST
    3/10 Sam Allardyce is 3/10 with Betway to be the next Premier League manager to leave his post

    Redknapp has been installed as the favourite to replace Allardyce with British bookmakers, but the 66-year-old has played down the likelihood of returning for a second spell as West Ham boss.

    He told getwestlondon.co.uk: "I don't know where they get their stupid odds from. I wouldn't take 33/1!

    "They [West Ham] have got a good manager in Sam, so I don't see that happening. I'm very happy managing QPR and lucky to be at such a good club."

    Allardyce met West Ham co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold and vice-chairman Karren Brady last week, but he denied he had been summoned for crisis talks.

    Sullivan and Gold have since given him their backing in a lengthy open letter published on the club's website on Monday.

    In the letter, they acknowledged the "seriousness of our current predicament" but urged supporters to stick behind Allardyce and his team.

    "We know Sam has not lost his ambition or desire and is committed to making West Ham United a great Premier League Club," it continued.

    Allardyce has had a host of injuries to contend with and dipped into the transfer market to sign Wolves defender Roger Johnson on loan for the rest of the season on Monday, with more new arrivals expected before the end of the transfer window.

    I dont trust a word he says, hes not exactly true to his word about anything is he? He often lies about players, transfers etc so theres no reason to believe he wont go there.

    So now the "reporters" takes Harry's own odds of 33/1 and makes up yet another story.

    You couldn't make it up....whoops they just did.

    Did you read the 2nd link? He admits lying and you have to be incredibly gullible if you don't believe he is a dodgy bloke.

    A mate of mine who is well in with a couple of West Ham staff says the Harry story is a smokescreen and that the Pornbrokers real target is Malky Mackay a former West Ham player. Expect him to be in if West Ham are humiliated at Man City...

    I don't think he can work as he's suing them and cannot work until that is sorted, basically he won't get his payoff if he gets another job.

    MAn City isn't the game, it's Cardiff at the weekend that'll probably be the decider for Sam's West Ham future, although he's been unlucky with a huge first XI injury list, some of the stuff written on here is just laughable, to say a couple of pornographers with assets near £1b at a Premiership club with an average crowd of 35,000, about to move into a huge (free) stadium have less money than a championship club with about 2/3rds of the attendence that had to sell a raft of players to balance the books, c'mon, get real.

    Oh, I can't really see this happenening

    That stadium will be a huge white elephant, who wants to watch a football match where you can be 100m from the nearest touchline?

    Even their fans don't want to go there. It wouldn't surprise me if they got lower attendance's after a couple of years.

    Probably not too wise to get into an argument about who's owners are the wealthiest mate...................google our owners, Fernandes and Mittal.

    Oh...........I don't think it's very likely either.

    I have read it and thats your evidence. He lied to a muck raking journo. Was he found guilty of any of the charges related to this case? My god if thats your evidence then thats as sound a reasoning as drowning witches for withcraft to see if they float.

    Couple of weeks ago you said you don't like him, but wouldn't want him sacked mid season?

    I said we probably can't sack him. I'd like him gone but realise we cannot do it with the exception of letting him go to another job.

    I'd be over the moon if he resigned right now.

    It's not about the owners it's about the club, he's already stated publicly he won't try and buy success like the other billionaire owners have, much like his F1 team which is the worst on the grid. Talk is cheap.

    And Flyer, you do realise they are changing the seating don't you? What do you think the conversion is for? And as for the fans not wanting to go there, says who? most are in favour of it, only a vocal few are against it the public vote by season ticket holders was massively in favour.
