    Realistically, Allardyce was just there to keep Everton up and was never going to get a second season with his tainted reputation. West Ham are deluding themselves again if they think they're going to get a better manager than Moyes who's better off out of there.

    West Ham are keen to investigate the possibility of approaching Rafael Benitez to become their new manager.

    Benitez still has 12 months remaining on his current Newcastle contract.

    However, the former Liverpool boss is yet to commit to an extension as he wants guarantees about funding after guiding Newcastle to a 10th place finish in their first season back in the Premier League.

    And that could offer West Ham the encouragement needed to make an official approach.

    It was confirmed that David Moyes definitely won't be in charge at the London stadium next term.
