West Ham United co-chairman David Gold hints at Sam Allardyce stay

West Ham United co-chairman David Gold has hinted that Sam Allardyce will stay on as manager of the Premier League club.

The 59-year-old is said to have had a meeting with the club's hierarchy on Tuesday to discuss his future.

Allardyce, who finished the season with the team 13th in the table, was targeted by a number of disgruntled fans throughout the campaign.

However, Gold hinted that Allardyce will stay put when he responded to a fan on Twitter, who claimed that the club won't win silverware with the ex-Bolton Wanderers boss at the helm.

"@bradleywright28: we need to win trophies we won't if Sam stays Birmingham won a trophy and got relegated, careful what you wish 4 dg.

Allardyce was appointed West Ham boss in 2011.
