    From SSN:
    Sky Sports News understands that West Ham United want permission to interview Sam Allardyce, Avram Grant, Dave Jones and Ian Holloway over the managerial vacancy at Upton Park.

    http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11685_6159226,00.html

    What do you make of this?
    Personally I'd love to see Holloway or Grant take the reins,not keen at all on Big Sam or Jones.

    I'm not keen on you getting Sam Allardyce either, he has taken us from the brink of relegation to 10th this season in 17 months and brought in a well-known highly rated French defender for 3.5mill and a previously unknown 19 year old from a relegated Ligue 2 team for 500k who became our player of the season.

    No way Big Sam is going anywhere and I'm happy about that.

    Yeah I was a bit surprised when I saw his name alright,don't know why he'd want to leave Blackburn really.

    Yeah would be surprised to see Big Sam leave, he still has a job to do at Blackburn. Would love it to me Holloway just for the stuff he comes out with. The premiership is missing an entertaining manager.

    You're having a laugh surely? Give him a job because he has a colourful mouth. Please. I'd like to see Avram Grant given a shot at it.

    The club needs stability, stability that comes from a manager with premiership experience imo.

    With a bit of luck , Holloway will be in the premiership next year anyway.
    I doubt many will want to work for the two owners as they seem like total turds

    He won a big case for unfair dismissal against West Ham so he probably can't work until that contract is out of date.

    The only real question here is which one of the 3 big mouthed stooges who run WHU leaked this to the media. My moneys on it being O' Sullivan.

    Grant would be a good appointment and very attainable

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Yes. Unheard of before we took him. What a bargain at 500k.
