# West Ham fans call for Sam Allardyce to return until the end of the season

West Ham slumped to yet another defeat on Wednesday evening, with Manchester City running out 2-0 winners in the rearranged fixture.

The Hammers’ awful run of form has seen them [slip to 18th in the Premier League table](https://www.premierleague.com/tables), with only [one win in the league since David Moyes](https://www.premierleague.com/clubs/25/West-Ham-United/results) was appointed as manager.

The defeat to City saw West Ham fail to even manage a single shot on target, with Pep Guardiola’s side proving to be too strong for Moyes’ Hammers.

This has led to several [West Ham fans calling for Moyes to be given the sack](https://readwestham.com/2020/02/20/west-ham-fans-call-for-moyes-to-be-sacked-after-man-city-defeat/), with some now touting Sam Allardyce as a potential replacement.

Since being [sacked as the Hammers boss in 2015](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/sam-allardyce-sacked-west-ham-wait-just-a-few-minutes-after-final-game-to-axe-manager-10273318.html), Allardyce has taken up [roles](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sam-allardyce/profil/trainer/445) with Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Everton, whilst also having a brief stint as the England boss.

Allardyce was sacked on the expiration of his Hammers contract, however, with West Ham now in a desperate situation, several fans have taken to Twitter to call for the former boss to return.
