The long shadow of Sam Allardyce continues to hang over in trouble Premier League clubs… and that could mean West Ham. As the Irons look around for a Slaven Bilic replacement, nobody inside the London Stadium is ruling out the possibility and now it seems the man himself may be on the brink of a U-turn. After announcing his retirement from club football when leaving Palace, the former Irons boss made it clear he had no further interest in managing at club level but could be tempted by an international team. However, it now seems that he could possibly be back in Premier League football after being questioned about his future and with the Irons known to have looked in his direction nothing should be ruled out at this stage. Appearing on beIN Sports, Allardyce was asked primarily about any possible interest from himself should Everton come calling. His response was interesting given his previous ‘complete retirement’ from managing at club level as he said: ‘Who knows? I’d have to consider that, if that phone call happens. They know what the problems are. They just perhaps want a bit of guidance now to rectify those problems.
‘I’ve been in this position a number of times in the last three clubs I’ve had and I just put the team back to basics.’
