POLL: 87pc want new West Ham boss

Nearly 87 per cent of West Ham fans voting in a poll of managerial candidates want a change from Sam Allardyce!

ClaretandHugh this morning sent the results of the poll to David Sullivan and David Gold as they muse the 60 year old’s end of season position.

The poll was our biggest ever attracting a total of 2464 votes and was launched just before Jurgen Klopp’s availability became known.

The response to a ClaretandHugh story making it clear the Hammers had been in touch with the German produced some of the biggest “traffic” of the year suggesting he would have top of the poll.

But of those named the result was as follows  (in terms of vote percentages):

1/Rafa Benitez 24.23 per cent

2/ Slaven Bilic 21.1 per cent

3/Marcelo Bielsa 19.68 per cent

4/ Sam Allardyce 13.35 per cent

5/David Moyes 9.74 per cent

6/ Eddie Howe 7.83 per cent

7/ Roberto Di Matteo 4.06

The result was very much in line with a poll which closed last Friday night over at www.westhamworld.co.uk where the present manager was relegated to righth place in a list of managerial candidate,
