Premier League Strugglers advised to Approach West Ham boss

Allardyce for QPR?

Allardyce has enjoyed an impressive season in charge of West Ham but his long-term future at Upton Park is uncertain, with the 60-year-old out of contract in the summer and yet to hold talks about a new deal.

 

Murphy is baffled by the east London club’s failure to tie down their experienced boss, and claims he would be the perfect man to succeed Harry Redknapp at struggling QPR.

“The reasons why he hasn’t got a contract [at West Ham] so far are not in the public domain and I think it is a strange one to be honest,” said Murphy, speaking on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.

“If they did want to tie him down, it shouldn’t be that difficult just to get it done. I personally think what he has done at West Ham this season has been brilliant. 

“He has adapted a little bit the way they play, he mixes it up nicely now, has made some brilliant signings, the club is moving forward - why would you want to change the management?”

Asked if QPR should make an approach, he said: “Yeah. Why not? He is proven at keeping teams in the Premier league.

“Would he leave West Ham to go to QPR? I’m not sure, but anybody who is fighting down the bottom would do well getting a better appointment than Big Sam.”
