Noble: Bilic can take West Ham to next level

West Ham United captain Mark Noble feels the coming season will be the biggest in their history.

Noble insists new boss Slaven Bilic can finish the work of Sam Allardyce by bringing the glory days back to east London ahead of the club's money-spinning move to the Olympic Stadium.

Noble, 28, said: "The club, in the last four years under Sam, from the Championship, we have a strong base.

"The chairman and the gaffer are together and the club feels like a proper club now – not a circus act.

"This season we're going into is one of the biggest in the club's history.

"The money we're spending is a sign we want to go into the new stadium as a solid Premier League team that wants to move up.

"We get 35,000 a week and we want to get in 20 more thousand. I'm confident we can do it.

"Once we get our squad together, we can really push on and become a team capable of playing in this year's League and moving to the stadium a solid team."
