'Big, rough northerner' Allardyce wasn't right for West Ham supporters - Redknapp

Former QPR and Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp believes Sam Allardyce wasn't the right personal to lead West Ham United.

Following the culmination of the Premier League season, Allardyce amicably departed his post with the Hammers after spending four years at the club.

"Sam Allardyce was always the wrong kind of manager for the owners and the fans at West Ham," Redknapp told KICCA.

"I just think that Sam didn't sit with the owners. He's not how they see their manager. Sam's a big, rough northerner.

"He's done a great job wherever he goes but I don't think there's any love lost there between the manager and the Chairman in all honesty deep down.

"For the club and the fans, you get the impression it was a personality issue.

"But I just get the feeling there that, Sam's done a great job don't get me wrong, I just get the feeling that behind the scenes Sam was not their man."
