Former West Ham boss makes bold Scott Parker prediction that would delight Hammers supporters

Former West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has backed new head coach Scott Parker to lead the club to the Championship title this season. Speaking on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, Allardyce highlighted Parker's previous success in securing promotion from the second tier with Fulham, Bournemouth, and Burnley. Parker was appointed on a two-and-a-half-year contract following the dismissal of Nuno Espirito Santo, with the team sitting eighth in the table.

Parker's tenure began with a 3-3 draw against Cardiff City, where West Ham overcame a three-goal deficit behind an 82nd-minute equalizer from Max Kilman off a Jarrod Bowen cross. With the international break providing two weeks of training, West Ham will resume their Championship campaign against Preston North End.
