David Gold: 'Europe not beyond West Ham'
West Ham chairman refutes Sam Allardyce's claims that European football is beyond them this season.
Allardyce, who lost his job at the Hammers in the summer, claimed that the Hammers owners had asked too much of him.
Writing in The Mirror, he wrote "If (West Ham co-owners) David Sullivan and David Gold have told Slaven Bilic that they expect to get into Europe this year then I think it's way beyond the capabilities of the squad at this moment in time."
Gold "I don't think it is beyond our capabilities. We don't need to set targets, Slaven sets the targets for himself."
