2000–01 West Ham United F.C. season

During the 2000–01 English football season, West Ham United F.C. competed in the FA Premier League (known as the FA Carling Premiership for sponsorship reasons).

Season summary

The sale of English defender Rio Ferdinand to Leeds United contributed towards a dip in West Ham's Premiership form, and mystery surrounded the departure of manager Harry Redknapp on 9 May after seven years as manager - was he resigned or was he sacked? Alan Curbishley, Steve McClaren and George Graham were just some of the many names linked with the vacancy before it was announced that caretaker manager and former youth coach Glenn Roeder would be taking over on a permanent basis.

Roeder's appointment was met with endless disapproval by fans who felt that he wasn't experienced enough to take charge of a side which had spent the last three seasons in the frame for European football. Many outsiders shared their views, and for the first time in years the punters were starting to take bets on West Ham being relegated.
