2009–10 West Ham United F.C. season

The 2009–10 Premier League is West Ham United's 5th consecutive season in the Premier League on the back of a 9th place in the 2008–09 Premier League. They were managed by Gianfranco Zola - in his second season after replacing Alan Curbishley in September 2008. This was his first and only full season as manager.

The Hammers managed to win their first Premier League game of the season against Wolverhampton at the Molineux,^[1] but failed to win another until early November 2009 after an injury time winner from Zavon Hines sealed an upset win against Aston Villa.^[2]

The Upton Park riots took place in West Ham's first Football League Cup game on 25 August 2009 against fierce rivals Millwall. The club was fined £115,000 after pitch invasions and brawling, resulting in a Millwall fan being stabbed.^[3] West Ham won the game 3-1 after extra time.

On 19 January 2010, former Birmingham City owners David Gold and David Sullivan completed a joint takeover of West Ham United from cash-strapped Icelandic owner Björgólfur Guðmundsson.^[4]

Mid season form was up and down, but after a loss at Old Trafford,^[5] West Ham had a string of 6 consecutive losses to put them in major relegation danger. A late equaliser in a 2-2 draw at Everton,^[6] followed by a 1-0 win at home against Sunderland^[7] restored the faith. Another poor game at Anfield^[8] was a minor hiccup in West Ham's quest for survival, and after being given a golden opportunity to stay up, West Ham earned three points against Wigan in a hard fought 3-2 win.^[9] Simultaneously, Hull City blew an opportunity against Sunderland, losing 0-1. West Ham's Premier League status was confirmed on 3 May with Hull City's 2-2 draw with Wigan Athletic leaving Hull five points behind West Ham and with only one game remaining to play.^[10] West Ham's away record of only one away win all season equalled their lowest number of away wins for a season, last achieved in season 1960-61.^[11] On 11 May 2010, two days after the end of the 2009-10 season, West Ham announced the termination of manager Gianfranco Zola's contract with immediate effect.^[12]
