Season summary
In the 1960–61 season, Ted Fenton left West Ham in March which was never fully explained by the club. Under strain and on sick-leave and with West Ham's league position suffering he left the club under circumstances which both he and the club decided would remain confidential. He was succeeded as manager in April 1961 by Ron Greenwood , who guided the Hammers to a 16th-place finish at the end of the campaign.
